Hate to break it to you owlhouse but she isn't an Australian horse either. Born and bred in England. ** On another note this horse dosen't even come close to being as good as Phar Lap. Look up their respective records and compare weight for age results (the true mark of a champion). Phar Lap also didn't have to have the track watered for him to win and he won overseas (Makybe Dive was a dismal failure in Japan). He also won a race on every day of the Spring carnival in 1930 (incl the Melbourne Cup) prior to dying in the US. Who know how much better he may have been considering he was only a five year old.
