For decades school children have made the pilgrimage to the Museum of Victoria to see the final resting place of our greatest racing horse ever. No wonder Phar Lap holds a special place in the hearts of Australians.
This book is a fitting tribute to the legend. Beautifully presented with numerous archival photographs including some never published before, it is a detailed record of his life and achievements and a chronicle of his impact on the culture of our nation. Contents include stories from Henry Lawson and Banjo Patterson, specially commissioned pieces by prominent racing identities and contributions by Museum staff who have guarded the exhibit over the years.
Generations of Australians have gazed in awe at the towering red champion with the mighty heart. Now at last he'll take pride of place in a stunning new museum. This book celebrates his return.
