As the Great Depression began to bite in Australia, Phar Lap would bounce from his third-place finish in the 1929 Melbourne Cup and begin to establish his legend.

With a display of front running that would shock the racing industry, Phar Lap would conquer the AJC Plate, before Harry Telford took him to South Australia on a cash grab, a move that did not go down well with the public.

Titus is touring the country. Tickets are on sale now.

After announcing himself as a horse worth watching, Phar Lap would unleash on the Sydney and Melbourne Spring Carnivals, only for the intrigue to build around him.
