  • @HazzyPotterWatcha new zealand didnt want him because he was skinny and scabby, so all of a sudden when he becomes a champ, they claim him? NOT HOW IT WORKS!

  • @HazzyPotterWatcha oh so he was born in australia was he? all of what i said was true so STFU!

  • Phar Lap - Born in NZ, Lived in Australia.. He can't be claimed by both, so we shall call him the true Kangaiwi horse (Kangaroo + Kiwi)

  • @mysty0 Even Sec's lesser son, Kingston Rule, still holds the track record at the Melbourne Cup - that's how pathetic that race is and Aussie racing in general. Phar Lap was a bloody castrate, a half-horse. Secretariat was a real, majestic stallion and would have beaten no-balls to a pulp if they raced. What has Australia produced to compare with Sec, Dr. Fager, The Bid etc...You produce milk horses in comparison.

    PHAR LAP = MOST OVER-RATED AND SENSATIONALISED HORSE OF ALL TIME!!

  • yes yes phar lap was foaled in NEW ZEALAND but around a year old he was sold to David J davis who lived in australia so phar lap was born in new zealand but knew and lived in australia

  • Whats the movie called?

  • @teamkahlagan a horse called phar lap i think

  • phar lap is a legend!

  • um pharlap was bred in NEW ZEALAND

  • Its a NZ horse with An NZ trainer.

    Fuck australia always stealing our famous icons

  • you racist prick, Did David Davis predict that Phar Lap would be the Greatest racehorse of all time even a horse from New Zealand? no he fucking did not. It was destiny as he saved millions of lives from starvation during the Depression. He was a hero to a nation. and in case you haven't noticed Phar Lap's Skeleton is kept in NZ as a tribute to his country of birth so quit picking on Australia

  • best of the best

    hero

    champion

    Rest in peace Phar Lap

    You will be

    Forever in our hearts ...... a winning horse Phar Lap♥

  • One of my all time favourite movies. The ending gets me every time.

  • Stop fighting over him if yous really cared for him u would stop he is not a toy u cau fight over he is his own

  • Phar Lap is an NZ bred, American owned, Australian trained horse. In all technicality, he's far more a Kiwi or Australian horse than an American horse! There wasn't a single thing he had to do with the US aside from his owner, and then his final races over there. Nothing American about him, and the book that publishes him as number 22 also published OTHER horses from other countries. It is simply a compilation of horses that raced in the US or were deemed 'rank worthy' enough.

  • thats bullshit! Phar Lap was born in NZ

  • take that NZ we steal another

  • Nice video. However Phar Lap was a New Zealand horse (foaled near Timaru , New Zealand) and was trained and raced in Australia before going to the US.

  • if it says coming soon then why isnt it uploaded?! grr

  • Becouse You tube remove it....i will try another time!!!

  • where can i download this movie????

  • what song is this???

    PLZ i need to know for schooll...

  • This is from Phar Lap movie....

  • it looks like pompeii ruler!

  • Great movie and a Great story of the legend PHAR LAP THE HORSE''

    and my 8 hours of fame to this movie

    was...,eye cut the leather out for the 30 warwick race saddlies. at syd hills & sons saddlery at the time in the 80's...but sadly no credit at the end of the movie m only here and now..cheers 2J **

  • evryone loves phar lap he's a true natural runner.

    to bad he died though that made me and my dad cry. (we never cry at things like that)

    it was so sad :'(

  • A great Australian film about an American owned champ.

  • America wishes they owned him.

  • An American did own him. Anyway, America has most of the other great horses. I think Ruffian was the best one. The only great non American horse that comes to mind is Kinscem. Sea Bird is considered the greatest of all time, but I'm no so sure.

  • He may have been owned by an American, but he is AUSTRALIA'S greatest reacehorse. I've never heard of Sea Bird, i think you might be thinking of Seabiscuit.

  • Red Rum is also one of the greats! he won the grand national 3 times (he still has the record), an he did it with more weight on his back than most other horses had!

    he had alot of heart and will, like Ruffian. =)

  • Correct. I guess you would like Desert Orchid too - a favorite with the kids. I am not so sure with weight and Red Rum. He was giving a lot of weight to Crisp.

    Red Rum "1973" Grand National

  • ye i do like him, he was alot like Rummy for his passion an iron will!

    i also liked his front running attackin style! =)

    y is he a fave with the kids? lol

    yes sorry, in that race Crisp did hav more weight on his back.

    But it is true that Rummy didnt carry 'light' weights, an for a horse that wasnt very tall an that had to jump fences his own size, im guessin it took alot of effort and strengh! lol =) Considering that Crisp was bigger, i think this would ov helped him.

  • (continude)

    (as uve probs guessed, i stick up for Rummy all the time! im biased! haha!) =)

  • Laura. I love Rummy too. :)

  • did u get both comments? coz i duno wether the first sent.

    anyway.... ye its gd to no u luv him 2! =)

    Him and Orchid were the greatest in the UK, but if i had to pick my fave, its got to be Rummy! (sorry Orchid lol) wa abo u?

  • Fave? There are quite a few. I did like Deep Impact, although he flopped badly in the Arc. In the UK, there was Dancing Brave and Nijiinsky. In the US, Secretariat, Cigar, Sunday Silence (also sire of Deep Impact) and Ruffian. Phar Lap was before my time. Allez France was good. In Australia, Kingston Town and in New Zealand, Cardigan Bay. In Canada,. Northern Dancer.

  • nice choice! tbh most of them were before my time lol Rummy died in 1995 wen i was 4 years old. Desert Orchid died in 2006 wen i was 15 (but obviously Rummys racing career was already over by the time i was born an Orchid was at the end of his). i think Babaro would ov made a great racer, he died to young! =( hope his bros become as gd!

    like u said tho, i hav loads to, i luv erm all. (even tho alot came before me lol!) its really hard to choose!

    i luv alot of the underdogs that prove to b best

  • Thanks. I think Red Rum is possibly the most well known horse in the world. Every country has its heroes.

  • ye i think hes one ov erm!

    ye they do, like Australia has Phar Lap. America has Ruffian, Seabiscuit, War Ad, man o war, Secretariat etc.

    UK has Red Rum, Des Orchid, Kincsem (he was of UK decent) etc.

    their all amazin! =)

    im actually thinkin abo gettin an ex race horse. (ive been riding for years). but ill wait an see as im startin uni in a few weeks so ill hav to see how that goes first. =)

  • Good for you! Horse racing has been a passion of mine for many years. I think the only good one in recent years is Deep Impact, the Japanese horse. He absolutely smashed world records. The ones you mentioned were all greats. Don't forget the English horse Eclipse, who was considered unbeatable, and nearly every present day thoroughbred is descended from. The US still has the Eclipse Awards and England the Ecilpse Stakes, both named after this great horse.

  • he was like the greatest! i wish they had video footage back then so we could hav seen him! (i didnt forget him, just that theres to many horses to mention so in just put 'etc' lol =)

    i think it was so much better how they used to race horses back then (apart from the saftey on the track, thats got better obv.) but racers used to live alot longer back then (which is kinda disscustin considerein that we hav drugs to help nowadays), i think 1 of the reasons is coz they raced them at a later age

  • (continude)

    ..... 2 years old, i think, is to young to race them, there bones havent developed prob. an this is wa courses weaker bones for the future (higher risk of a leg breakin). back then they would start racing them at round 5 years old (which i think is abo right, or lil bit younger) and they would hav alot longer racing career than they do now becuase of this (i think!) they raced more races, had a longer career in it before goin to stud and there was less injurys.

  • how many races did he race there or near there? ONE ONE

  • Who cares. Jesse Owens won his Gold in Germany. That doesn't make him German.

  • thats WAY diffrent then horse racing you dumb Americians think you own everything

  • TheHorseGames. No its not. It is exactly the same. Horses may be from one country and race elsewhere. Phar Lap was owned by an American. Northern Dancer raced in the US. Everyone knows he is was Canadian horse, as he was owned by a Canadian..

  • what dang stite did you get that shit form I been to the offical stite for Phar Lap said he is Austrialan hyst because dumb America will never have a horse like him just because an American was his onwer doesn't mean he was an American horse I read books on horse racing they all say Phar Lap was Austrilan so get your facts right idoit

  • TheHorse. No they don't. I have never seen Phar Lap being described as "Asutralian". He is officially called PHAR LAP (NZ). He is also nominated the 22nd greatest ever American racehorse. The only ones who say that Phar Lap is Australian are Australians. This is mentioned in an Autsralian film. Get used to it. Phar Lap is American.

  • whats next your gonna say America owns Makybe Diva to?

  • TheHorseGames. Makybe Diva is not American like Phar Lap. The Australians can have than one, even though the horse is not from there.

  • don't forget he was only PART owned by a American

  • omg who cares! Why are you so defensive? What have you got against America?

  • nothing and anyway

    yes he was owned by a american but he moved to Austriala and took up citzenship yes his trainer was born in NZ but he moved to Austraila and took up ciztenship so basicly he is an Austrilaian horse but America will never admit that

  • Yeah some people get pretty crazy about that stuff. But he was such a great horse and your absolutely right, America tries to be the best at everything. Everything is a competition to us *sigh*

  • every country has it's champions both human and equine

  • I agree! We had some champs, but it's not like we are the only country. Besides, we brought gambling and other terrible things into the racing industry. Which is why England made the Jersey Act.

  • i like it better when we agree

  • lol yeah it is better

  • @TheHorseGames Us Dumb Americans had Foolish Pleasure, Ruffian, Man O' War, Seabiscuit, Black Gold, U-See-It, War Admiral, Gallant Fox, Cigar, Alphabet Soup. Shall I go on? All were as good or better than Phar Lap so WHO CARES where he came from!!!!!!!!!

  • why bringing up a agurement from the past america just wants to be the best at everything well guess what life don't work that way

  • He was a great horse (I am not saying he's not) but you should keep those comments to yourself. And maybe America is the best at everything. Deal with it.

  • Get over it fat ass.

  • I bet you if he wasn't a champ Americana whouldn't want anything to do with him

  • Look, i am sorry for what i said. I don't care where he came from, he was a great horse and was one of my favorites. Australia or where ever he came from should be proud. And i don't care if he's half american, i am not shallow. And your right, americans try to be the best at everything. But what country doesn't? Phar Lap is beautiful and great, and I am proud that he was half american.

  • @Pupdog911 above all that Secretariat which is the greatest horse to set hoof on a track

  • @live2ride6692 lmfao!!

  • @mysty0 what's so funny

  • @live2ride6692 You keep on drumming your sensationalism.., next time america thinks they have a credible horse feel free to bring it to the Melbourne Cup so it can get spanked. Anyway., far too many morons to argue this point with so wont be wsting my time with you anymore.

    SECRETARIAT = MOST OVER-RATED AND SENSATIONALISED HORSE OF ALL TIME!!

  • @mysty0 oh and phar lap isn't. you are like the pot calling the kettle black. you say i'm drumming on about my sensationalism(which i wasn't, i only said he was great once i didn't keep drumming it on) but aren't you saying the same thing about phar lap how he is so great. the only way to prove which is better is to race both against each other which won't happen because they are both dead. and you are just wasting my time by being the moron thinking you are so much better

  • @live2ride6692 Like I said., next time you guys have a horse you think is worthy bring it to the Melbourne Cup.., til then you can make all the movies and talk all the crap you like. With all the International competition and horses that have ran the Melbourne Cup very few even come close to being mentioned alongside PharLap and even then world renowned trainers and breeders still know where the title belongs! too bad so sad., now you run along now ya hear!

  • @mysty0 I don't care what you have to say, that's you opinion and I don't give a crap. You are such an idiot for replying to something I said a month ago and then saying I'm wrong for stating my opinion-which I'm not because it's my opinion and you can think that you are right all you want you sad little man.

  • @mysty0 The little bitch continues to write his unsupported comments. How many youtube names do you have so you can run and hide. What weights did Phar Lap actually carry??? The phony Christian makes a fool of himself. go back to your heroin addiction and jail. You are better off as a prison bitch.
