    Phar Lap, by Geoff Armstrong

    Reason I bought this book is that as the author of 'The Agua Caliente Story', I wish I had this book BEFORE I began the writing process! Phar Lap has always been a great story to me, the fact that perhaps one the worlds greatest racehorses ran in a track in Tijuana Mexico. I cover what I could gather on Phar Lap and his race, the Agua Caliente Handicap, which at one time was the worlds richest race, but to have a bio on Phar Lap alone was a special treat for me. I'm glad I was able to find it.Phar Lap's legend will never die.

    AWESOME BOOK!!

    As a life-long horse racing fan,I have always been interested in Phar Lap and his story. This book is such a tasteful account of his life, and the people who were close to him, I almost felt like I was with them. It is wonderfully written, and the photos are priceless! It is a welcome edition to my collection. It was everything and more than I expected! I love getting books, for I can keep them and enjoy them year after year.
