Nothing else mat t-qred yesterday but th,u result of the Agua Calient© Handieap, tlie* i idlest race iff South America. The Star’s telephone was continuously ringing; with the question from far and near: Did Phar Lap win? Ho did. Easily. And yet that easy win was a record for the race and Elliott did not have to use the whip more than, once on the Red 'terror, as the horse is known on Australia’s tracks’. P»v this victory New Zealand sets a big boost

a s the country that produced such a machine and Australia scores as training ground. Phar Lap was foaled in the South Island, was bought as a yearling for £l3o—it is said that a P’eilding sportsman was given the first. refusal—and has spent the other four vear s of a very active and money making life in Australia. Already lie has won more money than the famous Carbine (a New Zealand horse) and .is now second only in record aggregate to an American racehorse, Sun Beau, who has won £73,350 to Phar Lap’s £70.00*0.
