Phar Lap was Australia's Seabiscuit. He was a national hero in that tiny island continent in the 1930s, winning 36 of his 41 races there. He then came to North America and won a distinguished race in Mexico. A few weeks later, he died from eating poisonous herbs while grazing, and there was a suspicion that he was poisoned by enemies who did not want to see him win more races in North America. http://museumvictoria.com.au/PharLap/
Phar Lap was a mighty Australian racehorse. He is believed to of been poisoned by excessive amounts of arsenic. many race fans believe that, when Phar Lap travelled to America to compete, the Americans poisoned him, however there is no evidence. Race trainers and grooms used to give racehorses small amounts of arsenic to the horse in their feed to make the coat shine.
Phar Lap was killed because he was winning every race he entered and the bookmakers weren't making any money because everybody was betting on him.
He was loved because he was an Australian race horse.
