Phar Lap's Life
Phar Lap didn't always look like a champion.
Born in Timaru, New Zealand, in 1926, he was
sold for the bargain price of 160 guineas
($336.00). When he arrived in Australia his new
owner, American-born David J. Davis, was not
very impressed with him. He was skinny and
clumsy, with warts all over his head. Davis
was angry with the trainer, Harry Telford, who
had persuaded him to put up the money to
buy the horse. He did not want to waste any
more money to pay for its training, so he
leased the horse to Telford for the next three
years. Telford would pay to train and feed the
horse and keep any prize money he won. The
trainer, who knew a great deal about
racehorse pedigrees, was certain that, with
Phar Lap's breeding, he would become a
champion.
Although he was named Phar Lap, a Thai
phrase meaning 'wink of the skies' or
'lightning', around the stables the horse was
known as Bobby. Tom Woodcock, a young
stable boy, became Phar Lap's main attendant.
Phar Lap was docile and lazy and liked to play
tricks on Woodcock. Soon he became so fond
of the stable boy that he would not eat unless
Woodcock was in his stall with him.
