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.
