Phar Lap stands for many admirable attributes including perseverance, excellence, determination, the ability to rise above perception and the enduring qualities of a true champion.

Even today. 76 years after Phar Lap's win of the Melbourne Cup, his name is frequently used as a benchmark of excellence to analyse the highest level of performance.

The Phar Lap Trust welcomes your involvement with our project to build a fitting memorial for Phar Lap – a bronze, life sized statue of the great racehorse situated at the entrance to Timaru. More information on sponsorship
