Phar Lap was a New Zealand-born champion Australian Thoroughbred racehorse. Achieving incredible success during his distinguished career, the gelding's initial underdog status gave people hope during the early years of the Great Depression. He won the Melbourne Cup, two Cox Plates, the Australian Derby, and nineteen other weight-for-age races.
The name Phar Lap derives from the common Zhuang and Thai word for lightning, meaning literally "sky flash."
