  • phar lap was a australian baby nice videoLOL

  • i find it weird how, when he was all yukky looking and all skinny and ew new zealand didnt want him, so they sold him, and when he turns out to be a champion they say that he was their horse! when they gave him up for his brother nightmarch which he beat like 5 times!

  • i love this vid i cryed when i first watched it, he was a legend not matter where he raced!

    R.I.P Phar Lap

  • this IS THE BEST VIDEO I HAVE EVERY SEEN!!!!!!

  • PHAR LAP (NZ). The NZ stands for New Zealand. :)

  • I love Pharlap. I'm Americain and have the movie. Pharlap is Australia's version of Sea biscuit or Secretariat. God bless PharLap

  • Yes Phar Lap was born in NZ but so was Russel Crowe but we never hear a kiwi claim him as there own...

  • @Geelongno1 Russel Crowe isn't a hero to a nation like Phar Lap...Im from NZ..honestly I think some NZ'rs are strange how they think Phar Lap's theirs. The only people who Phar Lap belonged to was; Dave Davis & Tommy Woodcock in the end...the rest are just fans.

  • i love this movie i saw it when I was a little child the first time and when ever I see the movie again i must cry in the end.

    I think thaht is the reason i love foxes <3 my hose is a fox ^^

  • das beste buch was ich jeh gelesen habe :) ♥

  • the greatest, bred in nz, trained in aus, part owned by a seppo and killed by one too, what a shame

  • wats a seppo

  • The greatest horse in racing history. Born in New Zealand but still part of Australian racing history

  • Great clip, Towering Inferno did a great job representing Pharlap in the movie! Towering Inferno is now dead too, May both these 2 beautiful horses rip. Pharlap was the greatest of them all!

  • you are so right phar lab was the best and i cry to

  • it doesn't matter if he raced or New Zealand,America or Austriala or any country he whould of been a legend anyway no matter where he raced

  • Great Kiwi icon.

  • Awesome Video, I really do love it. I think it really suits Phar Lap

  • The name of the music is in description.

    Thank you all for the superb comments...

    And stop fighting about where he came from or anything else,this is totally for worlds most promising horse with a heart and mind,and i really like that you just enjoy the video. It doesn't matter is he from Aus or NZ,he is world's horse abd ours....That's all!!! ;)))

  • That so true

  • What's the song called?

  • whats the name of this song?

  • Phar Lap was a good horse, rated the 22nd best American horse of the 20th Century. He was considered a hero in Austraiia, but not well known outside that country. Other more famous international horses were Secretariat, Northern Dancer, Ruffian and Red Rum.

  • i cant belive the owners raced phar lap with a fucked up hoof but harsh

    great horse though

  • They didn't, Tom did his strapper.

  • this movie makesme cry everytime. Phar Lap woz a tru LEGEND. R.I.P...gone but not forgotten big fella...Love You Bobby....xxx

  • Phar Lap was bred in New Zealand, but the world knows him as an aussie horse. either way, he's not american. I absolutely adore the story of Phar Lap, them movie always makes me shed a tear or two (or a few) R.I.P

  • R.I.P Phar Lap there will never be a horse that chould replace you

  • no problem :-D

  • This video is so stunning and beautifull :-D

  • Thanks :)

  • beautiful horse. American,Austrailian or which ever. hes a great legend:)

  • Phar Lap - an American wonder. He was American.

  • Phar Lap was New Zeland horse {Hope I spelt that right lol} born there and then taken over to Australia where he was trained and his owner was American. Seabiscute was Americans wonder horse and was almost as good as Phar Lap, but Phar Lap was only owned by an American owner and raced agasnt American horses over there. {sorry bout spelling lol}

  • he was first fully owned by an american and leased to an australian BUT in the ned he was half owned by an aussie and half by a american.

  • Then home come he is called PHAR LAP (NZ), if he is Australian?

  • he isn't called Phar lap (NZ) one there is no space between his nape it is pharlap second hardly anyone calls him pharlap they call him bobby. His real name is bobby Pharlap is his racing name

  • it does have a space you idoit

  • your the idiot, the the leaser called him PHARLAP no space but the racing industry made it to words for his breeding. farlap is some foriegn name for lighting but the leaser said it has to have seven letters all melbourne cup winners have seven letters(his words not mine) so he put it as a PH...pharlap

  • ummmm I looked on the stite and it said Phar Lap

  • there are thousands of sites for Pharlap. The correct spelling when you are just talking about him is Pharlap when you get into breeding it is Phar Lap.

  • what sick I'm sixk of augreing with you

  • sorry you can't see it the right way.

  • fuck UUUUU

  • haven't you got anything better to do they insult someone on a computer

  • they ?? nope!

  • @91cowgirl it is Phar Lap with a space, search it up i bet you one million times over

    i live in england, but my uncle lives in austraila and sent a photo to my grandad because he is a huge fan and it had a plaque with a bit about him these are the the exact words

    "Phar Lap was born on the 4th of October 1926, at seadown stud, Timaru NZ and died on the 5th of april 1932, at merlo park, california. He recorded 37 wins, 3 seconds, 2 thrids, placings from 51 starts including 1930 melborn cup."

  • Sorry, but Phar Lap wasn't american.

  • He was owned by an American. That makes him American. does it not?

  • sorry, thats not always true. He became a legend in australia, he was leased to Telford when he first came to aus, and then Telford ended up owning a 50% share in Phar Lap. So technically, Davis only owned half of Phar Lap. But that still doesn't mean Bobby was american.

  • Comment removed

  • I know .... America can get fucked! Think they own everyting.... Phar Lap was a new zealand bred horse that is an AUSTRALIAN LEGEND!

    America has nothing to do with how he trained, nor how good he was.

  • no he was raced in astralia and born there ithink so hes astralion

  • I think he was from the US.

  • But he was BORN in NZ that is why their is a (nz) at the end of his name. But when he was a colt he wa shipped to australia where he was trained and where he grew up making him an australian.

  • OMG! He was born on oct. 4th 1926 timaru, newzelend!!!!!

  • born in NZ moved here when he was 2. Trained and lived here for the rest of his life. Makes him australian :)

  • unlikely

  • @91cowgirl Trained by a NZer. fuck you australians are so thick.

    If someone was born in ausse but came here to train, u would still say he is your icon.

    It is an NZ horse that competed in your country. It is nz's greatest horse.

    fucking idiots

  • @BPOPINGTMO He wasn't trained by a NZer. He spent TWO years in NZ and NZ didn't want him. HE lived, worked, trained and played the rest of his life in australia. Till as every knows, died in america.

  • @BPOPINGTMO Phar Lap was "trained" by Harry Telford an australian, Phar Laps sire was Night Raid an ENGLISH BORN stallion. So his lines are not full NZ idiot. NZ didn't even WANT HIM thats why they sold him as a yearling. Poor bugger not even two and gets thrown from his place of origon. He didn't just train in australia he lived 8 and a half years here. If it wasn't for an australian he would of been DOGGED!!

  • @91cowgirl I accidently clicked the 8 instead of the 5, yes i know I am a dick!

  • @91cowgirl Your a young typical blinded Aussie. I don't expect your common sense to override your patriotism when it is totally fucked up...After all your ancestors that founded Australia and gave birth to the nation were criminals, prostitutes, and rejects sent from Britain.

    It seems their line of thinking continues on in you, nice one.

  • @BPOPINGTMO Hello, you forgot guards who were sent over to australia to keep everyone in line, der... Which is most of my heritage. But how does being stubborn have anything to do with criminals and prostitues? You obviously don't know much about Phar Lap considering you thought both his isre and dam were NZ horses.

  • @91cowgirl FUCK UP.

    Seriously, people like you just piss me off!

    Do you remember correctly, the only person who took interest in him was Harry Telford (trainer), who for your information was born in NZ. Do you know, no Australian wanted him AS WELL, until he started winning races. SO dont act like he was Australian's star from the day he landed there. He was NZ born, Australian owned.

  • @HazesSquirt actually the only person to care about him before he started winning was his strapper Tommy Woodcock , he was australian ...

  • @peggssy97 I know he was Australian..Im not trying to be one of those idiots claiming his as their own. The first person to really notice him was Harry Telford. Harry noticed him when searching through a auction thingy (can't remember what it's called), he found Lot 32 (Phar Lap) and went through his pedigree - I have a book about Phar Lap and it shows a pic of Phar Lap's pedigree and there's crosses, ticks and circles around certain names of his pedigree which interested him caus what they won.

  • @91cowgirl Sorry no, born in NZ and foaled here, he just raced in aussie. does not make him australian

  • @91cowgirl His heritage is also to NZ horese. As his mother and father were kiwi horses. Makes his blood and birth by right Kiwi. He just used Australia to become famous, but that does not make him your horse

  • @91cowgirl no . if i moved to ur gay country it would not make me auzzie

  • @platinum1234567890 WTF!? are you calling Australia gay? Dude. if you said that to the aboriginals you'll get fucking bashed!

  • No to make him an american he would have to grow up there. He grew up in australia which makes him and australian horse HALF owned by an american.

  • he wasn't American you hated him thats why you killed him!

  • yer once he did it inevery race he went in

  • Comment removed

  • actually he did, in the Preakness

  • what's this song's name???

  • Comment removed

  • Awesome Video

  • No worries mate, I hope that I came across as informative and respectful, rather than negative or opinionated, for that was my true intention. I'm just a racing fan too. Phar Lap was a fucking marvel of a horse, to be sure, and his story is the stuff of legend. Best of luck.

  • your a fag his not New Zealand his Aussie mate so shut up i think everyone would agre wif me!!!!!!

  • He was born in New Zealand.

  • Great NEW ZEALAND horse

  • he was the best horse of the world.bobby only win for tommy!!!

  • I'm a huge fan of Phar Lap too, but there are horses with better race records than him. Kincsem for example was a mare who won all 54 of her 54 career starts, largely in European stakes company. She won the premier events of her time: The Goodwood Cup, Grand Prix de Deauville, Grosser Preis von Baden (three years in a row). There are a number of others. I don't think a record says everything about a horse though. As you rightly say the effect he has had on an entire nation is beyond compare.

  • PharLap is by far THE best movie I have ever seen!!

    To those wondering what the music is:

    Adiemus by Enya

  • What's the music???

  • The song, Adiemus, is composed by Welsh composer Karl Jenkins. Miriam Stockley is the lead vocalist, with Mary Carewe providing harmonies in the choruses on three of the Adiemus albums. Enya is commonly mistaken as the lead vocalist as it sounds like something she would sing.

  • it a madd video, coem be serious everyone who is the best race horce of all time??

  • Bobby..Pharlap would of easily beaten any race horse in the past or today. His heart wouldn't let him loose (WITHOUT OVERLOADING HIM WITH WEIGHT) the size of his heart would let him win with ease

  • thnx 4 that mate

  • we will mis ya boy r.i.p to ya miss ya you were a champ

  • I love it! I must cry when i see it... I read the book. It´s a very good book.

    your movie is fantastic. I often watch it. Very good :)

  • the song fits this video amazingly!!!!~!

  • wow! you've done a FANTASTIC job! WAYYY better than mine lol :P Great job! :D

  • Great video..... :-)

    One of the best movies.... I really like Towering Inferno, he is big and beautiful.... Not like "Ruffian" cast, they are ponies.... :-/ We all know how she looked.... They done perfect job with role of the main caracter...

  • jeah ^^ the Red Devil. I really love that legand. Very good Movie - and a good clip!

  • The American (Davis) and the Aussie (Telford) became part owners of Phar Lap .

  • Phar Lap was a NEW ZEALAND horse! Born in Timaru!

  • phar laps mother was purchased and exported from the UK by a NZ breeder ,his father had also been a dud on the race track in england and was sold to Australia then to the NZ breeder Mr A.F.Roberts whose stud was at Timaru .there Night Raid served Entreaty and their 1st foal was called Fortune's Wheel their 2nd foal was Phar lap their 3rd foal was Nea Lap their 4th foal was Night Guard their 5th was All Clear 6th foal was Friday Night and their last foal together was Raphis .

  • If you havnt gone to see phar lap you should ..

  • actually PharLap was born in New Zealand

    but this movie was very sad

  • Indeed. Though he came to Australia as a yearling and it was only after 2 years of intense training by Telford his lazy nature was curbed and he learn to run. It is impossible to say if he would have done as well with another history. I would say he was a joint effort.

  • yea that movie was sad... he was only 6 yrs old too

  • i love this video and i love phar lap hes is one of the best and its so sad what happen i have been able to watch this or phar lap with out cryin but anywayz where did you get this song or do you know what its called cause i realy like this song!!!!????

  • it's called Adiemus by Adiemus and Karl Jenkins

  • how you think, is it movie better than 'seabiscuit'? please, tell me, I didn't watch 'phar lap' but I would like...

  • sorry, "what do you think..." - I don't speak english very well :]

  • Well i love Seabiscuit too but Phar lap movie is better,but it's all about tastes!!!

  • I agree, Seabiscuit might be cinematically superior, but Phar Lap is just better. Both are awesome, though.

  • was phar lap in these films or is it ust me

    great movie

  • This is a great movie, and I think anyone would like it.

    Phar Lap, was an extrodinary horse, who no one thought would win it.

    Even in the end years, he was still strong.

  • Hi, I didn't know Phar Lap was poisoned.  This is a beautiful tribute. I see some of the comments listed above. Who cares where he is from and what song it is. He is a beautiful horse and it is beautiful music. Good job.

    From the girl in the US

  • phar lap isnt even australian. he was born and bred in timaru, new zealand

  • but he raced in Australia so he is australian

  • thats like saying ronaldinho is spanish. ronaldinho plays soccer in spain but that doesnt make him spanish. hes brazilian.

  • Ok whatever you want is fine with me

  • if Phar Lap raced for an australian stable he was australian. it's different than football

  • its not different from football, its the exact same concept. he was born and bred in nz, owned by an american. he only had his races in australia which he raced for himself. nothing to do with australia

  • indiaismygirl: No, it isn´t Enya..  It´s a Adiemus..

  • No it's Era - Avatar

  • which is enya!!

  • whatever

  • omg i'm sorry i just looked it up! your right haha i'm stupid!

  • No you are not stupid people make mistakes it's ok

  • wonderful video

  • This movie is a wonderful, but sad. It is a shame that this poor horse was poisned.

  • OMG is that song by Enya?!?!?!?!?! YES! IT IS BTW ENYA IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!AND PHAR LAP IS AMAZING......TOO THIS VIDEO IS AMAZING!! I'M SO EXCITED! O.0

  • good job

  • Awesome!!!!

  • nice job!
