Phar Lap raced just a few years before Seabiscuit. PL died in 1932, and Seabiscuit began racing circuit w/ Smith in '36. Hope that helps! :) (Funny...Phar Lap was also called "Horse of the Century"...and other very similar adjectives used to describe Seabiscuit.) -- Sassenach Musings

In reply to: Erica 's message, "I just saw Phar Lap last night. There was another great horse. Was he racing at the same time as Seabiscuit? The movie also mentioned the stock market crash, but didn't say anything about Seabiscuit and I don't think the book mentioned Phar Lap. Just wondering." on 11:47:47 09/22/03 Mon

the cause of Phar Lap's death was never proven - it was often suggested that he was poisoned but colic was the more likely cause, it can destroy a big beautiful horse in minutes. Phar Lap was the best racehorse ever to compete in Australia and he is a national hero - so much so that his mounted hide is the Melbourne Museum's most visited exhibit. The movie missed out on the facts a bit but it was moving and it had the best soundtrack of all time!
