A champion New Zealand-bred Thoroughbred racehorse, Phar Lap who is widely regarded as the greatest Australian racehorse ever, dominated Australian racing during his distinguished career and gave people hope during the early years of the Great Depression. He won the Melbourne Cup, two Cox Plates, the Australian Derby, and 19 other weight-for age races. One of his greatest performances was winning the Agua Caliente Handicap in Mexico in track-record time in his final race. He won in a different country, after a bad start many lengths behind the leaders, with no training before the race, and he split his hoof during the race. After a sudden and mysterious illness, Phar Lap died in 1932 in Atherton, California. At the time, he was the third highest stakes-winner in the world. His mounted hide is displayed at the Melbourne Museum, his skeleton at the Museum of New Zealand, and his heart at the National Museum of Australia.

Designed together with a bright shade of gold to bring out admiration and triumph. Aside from being admirable, let rarity be your torch as you embrace the elegance together with this piece.
