Photographs of every win by Phar Lap have been found after
laying “hidden” for more than 60 years.
The rare pictures were discovered from the archives of Phar
Lap’s owner Mr David Davis, and they have been reproduced
for the first time in The Phar Lap Collection.
This superb volume, printed on art-quality paper and complete
with a burgundy linen presentation case, is complemented by
thoroughly researched statistics and text.

the might of Phar Lap. The ease of many of his victories cannot
be appreciated until you see the finishes.
