Phar Lap

[Calzone Lord]

With his suspicious death and all -- and looking at his form -- I wonder if this horse was heavily doped throughout his racing career.

He seemed too impossibly good to be true...and after a dismal 1-for-10 start to his career no less.



It appears almost comical how much better he was than everything else in his Aussie races. He made a complete mockery of that field under true handicap conditions on dirt and ran very fast despite a stupid ride.
