What is that horse's name?
174
00:10:42,834 --> 00:10:44,714
MiIkaI's GaIIoping Giraffe.
175
00:10:44,714 --> 00:10:46,194
CattIe.
Rocket.
176
00:10:46,194 --> 00:10:48,314
How about Lightning?
( AII Iaugh )
177
00:10:48,314 --> 00:10:51,034
Mr Ping, what's the word
for `Iightning' in your Iingo?
178
00:10:51,034 --> 00:10:53,514
FarIap.
Got a name for the coIt, Harry.
179
00:10:53,514 --> 00:10:54,994
Lay off, McCready.
180
00:10:54,994 --> 00:10:56,834
No, seriousIy. Pingy reckons
it's reaIIy Iucky.
181
00:10:56,834 --> 00:10:59,114
I'II write it down
for you, Mr TeIford.
182
00:10:59,114 --> 00:11:00,547
Very Iucky.
183
00:11:06,434 --> 00:11:08,194
Gotta have seven Ietters.
184
00:11:08,194 --> 00:11:10,994
Last four MeIbourne Cup winners
had seven Ietters.
185
00:11:10,994 --> 00:11:13,554
MeIbourne Cup? You've
gotta be joking.
186
00:11:16,434 --> 00:11:18,823
Yes, Mr TeIford. Seven Ietters.
187
00:11:21,554 --> 00:11:22,987
Phar Lap it is.
188
00:11:24,034 --> 00:11:25,754
Take the bIoody thing
back to the stabIes.
189
00:11:25,754 --> 00:11:27,187
( AII Iaugh )
190
00:11:28,634 --> 00:11:31,273
Go, Lightning!
Good one, Lightning.
191
00:11:34,354 --> 00:11:36,434
(Reads ) ``So the king saw
the beautifuI girI
192
00:11:36,434 --> 00:11:38,470
``with the goIden star
upon her brow. . .''
193
00:11:40,554 --> 00:11:42,794
``..and was so enchanted

00:11:42,794 --> 00:11:45,354
``that he asked if she wouId
become his bride.''
195
00:11:45,354 --> 00:11:47,265
Here's Daddy.
196
00:11:49,834 --> 00:11:51,314
What's wrong?
197
00:11:51,314 --> 00:11:53,754
( Sighs ) Oh, he's Iazy.
198
00:11:53,754 --> 00:11:55,234
Bone Iazy.
199
00:11:55,234 --> 00:11:56,754
StiII won't run.
200
00:11:56,754 --> 00:11:59,394
Oh, give up on him, Harry. SeII him.
201
00:11:59,394 --> 00:12:01,434
I'm not gonna give him
that satisfaction.
202
00:12:01,434 --> 00:12:04,426
He's going to Iearn to work hard
even if it kiIIs me.
203
00:13:43,474 --> 00:13:44,987
( Groans )
204
00:13:53,634 --> 00:13:56,432
(Pants )
205
00:13:58,794 --> 00:14:00,546
You poor IittIe beggar.
206
00:14:06,074 --> 00:14:07,594
Whoa, matey.
207
00:14:07,594 --> 00:14:09,391
Whoa, matey.
208
00:14:12,314 --> 00:14:13,747
Whoa, mate.
209
00:14:16,074 --> 00:14:17,507
You'II be aIright, mate. HoId on.
210
00:14:19,154 --> 00:14:20,954
HoId on.
211
00:14:20,954 --> 00:14:23,229
You'II be right. HoId on, matey.
212
00:14:25,554 --> 00:14:27,954
( Groans )
213
00:14:27,954 --> 00:14:29,554
Get up. Come on!
214
00:14:29,554 --> 00:14:31,074
Get yourseIf up.
215
00:14:31,074 --> 00:14:32,554
That's a boy.
216
00:14:32,554 --> 00:14:35,830
Ooh. You're aIright, are ya?
217
00:14:37,554 --> 00:14:39,590
Just worked into
the bIoody ground, eh?
218
00:15:10,474 --> 00:15:12,034
I can't pay you this week, Tommy.
219
00:15:12,034 --> 00:15:13,874
Just have to wait tiII I have a win.
220
00:15:13,874 --> 00:15:15,354
I didn't come about that.
221
00:15:15,354 --> 00:15:17,034
I've just seen Phar Lap.
222
00:15:17,034 --> 00:15:18,634
Oh, yeah.
223
00:15:18,634 --> 00:15:20,794
He shouIdn't have been
Ieft Iike that, boss.
224
00:15:20,794 --> 00:15:22,227
He Iooks haIf-dead.
225
00:15:23,274 --> 00:15:25,230
And I don't think you shouId
work him so hard.
226
00:15:27,394 --> 00:15:29,994
There's one thing
I don't toIerate, sonny -
227
00:15:29,994 --> 00:15:32,792
stabIe hands who teII me
how to do my job.
228
00:15:33,834 --> 00:15:35,874
Now, pack your things and cIear out.
229
00:15:35,874 --> 00:15:37,554
I was just worried about the horse!
230
00:15:37,554 --> 00:15:39,034
Hard work never kiIIed any horse!
231
00:15:39,034 --> 00:15:42,274
If a few more trainers cottoned on
to that they might do a Iot better.
232
00:15:42,274 --> 00:15:43,707
Now, pack your things and get.
233
00:15:48,994 --> 00:15:51,354
And aII you said was
that he Iooked haIf-dead?
234
00:15:51,354 --> 00:15:54,274
( AII compIain )
235
00:15:54,274 --> 00:15:57,034
I reckon it's just not fair.
236
00:15:57,034 --> 00:15:59,434
Keep your nose out of it, Emma,
it's none of your business.
237
00:15:59,434 --> 00:16:01,034
But he is kiIIing the horse, Missus.
238
00:16:01,034 --> 00:16:04,554
Lazy horses are Iike Iazy peopIe -
they have to be joIted out of it.
239
00:16:04,554 --> 00:16:06,749
Now take your pIaces, pIease.
Don't Iet your food go coId.
240
00:16:18,594 --> 00:16:20,474
ALL: For what we are about to receive
241
00:16:20,474 --> 00:16:22,434
may the Lord make us truIy thankfuI.
242
00:16:22,434 --> 00:16:23,867
Amen.
243
00:16:31,674 --> 00:16:33,107
How's it going, boss?
G'day, boss.
244
00:16:34,234 --> 00:16:35,667
Mr TeIford!
245
00:16:38,434 --> 00:16:39,914
Boss.
Hey, boss.
246
00:16:39,914 --> 00:16:41,984
Don't go back up the bush, Tommy.
247
00:16:43,714 --> 00:16:45,272
Some other trainer wiII give you a job.
248
00:16:46,514 --> 00:16:48,072
Not when they hear I got the sack.
249
00:16:49,354 --> 00:16:50,787
Yes, they wiII, Tommy.
250
00:16:52,234 --> 00:16:54,114
They know what oId TeIford's Iike.
251
00:16:54,114 --> 00:16:56,434
Enough of that.
252
00:16:56,434 --> 00:16:58,194
Mr TeIford's here to see you, Tommy.
253
00:16:58,194 --> 00:16:59,627
He's out on the porch.
254
00:17:10,554 --> 00:17:12,272
What's going on between
you and young Tommy?
255
00:17:13,474 --> 00:17:15,863
Nothing, Mum.
Better not be.
256
00:17:19,554 --> 00:17:20,987
Boss?
257
00:17:22,914 --> 00:17:24,347
What have you done to that horse?
258
00:17:26,034 --> 00:17:27,467
SpoiIed him rotten.
259
00:17:29,034 --> 00:17:31,074
Anyone goes near him
he rips their bIoody shirt off.
260
00:17:31,074 --> 00:17:32,507
He won't eat, he won't. . .
261
00:17:35,674 --> 00:17:37,744
Now, get back to the
stabIes. Get him fed.
262
00:17:43,714 --> 00:17:45,594
Reckon I got my job back.
263
00:17:45,594 --> 00:17:47,554
Gee, he's a rude oId cow.
264
00:17:47,554 --> 00:17:48,987
I wouIdn't go back.
265
00:17:50,314 --> 00:17:53,034
Better go. Bobby wiII fret.
266
00:17:53,034 --> 00:17:54,514
Bobby?
267
00:17:54,514 --> 00:17:55,947
Phar Lap.
268
00:17:57,634 --> 00:17:59,067
See you Iater.
269
00:18:01,794 --> 00:18:04,752
( Announcer caIIs race )
270
00:18:24,594 --> 00:18:26,114
Those beggars who
reckon you can't run
271
00:18:26,114 --> 00:18:28,874
are gonna get a shock today,
eh, oId feIIa?
272
00:18:28,874 --> 00:18:30,354
He's reaIIy starting to fiII out, boss.
273
00:18:30,354 --> 00:18:33,394
Hard work - puts muscIe on.
274
00:18:33,394 --> 00:18:35,794
Are you gonna watch the race?
275
00:18:35,794 --> 00:18:37,227
I'II Iisten from down here.
276
00:18:38,474 --> 00:18:40,514
Oh, don't give him more sugar!
277
00:18:40,514 --> 00:18:43,153
He'II die of bIoody diabetes
before his first race.
278
00:18:45,994 --> 00:18:49,114
Harry, say heIIo to Mrs Davis.
279
00:18:49,114 --> 00:18:51,634
Harry TeIford.
How do you do?
280
00:18:51,634 --> 00:18:54,234
OK, Iet's take a Iook at him.
281
00:18:54,234 --> 00:18:56,034
You said he was as ugIy as a cameI.
282
00:18:56,034 --> 00:18:58,434
DAVIS: You shouId have
seen him a year ago.
283
00:18:58,434 --> 00:19:01,914
So, I understand his training times
have been better recentIy, yeah?
284
00:19:01,914 --> 00:19:03,984
When he's ridden hard.
He's stiII Iazy.
285
00:19:05,234 --> 00:19:06,954
Have YOU put any money on him?
286
00:19:06,954 --> 00:19:08,794
I don't bet.
I see.
287
00:19:08,794 --> 00:19:12,034
You're not exactIy
oozing confidence, are ya?
288
00:19:12,034 --> 00:19:13,634
I don't think I'II bet on him either.
289
00:19:13,634 --> 00:19:17,354
Oh, I'm gonna have a bet on him.
Yeah? (Laughs )
290
00:19:17,354 --> 00:19:20,594
What's your name?
Tom Woodcock, ma'am.
291
00:19:20,594 --> 00:19:22,394
I'm Phar Lap's strapper.
292
00:19:22,394 --> 00:19:24,544
Do you think he'II win, Tom?
I reckon he wiII.
293
00:19:26,154 --> 00:19:27,954
RACE CALLER: As they pass
the 3-furIong post,
294
00:19:27,954 --> 00:19:29,434
and Exact is the Ieader,
295
00:19:29,434 --> 00:19:31,674
about a Iength and a haIf
in front of Memento.
296
00:19:31,674 --> 00:19:33,954
Then Phar Lap, the newcomer,
the big red horse,
297
00:19:33,954 --> 00:19:35,434
moving up on the outside.
298
00:19:35,434 --> 00:19:38,914
Cabaret GirI on the inside of him,
foIIowed then by Busham
299
00:19:38,914 --> 00:19:40,674
and Rose FIight.
300
00:19:40,674 --> 00:19:44,754
Coming up towards the home turn,
Phar Lap, rider having great troubIe,
301
00:19:44,754 --> 00:19:46,274
and Exact has kicked away -
302
00:19:46,274 --> 00:19:48,714
about four to five Iengths
in front of Cabaret GirI,
303
00:19:48,714 --> 00:19:51,554
who's starting to make up ground,
with Memento on the inside.
304
00:19:51,554 --> 00:19:55,234
And Phar Lap Iooks as if he is
going to hit the outside fence.
305
00:19:55,234 --> 00:19:57,514
As they straighten up for
the run to the judge now
306

With haIf a furIong

310
00:20:06,834 --> 00:20:08,674
and Exact is going to win easiIy

00:20:08,674 --> 00:20:10,674
about two Iengths

312
00:20:10,674 --> 00:20:14,434
Memento third, a Iong distance then
to Busham from Rose FIight,
313
00:20:14,434 --> 00:20:16,106
and Phar Lap ran Iast.
314
00:20:28,194 --> 00:20:30,994
Do you Iike it?
Here, Iisten to this.
315
00:20:30,994 --> 00:20:33,554
(Reads ) ``The big 2-year-oId Phar Lad. . .''
316
00:20:33,554 --> 00:20:35,154
They can't even get
the horse's name right.
317
00:20:35,154 --> 00:20:38,594
``..enhanced his reputation
for consistency
318
00:20:38,594 --> 00:20:40,744
``by finishing Iast yet again.''
319
00:20:42,714 --> 00:20:45,023
He's a reaI smart guy,
this Bert WoIfe, huh?
320
00:20:48,674 --> 00:20:50,107
Oh, I'm sorry, sweetheart.
321
00:20:52,394 --> 00:20:53,349
Gorgeous.
322
00:20:53,634 --> 00:20:54,828
There's a boy.
323
00:20:56,234 --> 00:20:58,873
Go on, Iet me get on
with it. Go on.
324
00:21:18,074 --> 00:21:19,507
AIright, up we go.
325
00:21:24,474 --> 00:21:25,474
Tommy.
326
00:21:25,474 --> 00:21:28,274
You can take Phar Lap
out this morning.
327
00:21:28,274 --> 00:21:30,026
I'm taking young Cappy
for a ride on SaIIy.
328
00:21:31,394 --> 00:21:32,827
And work him hard.
329
00:21:36,754 --> 00:21:38,585
How's Lightning, Tommy?
Good.
330
00:21:40,194 --> 00:21:42,594
Harry given up on him, has he?
Yeah, he's stiII in bed.
331
00:21:42,594 --> 00:21:44,074
( AII Iaugh )
332
00:21:44,074 --> 00:21:46,110
You better hang onto him,
he might take off.
333
00:21:47,874 --> 00:21:50,834
I wanna try something different
this morning, Cashy.
334
00:21:50,834 --> 00:21:54,834
I'II hoId Bobby back then see if
I can get him to go out after you.
335
00:21:54,834 --> 00:21:57,594
What's the sense of that?
We'II just try it.
336
00:21:57,594 --> 00:21:59,027
He's gotta Iearn to be a winner.
337
00:22:33,154 --> 00:22:34,634
After him now!
338
00:22:34,634 --> 00:22:36,067
Don't Iet him get away.
339
00:22:43,674 --> 00:22:44,629
Yes!
340
00:23:03,314 --> 00:23:04,747
Whoo!
341
00:23:09,034 --> 00:23:11,034
You beauty.
342
00:23:11,034 --> 00:23:12,467
Good on you, mate.
343
00:23:14,794 --> 00:23:17,262
AIright, Cashy, Iet's try that again.
344
00:24:12,754 --> 00:24:14,754
Off with your cap.
345
00:24:14,754 --> 00:24:16,754
That's a good feIIa.
346
00:24:16,754 --> 00:24:18,474
Yeah. Up we go.
347
00:24:18,474 --> 00:24:20,274
Did he Iike it?
348
00:24:20,274 --> 00:24:22,114
Yeah, he's a reguIar
IittIe horseman here.
349
00:24:22,114 --> 00:24:24,034
Did Daddy take you
on the big horsey?
350
00:24:24,034 --> 00:24:26,394
Yeah.
(Laughs ) I bet you're hungry.
351
00:24:26,394 --> 00:24:28,954
(Laughs )
Are you hungry? Mmm.
352
00:24:28,954 --> 00:24:30,714
We'II take your shoes and socks off.
353
00:24:30,714 --> 00:24:32,352
What's aII this?
354
00:24:33,994 --> 00:24:35,746
I thought I toId you
to stop aII that.
355
00:24:36,794 --> 00:24:38,274
We needed the money.
356
00:24:38,274 --> 00:24:42,062
WeII, send 'em back. We can manage
without you being a servant.
357
00:24:44,074 --> 00:24:45,951
How, Harry?
We can MANAGE.
358
00:24:56,154 --> 00:24:58,349
Harry, I'm sick to death of
struggIing for every penny.
359
00:25:01,194 --> 00:25:04,794
I won't have you taking
in Iaundry. We'II manage.
360
00:25:04,794 --> 00:25:06,705
How - Phar Lap?
361
00:25:07,834 --> 00:25:11,747
He'II come good. He's got Carbine
on both sides of his bIood Iine.
362
00:25:13,714 --> 00:25:15,227
Harry, peopIe are Iaughing at you.
363
00:25:16,674 --> 00:25:18,153
He's hopeIess. He's a dud.
364
00:25:46,754 --> 00:25:49,434
That's right - he's fIying, Mr Davis.
365
00:25:49,434 --> 00:25:51,794
Yeah, I aIways knew he'd come good.
366
00:25:51,794 --> 00:25:53,794
Just needed a Iot of
hard work put into him.
367
00:25:53,794 --> 00:25:57,343
I've knocked that Iazy streak
out of him at Iast.
368
00:25:58,434 --> 00:26:00,634
No, no, you wait tiII
you see him next time.
369
00:26:00,634 --> 00:26:02,114
(Men Iaugh )
370
00:26:02,114 --> 00:26:04,714
MAN: The first race I ever rode
was on one of Reg's horses.
371
00:26:04,714 --> 00:26:07,114
``Do you reckon I got a chance?''
I said. ``Yeah,'' he said.
372
00:26:07,114 --> 00:26:09,434
``The five other jockeys have
backed you for a fortune.''
373
00:26:09,434 --> 00:26:10,389
(Men Iaugh )
374
00:26:11,434 --> 00:26:13,954
CouId I have a word
with you in private, Jim?
375
00:26:13,954 --> 00:26:15,754
You can taIk in front
of these bIokes, Harry.
376
00:26:15,754 --> 00:26:18,794
If they hear it direct
they can't spread any rumours.
377
00:26:18,794 --> 00:26:20,874
I've got a good horse
for you, for the Derby.
378
00:26:20,874 --> 00:26:23,674
Yeah? Who?
Phar Lap.
379
00:26:23,674 --> 00:26:25,474
I reckon I'm fixed up
for the Derby, Harry.
380
00:26:25,474 --> 00:26:26,907
But I'II keep it in mind.
381
00:26:32,834 --> 00:26:34,665
Phar Lap - he's gotta be joking.
382
00:26:58,714 --> 00:27:03,714
DAVIS: Harry, the best horses in the
country are entered into the Derby.
383
00:27:03,714 --> 00:27:05,954
Now, I know you're convinced
the horse has improved,
384
00:27:05,954 --> 00:27:08,114
but, Harry, for Christ's sake,
we're taIking about the Derby.
385
00:27:08,114 --> 00:27:10,154
I'II be back in a second, honey. Sorry.
386
00:27:10,154 --> 00:27:12,514
I'm hoping to get Jim Pike.
387
00:27:12,514 --> 00:27:14,194
Jim Pike?
388
00:27:14,194 --> 00:27:15,994
Now I know you're dreaming.
389
00:27:15,994 --> 00:27:18,474
Why wouId Jim Pike
wanna ride Phar Lap?
390
00:27:18,474 --> 00:27:20,434
Huh?
He said he'd keep him in mind.
391
00:27:20,434 --> 00:27:21,867
Come on, he was being poIite.
392
00:27:22,954 --> 00:27:25,714
Look, Harry, you wanna
enter him, you enter him.
393
00:27:25,714 --> 00:27:28,831
But you make sure you do it
under your name. . . not mine.
394
00:27:29,994 --> 00:27:31,474
I'm not gonna be humiIiated
395
00:27:31,474 --> 00:27:34,074
in front of aII the top owners
in this country, beIieve me.
396
00:27:34,074 --> 00:27:35,553
I need 30 quid to enter him.
397
00:27:36,994 --> 00:27:38,427
Oh, boy.
398
00:27:39,514 --> 00:27:41,754
You wanna enter him,
you find the money.
399
00:27:41,754 --> 00:27:43,914
That was part of our deaI, right?
400
00:27:43,914 --> 00:27:45,347
I tried.
401
00:27:46,874 --> 00:27:49,149
Then I'm in very good company
when I say no, hmm?
402
00:27:56,514 --> 00:27:57,947
Harry. . .
403
00:28:00,634 --> 00:28:02,914
..aIright, you can have the money.
404
00:28:02,914 --> 00:28:04,994
On two conditions -
405
00:28:04,994 --> 00:28:06,950
one, you don't use my name. . .
406
00:28:08,354 --> 00:28:11,869
..and two, if that horse doesn't
race weII this time we seII him.
407
00:28:13,074 --> 00:28:15,754
Race weII? He's gotta win.
408
00:28:15,754 --> 00:28:18,666
I owe more than 300 quid
and I can't pay my rent.
409
00:28:59,354 --> 00:29:01,154
Pity Pike's Iost his mount.
410
00:29:01,154 --> 00:29:04,234
MasterfuI horseman -
compuIsive gambIer, though.
411
00:29:04,234 --> 00:29:06,634
Good Iuck in the Derby, Mr McKinnon.
412
00:29:06,634 --> 00:29:08,114
Oh, weII, thank you.
413
00:29:08,114 --> 00:29:10,114
We think we'II give you
a run for your money.
414
00:29:10,114 --> 00:29:12,434
You've got a horse
in the Derby, Mrs. . .er. . .
415
00:29:12,434 --> 00:29:15,154
Davis. My husband, David.
How do you do?
416
00:29:15,154 --> 00:29:16,587
Sir SamueI Hordern.
417
00:29:18,074 --> 00:29:20,907
Sir SamueI.
Yes, we have - Phar Lap.
418
00:29:22,274 --> 00:29:23,794
I don't beIieve I've heard of him.
419
00:29:23,794 --> 00:29:28,474
You probabIy wouIdn't. He,
er. . . he's just in for the run.
420
00:29:28,474 --> 00:29:30,074
And we think he'II win.
421
00:29:30,074 --> 00:29:32,834
And where did you get him?
New ZeaIand.
422
00:29:32,834 --> 00:29:35,754
For £ 1 68, quite a bargain.
423
00:29:35,754 --> 00:29:37,314
Isn't your horse a New ZeaIander?
424
00:29:37,314 --> 00:29:39,669
CarradaIe, yes, he is.
425
00:29:43,554 --> 00:29:45,474
Who in the bIazes were they?
426
00:29:45,474 --> 00:29:48,114
Pushy IittIe Jew. SeIIs dinnerware.
427
00:29:48,114 --> 00:29:49,914
Door to door.
428
00:29:49,914 --> 00:29:53,074
Knows nothing about horses.
He's not a member, is he?
429
00:29:53,074 --> 00:29:55,314
Hard to keep them out these days.
430
00:29:55,314 --> 00:29:57,074
Handsome woman, though.
431
00:29:57,074 --> 00:29:59,394
Did you have to do that?
What?
432
00:29:59,394 --> 00:30:01,634
McKinnon practicaIIy runs
racing in this country.
433
00:30:01,634 --> 00:30:04,714
Did you have to teII him
what Phar Lap cost?
434
00:30:04,714 --> 00:30:06,989
He paid 1 0 times that much
for CarradaIe.
435
00:30:38,154 --> 00:30:40,074
Mrs Davis.
436
00:30:40,074 --> 00:30:41,507
What do you think, Tommy?
437
00:30:42,834 --> 00:30:44,914
There's some good horses
out there today, Mrs Davis.
438
00:30:44,914 --> 00:30:47,667
My husband wiII teII me I'm a fooI,
but I'm gonna back him anyway.
439
00:30:50,674 --> 00:30:53,268
Does Mr TeIford aIways
get that nervous?
440
00:30:57,114 --> 00:31:00,434
If Bobby doesn't win today,
he's finished.
441
00:31:00,434 --> 00:31:01,867
Suppose I am too.
442
00:31:28,354 --> 00:31:30,234
I've been Iooking for you, Harry.
443
00:31:30,234 --> 00:31:32,034
My horse for the Derby's
been scratched.
444
00:31:32,034 --> 00:31:33,514
FIies when he's fit,
445
00:31:33,514 --> 00:31:36,354
but if there's a germ between
here and Perth he'II pick it up.
446
00:31:36,354 --> 00:31:37,912
WouId you Iike me to ride Phar Lap?

00:31:45,354 --> 00:31:47,434
£20?
448
00:31:47,434 --> 00:31:49,434
You bet £20. . . ?
449
00:31:49,434 --> 00:31:51,194
Bea, you're crazy, you know that?
450
00:31:51,194 --> 00:31:52,914
Why? Why did you do that?
451
00:31:52,914 --> 00:31:54,874
I just feIt Iucky.

of the best to begin

a Iength and a haIf

Honour is next, over on the raiIs.

They were foIIowed further back

Go!

00:33:02,034 --> 00:33:03,754
Here's Phar Lap going
around them quickIy now
480
00:33:03,754 --> 00:33:05,234

CarradaIe and Phar Lap,

00:34:32,754 --> 00:34:33,994
..Davis.
508
00:34:33,994 --> 00:34:35,914
Promising horse.
509
00:34:35,914 --> 00:34:38,674
It wiII be interesting
to see how he performs
510
00:34:38,674 --> 00:34:40,426
when he gets a decent
weight on his back.
511
00:34:46,794 --> 00:34:49,314
Davis?
Yes?
512
00:34:49,314 --> 00:34:52,114
Ah. . .gentIemen.
513
00:34:52,114 --> 00:34:55,154
Is it true you've aIways thought
the horse wasn't any good?
514
00:34:55,154 --> 00:34:56,634
( Stammers ) Er, no.
515
00:34:56,634 --> 00:34:58,714
Who toId you that?
516
00:34:58,714 --> 00:35:01,394
It's a story going around.
WeII, there's no truth to it.
517
00:35:01,394 --> 00:35:04,474
I've had utter faith in this
horse from the very beginning.
518
00:35:04,474 --> 00:35:06,351
Then why did you Iease him
to Harry TeIford?
519
00:35:08,114 --> 00:35:10,154
Oh, because Mr TeIford
found the horse
520
00:35:10,154 --> 00:35:11,754
and I thought it was onIy fair.
521
00:35:11,754 --> 00:35:16,234
Now, I want to make it cIear that
I've had absoIute faith in this horse
522
00:35:16,234 --> 00:35:19,674
from the very first moment
I Iaid eyes upon him.
523
00:35:19,674 --> 00:35:22,114
I suppose you had a
Iot of money on him, then.
524
00:35:22,114 --> 00:35:24,025
WeII, er. . .
We did quite weII.
525
00:35:25,114 --> 00:35:26,594
Thank you.
526
00:35:26,594 --> 00:35:30,382
VI: £ 7,1 35.
527
00:35:32,074 --> 00:35:34,030
WeII, a third of it
has to go to Davis.
528
00:35:35,434 --> 00:35:38,274
Oh, Harry, Iet's put it
into something safe.
529
00:35:38,274 --> 00:35:40,074
Your brother reckons
we shouId buy a property.
530
00:35:40,074 --> 00:35:42,030
( Scoffs ) I can't raise sheep.
531
00:35:44,074 --> 00:35:46,954
You said it yourseIf a dozen times -
that training's a rotten Iife.
532
00:35:46,954 --> 00:35:48,474
Oh, yeah, weII, it is.
533
00:35:48,474 --> 00:35:51,834
When you've just got a few
hacks stuck in rented stabIes.
534
00:35:51,834 --> 00:35:55,514
I'm gonna have my own pIace now,
Iove, and run things my way.
535
00:35:55,514 --> 00:35:58,674
And Cappy and I wiII see even
Iess of you than we do now.
536
00:35:58,674 --> 00:36:00,714
WeII, what do you think
it's Iike for us, Harry?
537
00:36:00,714 --> 00:36:02,194
You're up at 3:30 every morning
538
00:36:02,194 --> 00:36:03,994
and by the afternoon
you're dead on your feet.
539
00:36:03,994 --> 00:36:05,474
What do you expect me to do -
540
00:36:05,474 --> 00:36:07,908
sIink back to the bush just
when I finaIIy get my chance?
541
00:36:15,314 --> 00:36:16,747
Sorry, Iove.
542
00:36:20,474 --> 00:36:24,262
Look. . . Phar Lap wasn't
a fIuke, you know.
543
00:36:25,594 --> 00:36:27,754
I picked him from the bIood Iines
544
00:36:27,754 --> 00:36:29,234
and I persevered with him
545
00:36:29,234 --> 00:36:30,792
whiIe every other trainer
was Iaughing at me.
546
00:36:32,754 --> 00:36:34,187
No-one's Iaughing now.
547
00:36:35,474 --> 00:36:37,714
You've proved your point.
548
00:36:37,714 --> 00:36:39,147
Hmm.
549
00:36:41,714 --> 00:36:43,147
I haven't even begun.
550
00:36:45,674 --> 00:36:47,994
I know more about
bIood Iines and training
551
00:36:47,994 --> 00:36:49,586
than any other bastard
in this country.
552
00:36:51,354 --> 00:36:52,787
And by the time I've finished. . .
553
00:36:54,434 --> 00:36:56,470
..they'II aII know it.
554
00:36:58,754 --> 00:37:01,188
RACE CALLER: And the big red,
Phar Lap, has burst away.
555
00:37:06,714 --> 00:37:09,314
But now here comes the big red
down the centre of the track -
556
00:37:09,314 --> 00:37:11,674
Phar Lap, he's starting
to storm home out wide.
557
00:37:11,674 --> 00:37:13,914
Phar Lap races up
and goes to the Iead,
558
00:37:13,914 --> 00:37:16,189
and it's another effortIess
victory for Phar Lap.
559
00:37:19,914 --> 00:37:21,714
MAN ON RADIO: The WaII Street
stock market crash
560
00:37:21,714 --> 00:37:23,874
has caused a crisis
in the American economy.
561
00:37:23,874 --> 00:37:28,470
The 3-year-oId racehorse Phar Lap
continues his run of good Iuck.
562
00:37:31,834 --> 00:37:33,434
PIKE: The best I ever rode.
563
00:37:33,434 --> 00:37:36,034
In fact, I don't think
there ever was his equaI.
564
00:37:36,034 --> 00:37:38,074
CertainIy not during my time.
565
00:37:38,074 --> 00:37:40,114
RACE CALLER: Phar Lap is dashing
weII cIear of the opposition.
566
00:37:40,114 --> 00:37:42,314
He's racing away,
nothing can catch him.
567
00:37:42,314 --> 00:37:44,191
And don't the Victorian
crowd Iove it?
568
00:37:57,874 --> 00:37:59,954
MAN: I've got nothing against
TeIford or even Davis.
569
00:37:59,954 --> 00:38:03,074
But Iet's face it - they're not
going to put any time and effort
570
00:38:03,074 --> 00:38:04,674
back into the sport
Iike we're doing.
571
00:38:04,674 --> 00:38:06,234
ExactIy.
572
00:38:06,234 --> 00:38:08,314
They've just happened on a horse
with very indifferent breeding
573
00:38:08,314 --> 00:38:10,754
and a freakish turn of speed.
574
00:38:10,754 --> 00:38:12,506
And they're entering him
in everything for the money.
575
00:38:14,354 --> 00:38:16,993
MAN: Phar Lap, most sensationaI
AustraIian gaIIoper of aII time.
576
00:38:20,074 --> 00:38:23,714
Record-breaking streak -
four wins and £ 4,000 in a fortnight.
577
00:38:23,714 --> 00:38:25,914
MAN 2: This has been an
amazing week for Phar Lap.
578
00:38:25,914 --> 00:38:29,514
He's been entered in three
major VRC races and won the Iot.
579
00:38:29,514 --> 00:38:30,994
What a horse!
580
00:38:30,994 --> 00:38:33,114
MAN 3: Pike says it's
Phar Lap's phenomenaI speed
581
00:38:33,114 --> 00:38:35,867
that makes him so superior
to aII other horses.
582
00:38:36,994 --> 00:38:39,274
MAN: They just happen to
be kiIIing horseracing.
583
00:38:39,274 --> 00:38:40,754
A Iot of my friends are saying
584
00:38:40,754 --> 00:38:42,994
it's not worth putting
their horses against Phar Lap.
585
00:38:42,994 --> 00:38:44,634
And the bookmakers won't take bets.
586
00:38:44,634 --> 00:38:47,273
WeII, the way TeIford's
overracing and overtraining him. . .
587
00:38:48,514 --> 00:38:50,470
..he can't have too many
more wins Ieft in him.
588
00:38:51,754 --> 00:38:54,914
RACE CALLER: It's Phar Lap. Pike's
Ietting the champion have his head.
589
00:38:54,914 --> 00:38:58,509
He's racing away. Nothing
can stop the `Red Terror'.
590
00:39:02,034 --> 00:39:03,467
Kick him aIong! Come on!
591
00:39:06,034 --> 00:39:07,954
NEWSREEL: He's sureIy
a horse and a haIf.
592
00:39:07,954 --> 00:39:11,074
The Red Terror - here
he is in action again,
593
00:39:11,074 --> 00:39:12,874
onIy cantering this time.
594
00:39:12,874 --> 00:39:15,674
Our cameraman is racing after him,
but he's getting away.
595
00:39:15,674 --> 00:39:18,034
After him, MaIcoIm CampbeII,
or you'II Iose him!
596
00:39:18,034 --> 00:39:21,914
The sand roII, and
how Phar Lap enjoys it.
597
00:39:21,914 --> 00:39:25,594
``RoIIs the wriggIes out,'' he teIIs
the stabIeboy, young Tommy Woodcock.
598
00:39:25,594 --> 00:39:28,825
``Come here, sir, I want
my sugar. I've earned it.''
599
00:39:30,034 --> 00:39:31,467
Oh, what a horse!
600
00:39:33,234 --> 00:39:34,714
Back to work, go on.
601
00:39:34,714 --> 00:39:36,272
Come on, get that
contraption out of here.
602
00:39:43,674 --> 00:39:45,994
Harry. . .
603
00:39:45,994 --> 00:39:47,874
..this is Eric ConnoIIy.
604
00:39:47,874 --> 00:39:49,546
Harry.
I know.
605
00:39:53,874 --> 00:39:56,274
Ah. . .
606
00:39:56,274 --> 00:39:58,554
..Harry. . .
607
00:39:58,554 --> 00:40:01,194
..Eric's been kind enough
to offer some suggestions
608
00:40:01,194 --> 00:40:03,274
about managing Phar Lap's career.
609
00:40:03,274 --> 00:40:05,274
(Laughs )
610
00:40:05,274 --> 00:40:07,194
I'II bet he has.
611
00:40:07,194 --> 00:40:09,913
Which races the horse is aIIowed
to win and which ones he's not.
612
00:40:11,514 --> 00:40:12,947
Stake money, Harry. . .
613
00:40:14,034 --> 00:40:15,714
..peanuts.
614
00:40:15,714 --> 00:40:18,148
Compared with what you couId make
with a few weII-pIaced bets.
615
00:40:20,114 --> 00:40:23,394
When I train horses, ConnoIIy,
I train them to win.
616
00:40:23,394 --> 00:40:26,192
PuIIing horses is not in my Iine.
617
00:40:32,474 --> 00:40:34,034
Do you understand that we couId make
618
00:40:34,034 --> 00:40:35,954
an extraordinary amount
of money here?
619
00:40:35,954 --> 00:40:38,194
I'm doing aIright.
But I'm not.
620
00:40:38,194 --> 00:40:41,074
WeII, that's your probIem.
Now get outta here!
621
00:40:41,074 --> 00:40:42,507
I've got work to do.
622
00:40:55,874 --> 00:40:57,354
What's wrong with you?
623
00:40:57,354 --> 00:40:59,994
He's being worked too hard, boss.
624
00:40:59,994 --> 00:41:01,794
Are you teIIing me
I don't know my job?
625
00:41:01,794 --> 00:41:03,434
He's worn out.
626
00:41:03,434 --> 00:41:04,914
Then how come he's stiII winning?
627
00:41:04,914 --> 00:41:07,554
He'd win if he was haIf-dead.
628
00:41:07,554 --> 00:41:10,546
If you keep him racing and training
Iike this you'II burn him out.
629
00:41:11,914 --> 00:41:13,474
You know your troubIe, sonny?
630
00:41:13,474 --> 00:41:15,954
You think horses are human.
631
00:41:15,954 --> 00:41:17,554
WeII, I've been around
Iong enough to know
632
00:41:17,554 --> 00:41:19,034
that if you treat 'em too soft
633
00:41:19,034 --> 00:41:20,634
they'II take advantage
of you every time.
634
00:41:20,634 --> 00:41:23,194
Now, if you want to come
with me and your beIoved Bobby
635
00:41:23,194 --> 00:41:24,834
when we go to MeIbourne
636
00:41:24,834 --> 00:41:26,984
you just better button your Iip
and do what you're toId.
637
00:41:28,834 --> 00:41:30,994
And I'II top-dress aII the paddocks.
638
00:41:30,994 --> 00:41:33,754
We'II have grass greener
than you've ever seen it.
639
00:41:33,754 --> 00:41:38,194
The marshes over there, fuII
of birds - snipe, everything.
640
00:41:38,194 --> 00:41:39,627
Do you Iike it?
641
00:41:40,674 --> 00:41:43,114
It couId do with a
few more trees over here.
642
00:41:43,114 --> 00:41:45,114
WeII, we'II pIant them. (Laughs )
643
00:41:45,114 --> 00:41:47,834
As many as you want.
Trees everywhere.
644
00:41:47,834 --> 00:41:50,674
We'II have space
aII around us at Iast.
645
00:41:50,674 --> 00:41:53,634
I stiII don't understand why
we couIdn't find a pIace near Sydney.
646
00:41:53,634 --> 00:41:58,474
I toId you a hundred times -
MeIbourne is the racing capitaI.
647
00:41:58,474 --> 00:42:02,954
The big owners are here,
the big races. The big crowds.
648
00:42:02,954 --> 00:42:04,554
Now, if you're going
to make your mark,
649
00:42:04,554 --> 00:42:06,274
this is the pIace you have to be.
650
00:42:06,274 --> 00:42:08,634
I'II just miss my friends.
WeII, we'II make new ones.
651
00:42:08,634 --> 00:42:11,634
Good God, woman, when this pIace
is set up it wiII be Iike paradise.
652
00:42:11,634 --> 00:42:14,954
You'II have to beat the
visitors off with a stick.
653
00:42:14,954 --> 00:42:17,707
Look, we're going to have
a racetrack over here.
654
00:42:18,794 --> 00:42:20,546
ReaIIy make something
of that wreck of a house.
655
00:42:22,114 --> 00:42:24,914
Can we have a bit of a garden?
Yeah - roses and everything.
656
00:42:24,914 --> 00:42:26,714
Swings and sIides for Cappy.
657
00:42:26,714 --> 00:42:28,194
It's hard to imagine.
658
00:42:28,194 --> 00:42:30,549
As Iong as we're not
getting in too deep.
659
00:42:33,354 --> 00:42:34,834
I've worked on a
shoestring Iong enough
660
00:42:34,834 --> 00:42:37,871
to know the onIy way to make
it in this game is do it big.
661
00:42:38,914 --> 00:42:41,194
Now, you buy your yearIings,
you train 'em hard,
662
00:42:41,194 --> 00:42:44,394
and if they don't shape up you get
rid of 'em and bring in some more.
663
00:42:44,394 --> 00:42:45,827
SoI's no fooI.
664
00:42:47,154 --> 00:42:49,304
He wouIdn't be Iending me money
if there was any risk.
665
00:42:50,634 --> 00:42:53,910
Every champion for the next 20 years
is going to come out of this pIace.
666
00:42:58,794 --> 00:43:00,994
Are you going to go down
to MeIbourne with TeIford?
667
00:43:00,994 --> 00:43:03,234
I suppose.
668
00:43:03,234 --> 00:43:04,834
He's treated you pretty rotten.
669
00:43:04,834 --> 00:43:07,394

(Laughs ) Harry, you've counted
the six in the thousands coIumn

instead of the hundreds.

DAVIS: Amounis and Phar Lap
706
00:45:40,914 --> 00:45:42,914
are the two best horses
in the country, right?
707
00:45:42,914 --> 00:45:48,594
Now, if they both race in the
CauIfieId Cup - no offence, May -
708
00:45:48,594 --> 00:45:52,954
but Phar Lap's gonna come
in first and Amounis second.
709
00:45:52,954 --> 00:45:56,274
And if they both race
in the MeIbourne Cup,
710
00:45:56,274 --> 00:45:58,594
the same thing's gonna happen, OK?
711
00:45:58,594 --> 00:46:03,874
Now, Bea, if you were a bookmaker
and I wanted to Iay a bet with you
712
00:46:03,874 --> 00:46:07,594
that Phar Lap wouId win both cups,
what kind of odds wouId you give me?
713
00:46:07,594 --> 00:46:10,154
Very short odds.
Right.
714
00:46:10,154 --> 00:46:15,834
Now, if I wanted to Iay a bet that
Amounis wouId win the CauIfieId
715
00:46:15,834 --> 00:46:19,554
and Phar Lap the MeIbourne, then what
kind of odds wouId you give me?
716
00:46:19,554 --> 00:46:22,314
Much better odds.
Amounis won't beat Phar Lap.
717
00:46:22,314 --> 00:46:24,154
ExactIy.
718
00:46:24,154 --> 00:46:26,554
So we put the money on the
Amounis-Phar Lap doubIe,
719
00:46:26,554 --> 00:46:28,034
now at what, Eric?
720
00:46:28,034 --> 00:46:29,394
20, 30 to 1 .
721
00:46:29,394 --> 00:46:35,154

scratch Phar Lap from the CauIfieId
722

and make a fortune.
723

the money on, Eric?

before they know what's hit 'em.
726
00:46:47,234 --> 00:46:48,714
Of course, we onIy have one probIem -
727
00:46:48,714 --> 00:46:51,194
convincing Harry to puII
Phar Lap out of the CauIfieId.
728
00:46:51,194 --> 00:46:53,071
Give him a share of the winnings.

We don't have time to argue now, we
gotta get this horse somewhere safe.
832
00:55:22,474 --> 00:55:25,074
Fast, before they try again.
Is he aIright?
833
00:55:25,074 --> 00:55:26,554
You better get him
somewhere safe too.

835
00:55:27,554 --> 00:55:29,954
If they can't shoot the horse,
they might try to shoot you.

Have you got somepIace safe?

You come with me. Let's go.

forged out of the wiIderness

by men who knew the vaIue of
their horses and their dogs.
851

For an AustraIian to
shoot at a thoroughbred
852
00:56:05,714 --> 00:56:07,147
is aImost unthinkabIe.
853
00:56:08,194 --> 00:56:12,346
In my books, this is a day
of profound nationaI shame.
854

Ieaving this room for anything.

Mrs Davis.
Oh, pIease, sit down.
997
01:10:11,194 --> 01:10:12,994
How does it feeI to be a weaIthy man?
998
01:10:12,994 --> 01:10:15,074
I reckon I shouId give some back.
999
01:10:15,074 --> 01:10:17,434
Back? I came over
to give you some more.
1000
01:10:17,434 --> 01:10:18,914
Oh, Mrs Davis, no. . .
1001
01:10:18,914 --> 01:10:20,434
Dave won a fortune today.
1002
01:10:20,434 --> 01:10:21,914
Thanks.
1003
01:10:21,914 --> 01:10:23,474
What are you gonna do with it?
1004
01:10:23,474 --> 01:10:25,226
Gawd, I don't know.
1005
01:10:26,394 --> 01:10:28,714
Isn't there a girI
in Sydney you're fond of?
1006
01:10:28,714 --> 01:10:30,194
Emma?
1007
01:10:30,194 --> 01:10:32,230
I've onIy taken her out once or twice.
1008
01:10:33,274 --> 01:10:34,754
Do you write to her?
1009
01:10:34,754 --> 01:10:36,314
I've sent her a postcard or two.
1010
01:10:36,314 --> 01:10:38,034
Is she pretty?
1011
01:10:38,034 --> 01:10:41,834
Too right! I reckon if she was
in America, she couId be in fiIms!
1012
01:10:41,834 --> 01:10:43,354
Oh, as pretty as that.
1013
01:10:43,354 --> 01:10:45,034
Yeah. You ask Cashy.
1014
01:10:45,034 --> 01:10:48,154
And aII those stars have got
make-up and everything to heIp 'em.
1015
01:10:48,154 --> 01:10:50,434
She Iooks just as good
as they do without it.
1016
01:10:50,434 --> 01:10:51,947
Have you toId her that?
1017
01:10:53,954 --> 01:10:55,434
WouIdn't be game.
1018
01:10:55,434 --> 01:10:56,914
Why not?
1019
01:10:56,914 --> 01:10:59,348
You'd make a reaI diII of yourseIf.
1020
01:11:01,154 --> 01:11:03,074
Sometimes I wonder
how AustraIian men
1021
01:11:03,074 --> 01:11:04,994
ever manage to find themseIves wives.
1022
01:11:04,994 --> 01:11:07,792
Go up to Sydney and see her, Tommy.
1023
01:11:14,394 --> 01:11:16,794
I want you to know
that whatever differences
1024
01:11:16,794 --> 01:11:19,474
you and I have had
personaIIy through the years,
1025
01:11:19,474 --> 01:11:22,434
I have never, ever doubted
your abiIity as a trainer.
1026
01:11:22,434 --> 01:11:25,154
And when your Iease
on Phar Lap is up,
1027
01:11:25,154 --> 01:11:27,588
I stiII want you
to stay on and train him.
1028
01:11:29,394 --> 01:11:31,271
You're not gonna offer me a share?
1029
01:11:32,314 --> 01:11:35,874
Sure. You'II get your training
fees pIus 1 0% of his winnings.
1030
01:11:35,874 --> 01:11:38,674
But I found that horse.
I made him a champion.
1031
01:11:38,674 --> 01:11:42,554
And you've aIso had him for 3 years
and won yourseIf a MeIbourne Cup.
1032
01:11:42,554 --> 01:11:47,105
You give me 50% of him
or find some other trainer.
1033
01:11:48,954 --> 01:11:50,434
Don't threaten me, TeIford.
1034
01:11:50,434 --> 01:11:53,710
There are pIenty of other
good trainers around.
1035
01:11:55,914 --> 01:11:59,270
WeII, you find one who'II make
him win as often as I do.
1036
01:12:03,674 --> 01:12:05,594
Stubborn bastard.
1037
01:12:05,594 --> 01:12:07,312
Who?
Harry.
1038
01:12:08,354 --> 01:12:10,868
He wants a haIf-share on the horse.
Can you beIieve it?
1039
01:12:12,114 --> 01:12:13,547
As if it was his right!
1040
01:12:14,594 --> 01:12:16,874
He's done very weII
with the horse, Dave.
1041
01:12:16,874 --> 01:12:19,314
So? You think he's entitIed
to a haIf-share?
1042
01:12:19,314 --> 01:12:22,545
WeII, peopIe wiII think you're being
pretty unfair if you don't offer.
1043
01:12:23,754 --> 01:12:25,551
What the heII do I care
what peopIe think?
1044
01:12:26,634 --> 01:12:28,834
Where were aII these peopIe
when I was 1 1 years oId
1045
01:12:28,834 --> 01:12:30,314
and waIked haIfway across Europe?
1046
01:12:30,314 --> 01:12:32,032
Nobody Iifted a goddamn
finger to heIp me.
1047
01:12:33,314 --> 01:12:34,747
Huh?
1048
01:12:36,234 --> 01:12:38,114
WouId it be wise to change trainers?
1049
01:12:38,114 --> 01:12:40,184
Harry's had a Iot of success.
1050
01:12:41,874 --> 01:12:43,394
AIright, I'II offer him haIf share,
1051
01:12:43,394 --> 01:12:45,194
but he's gonna pay me
good money for it,
1052
01:12:45,194 --> 01:12:46,627
whether he Iikes it or not.
1053
01:12:54,434 --> 01:12:55,914
Boss?
1054
01:12:55,914 --> 01:12:57,347
Yeah?
1055
01:13:00,234 --> 01:13:02,987
That ointment you're using,
it's making his heeI worse.
1056
01:13:04,754 --> 01:13:06,187
I know what I'm doing.
1057
01:13:16,154 --> 01:13:17,906
Is he getting any better?
1058
01:13:20,874 --> 01:13:22,307
Worse.
1059
01:13:23,354 --> 01:13:25,549
WeII, what does this mean
in terms of the horse's future?
1060
01:13:26,794 --> 01:13:28,314
Mightn't have a future.
1061
01:13:28,314 --> 01:13:29,994
Wait a minute. Harry.
1062
01:13:29,994 --> 01:13:33,154
A cracked heeI can't stop
a horse from racing.
1063
01:13:33,154 --> 01:13:34,634
Can it?
1064
01:13:34,634 --> 01:13:36,114
I'm afraid so, Dave.
1065
01:13:36,114 --> 01:13:37,786
Happens aII the time.
1066
01:13:38,994 --> 01:13:42,430
A man wouId be a fooI to pay £20,000
for a share in the big feIIa now.
1067
01:13:48,954 --> 01:13:52,151
Don't you think £20,000 is a bit
too much to ask Harry to pay?
1068
01:13:53,194 --> 01:13:54,674
He didn't pay £20,000,
he paid £ 4,000.
1069
01:13:54,674 --> 01:13:55,954
What?
1070
01:13:55,954 --> 01:13:58,194
To teII you the truth,
I was Iucky to get that.
1071
01:13:58,194 --> 01:13:59,674
The horse is Iame.
1072
01:13:59,674 --> 01:14:02,234
CouId be washed up, finished.
1073
01:14:02,234 --> 01:14:03,713
Oh, Dave.
1074
01:14:04,794 --> 01:14:07,752
( Crowd chants ) Phar Lap, Phar Lap!
1075
01:14:09,154 --> 01:14:10,587
No future, huh?
1076
01:14:15,194 --> 01:14:16,674
Nothing can stop him.
1077
01:14:16,674 --> 01:14:18,514
Weight couId stop him.
1078
01:14:18,514 --> 01:14:20,630
Weight couId stop a train.
1079
01:14:50,154 --> 01:14:52,594
No Phar Lap! Phar Lap punts are off!
1080
01:14:52,594 --> 01:14:55,194
RACE CALLER: And now we see this
ridicuIous sight of the two horses.
1081
01:14:55,194 --> 01:14:57,994
Phar Lap and Chide.
Phar Lap is just so much better.
1082
01:14:57,994 --> 01:15:00,434
Chide is fIat out,
now Iet Phar Lap go
1083
01:15:00,434 --> 01:15:02,194
and it's IittIe more
than an exercise gaIIop.
1084
01:15:02,194 --> 01:15:03,627
And Phar Lap wins. . .
1085
01:15:06,434 --> 01:15:08,314
No more. You can cIose the bag.
1086
01:15:08,314 --> 01:15:10,594
No more bets, punters.
I've had enough of Phar Lap.
1087
01:15:10,594 --> 01:15:13,034
He's getting as much weight
as any other horse has ever got.
1088
01:15:13,034 --> 01:15:14,554
He's not any other horse.
1089
01:15:14,554 --> 01:15:17,910
He's a freak, and shouId
be weighted accordingIy.
1090
01:15:33,154 --> 01:15:35,154
RACE CALLER: The weight's making
no difference to Phar Lap.
1091
01:15:35,154 --> 01:15:36,754
He's drawn away for a great win.
1092
01:15:36,754 --> 01:15:39,029
He can't carry more weight, LachIan.
1093
01:15:40,074 --> 01:15:41,634
There'd be a huge outcry.
1094
01:15:41,634 --> 01:15:43,989
We're here to further
the interests of racing.
1095
01:15:47,674 --> 01:15:50,274
RACE CALLER: And the mighty
champion has forged to the Iead,
1096
01:15:50,274 --> 01:15:51,754
and despite his crushing weight,
1097
01:15:51,754 --> 01:15:53,506
Phar Lap is racing
on to a gaIIant win.
1098
01:16:01,634 --> 01:16:03,434
That run bIoody nearIy
kiIIed him today!
1099
01:16:03,434 --> 01:16:05,634
He's aIright.
He's not aIright, Harry.
1100
01:16:05,634 --> 01:16:07,314
I give you fair warning -
1101
01:16:07,314 --> 01:16:09,314
I've never had a horse
drop dead under me yet,
1102
01:16:09,314 --> 01:16:11,514
and I don't want the first
one to be Phar Lap.
1103
01:16:11,514 --> 01:16:12,994
Dave?
1104
01:16:12,994 --> 01:16:14,427
Yeah?
1105
01:16:16,994 --> 01:16:19,474
Dave, I'd Iike you
to meet Jim Crofton.
1106
01:16:19,474 --> 01:16:20,954
Jim.
Dave.
1107
01:16:20,954 --> 01:16:23,074
Quite a horse you got there.
Yeah, thanks.
1108
01:16:23,074 --> 01:16:25,274
He bareIy won by a whisker today.
1109
01:16:25,274 --> 01:16:28,474
It's a wonder he couId run at aII
with aII the weight they put on him.
1110
01:16:28,474 --> 01:16:30,634
If you want my candid opinion,
I think it's criminaI.
1111
01:16:30,634 --> 01:16:33,114
Jim runs the Agua CaIiente
Racecourse in Mexico.
1112
01:16:33,114 --> 01:16:34,594
Oh, yes. Yeah.
1113
01:16:34,594 --> 01:16:36,274
I'II IeveI with you, Dave.
1114
01:16:36,274 --> 01:16:38,074
We're organising a reaIIy
big race down there.
1115
01:16:38,074 --> 01:16:39,554
We want your horse.
1116
01:16:39,554 --> 01:16:41,863
We'II pay aII your expenses,
of course.
1117
01:16:43,074 --> 01:16:44,554
$1 00,000 stake.
1118
01:16:44,554 --> 01:16:46,704
Richest race in history.
1119
01:16:50,154 --> 01:16:52,314
He seemed to be struggIing
to win today.
1120
01:16:52,314 --> 01:16:55,674
Apart from aII the weight, he's got
a crook heeI and a bad coId.
1121
01:16:55,674 --> 01:16:57,674
Oh, Tommy.
1122
01:16:57,674 --> 01:17:00,194
(Tuts ) His puIse is stiII racing.
1123
01:17:00,194 --> 01:17:03,274
WeII, why did Mr TeIford enter
him if he's got a coId?
1124
01:17:03,274 --> 01:17:06,034
Oh, he enters him for everything
and trains him to death as weII!
1125
01:17:06,034 --> 01:17:07,554
Why?
1126
01:17:07,554 --> 01:17:09,351
He needs the money
to keep Braeside going.
1127
01:17:10,554 --> 01:17:12,074
He's pretty obsessed
with Braeside, isn't he?
1128
01:17:12,074 --> 01:17:13,554
Oh, he's mad!
1129
01:17:13,554 --> 01:17:15,154
He bought another
1 0 yearIings Iast week,
1130
01:17:15,154 --> 01:17:16,906
and none of them Iook
any good to me.
1131
01:17:17,954 --> 01:17:21,071
Don't worry about it.
I'II taIk to Dave.
1132
01:17:27,394 --> 01:17:29,354
I shouIdn't have said
anything, Mrs Davis.
1133
01:17:29,354 --> 01:17:31,185
I can understand how you feeI.
1134
01:17:33,794 --> 01:17:36,991
You'II be right, Red. You'II be right.
1135
01:17:39,554 --> 01:17:41,074
Did you ever go and see Emma?
1136
01:17:41,074 --> 01:17:44,434
No. Heard she was going
around with another bIoke.
1137
01:17:44,434 --> 01:17:46,994
Oh, Tommy, you can't
give in Iike that.
1138
01:17:46,994 --> 01:17:50,354
Go and see her - and make
your intentions cIear.
1139
01:17:50,354 --> 01:17:52,822
Go on. Propose.
1140
01:17:53,874 --> 01:17:56,707
Yeah. Reckon I might.
1141
01:18:24,034 --> 01:18:25,514
G'day, Emma.
1142
01:18:25,514 --> 01:18:28,426
Tommy! What are you doing up here?
1143
01:18:31,234 --> 01:18:33,111
I got a present for you.
1144
01:18:38,834 --> 01:18:40,474
I want you to marry me.
1145
01:18:40,474 --> 01:18:42,514
I don't know what to say.
1146
01:18:42,514 --> 01:18:44,869
Don't say anything. Put it on
your finger before you Iose it.
1147
01:18:46,234 --> 01:18:48,190
I thought you were never
gonna get round to it.
1148
01:18:55,674 --> 01:18:59,144
( CHURCH BELLS RING )
1149
01:19:08,234 --> 01:19:09,667
Nice big smiIe.
1150
01:19:14,474 --> 01:19:16,510
OK, mums and dads now, pIease.
1151
01:19:22,914 --> 01:19:25,554
Cashy, Ian, what are you
two doing up here?
1152
01:19:25,554 --> 01:19:27,154
Uh, the boss sent us up here, Tommy.
1153
01:19:27,154 --> 01:19:28,794
The big feIIa's fretting
and won't eat.
1154
01:19:28,794 --> 01:19:31,314
He says you gotta come
back straightaway. Now.
1155
01:19:31,314 --> 01:19:34,194
But. . .what about Emma?
What about the honeymoon?
1156
01:19:34,194 --> 01:19:35,994
There's no time, mate.
Bobby's reaI bad.
1157
01:19:35,994 --> 01:19:37,834
Come on, we've got a car
across the street.
1158
01:19:37,834 --> 01:19:39,267
Wait a minute.
1159
01:19:40,394 --> 01:19:41,827
I've gotta teII her.
1160
01:19:46,114 --> 01:19:48,234
You pair of bastards!
1161
01:19:48,234 --> 01:19:49,667
CongratuIations, mate. Good on ya.
1162
01:20:07,954 --> 01:20:09,914
WeII, that's the end of Phar Lap.
1163
01:20:09,914 --> 01:20:11,914
They've given him 1 0 stone 1 0
for the MeIbourne Cup.
1164
01:20:11,914 --> 01:20:13,514
What are they trying to do,
kiII him?
1165
01:20:13,514 --> 01:20:15,034
If they have to.
1166
01:20:15,034 --> 01:20:17,434
Has any horse ever carried that
much weight in a 2-miIe race?
1167
01:20:17,434 --> 01:20:18,914
Nowhere near it.
1168
01:20:18,914 --> 01:20:21,154
I'm a toIerant man,
Jack, as you know,
1169
01:20:21,154 --> 01:20:23,194
but finaIIy I'm forced
to the concIusion
1170
01:20:23,194 --> 01:20:25,867
that McKinnon and his cronies
are a pack of pricks.
1171
01:20:31,514 --> 01:20:33,434
Maybe Mr Davis won't Iet him run.
1172
01:20:33,434 --> 01:20:34,914
Yes, he wiII.
1173
01:20:34,914 --> 01:20:38,194
He wants the goId cup -
TeIford got it Iast year -
1174
01:20:38,194 --> 01:20:40,424
and he won't puII him out
because he needs the money.
1175
01:20:41,994 --> 01:20:44,474
Even the papers are saying
if he runs, it couId finish him.
1176
01:20:44,474 --> 01:20:45,954
They're right.
1177
01:20:45,954 --> 01:20:47,434
It'II kiII him.
1178
01:20:47,434 --> 01:20:49,231
Everyone says so.
1179
01:20:57,674 --> 01:21:00,634
TeIford's getting a stack of maiI
begging him to puII Bobby out.
1180
01:21:00,634 --> 01:21:03,034
You can bet your Iife
he won't take a bit of notice.
1181
01:21:03,034 --> 01:21:04,514
Keep on at him.
1182
01:21:04,514 --> 01:21:06,391
He just won't Iisten.
1183
01:21:07,714 --> 01:21:09,545
Then make him Iisten, Tommy.
1184
01:21:14,274 --> 01:21:17,114
Don't start again.
He's running and that's finaI.
1185
01:21:17,114 --> 01:21:18,594
You'II kiII him!
1186
01:21:18,594 --> 01:21:20,074
I'II kiII him? BuII!
1187
01:21:20,074 --> 01:21:21,554
That bIoody horse is kiIIing me.
1188
01:21:21,554 --> 01:21:25,434
Letters, phone caIIs, press,
teIegrams - cranks abuse me.
1189
01:21:25,434 --> 01:21:27,186
Never had a minute's
peace since I got him.
1190
01:21:28,234 --> 01:21:30,034
Don't you care what happens to him?
1191
01:21:30,034 --> 01:21:31,514
Nothing's gonna happen to him.
1192
01:21:31,514 --> 01:21:34,834
You're the one who's gonna have
to face your conscience if it does.
1193
01:21:34,834 --> 01:21:37,994
It's not just up to me.
Davis wants that cup.
1194
01:21:37,994 --> 01:21:39,666
He can forget about that.
1195
01:21:40,754 --> 01:21:42,904
Boss, you know there's
no way he'II win it.
1196
01:21:44,514 --> 01:21:46,354
Oh, you're probabIy right.
1197
01:21:46,354 --> 01:21:49,634
No horse couId win over
two miIes carrying that weight.
1198
01:21:49,634 --> 01:21:52,865
So, if Mr Davis agrees to scratch
him, wiII you go aIong with it?
1199
01:21:55,474 --> 01:21:56,954
I suppose I'II have to.
1200
01:21:56,954 --> 01:21:58,865
It's the onIy way
you'II give me any peace.
1201
01:22:03,034 --> 01:22:05,074
He won't win it, Mr Davis.
1202
01:22:05,074 --> 01:22:07,714
I don't understand why
you're so worried.
1203
01:22:07,714 --> 01:22:09,314
If there's too much weight on him,
1204
01:22:09,314 --> 01:22:11,114
it'II sIow him down
and he won't win, OK,
1205
01:22:11,114 --> 01:22:12,634
but you're taIking as though. . .
1206
01:22:12,634 --> 01:22:15,834
He'II bust a gut trying,
Mr Davis. ReaIIy.
1207
01:22:15,834 --> 01:22:17,314
I know him.
1208
01:22:17,314 --> 01:22:19,954
Kid, come on, you wanna do
me a favour? Cut the vioIins.
1209
01:22:19,954 --> 01:22:23,074
Mr Davis, why do you think
he got up Iast week,
1210
01:22:23,074 --> 01:22:25,034
when he was crook, and stiII won?
1211
01:22:25,034 --> 01:22:27,954
Why do you think Jim Pike's
never had to use the whip?
1212
01:22:27,954 --> 01:22:30,714
He was in a terribIe state
after the race, Dave.
1213
01:22:30,714 --> 01:22:32,864
He'd stiII try and win
if his Iegs were cut off.
1214
01:22:35,314 --> 01:22:37,874
Mr Davis, I know how much
you want to win the cup. . .
1215
01:22:37,874 --> 01:22:41,634
Not just the cup. We have
an obIigation to the pubIic.
1216
01:22:41,634 --> 01:22:43,314
He can stiII keep winning for years
1217
01:22:43,314 --> 01:22:45,994
in weight-for-age where they
can't handicap him out of it.
1218
01:22:45,994 --> 01:22:48,634
You're putting his whoIe
future at risk.
1219
01:22:48,634 --> 01:22:51,314
Tommy knows the horse
better than anyone.
1220
01:22:51,314 --> 01:22:53,594
AIright, aIright, aIright.
It's aIright with me.
1221
01:22:53,594 --> 01:22:56,274
But you're stiII gonna have to get
Harry to agree, and that is. . .
1222
01:22:56,274 --> 01:22:57,707
He aIready has.
1223
01:23:06,794 --> 01:23:08,434
Ah, Davis.
1224
01:23:08,434 --> 01:23:10,634
It was good of you to come
at such short notice.
1225
01:23:10,634 --> 01:23:12,314
I'II get straight to the point.
1226
01:23:12,314 --> 01:23:14,034
There's a strong rumour going around
1227
01:23:14,034 --> 01:23:16,034
that your horse is to be
scratched from the cup.
1228
01:23:16,034 --> 01:23:17,554
His name is Phar Lap.
1229
01:23:17,554 --> 01:23:19,034
Is it true?
Yes.
1230
01:23:19,034 --> 01:23:20,514
WouId you mind teIIing me why?
1231
01:23:20,514 --> 01:23:23,634
Because you've given him
an impossibIe weight to carry.
1232
01:23:23,634 --> 01:23:25,434
You mean the handicappers?
1233
01:23:25,434 --> 01:23:26,914
No, I meant you.
1234
01:23:26,914 --> 01:23:29,994
Are you impIying, Mr Davis, that we
try and infIuence the handicappers?
1235
01:23:29,994 --> 01:23:31,427
Yes.
1236
01:23:32,474 --> 01:23:34,351
I won't even bother
to answer that charge.
1237
01:23:35,434 --> 01:23:37,914
You reaIise, of course,
that under our ruIes,
1238
01:23:37,914 --> 01:23:40,554
you can't scratch a horse
without a good reason.
1239
01:23:40,554 --> 01:23:43,914
We have it on very good advice
1240
01:23:43,914 --> 01:23:48,434
that Phar Lap couId be permanentIy
incapacitated if he runs.
1241
01:23:48,434 --> 01:23:52,394
Nonsense. We've been assured that
the horse is in no danger whatsoever.
1242
01:23:52,394 --> 01:23:53,827
Wait a minute. Excuse me.
1243
01:23:56,274 --> 01:23:57,707
Let me understand this.
1244
01:23:58,794 --> 01:24:00,714
Are you ordering me to run him?
1245
01:24:00,714 --> 01:24:03,234
I'm requesting you very strongIy.
Oh, I see.
1246
01:24:03,234 --> 01:24:05,594
If we find he's been
scratched without good cause,
1247
01:24:05,594 --> 01:24:08,954
we can ban you and any horse
you're associated with
1248
01:24:08,954 --> 01:24:10,714
from ever racing in this State again.
1249
01:24:10,714 --> 01:24:13,194
Do you mind repeating that?
1250
01:24:13,194 --> 01:24:15,794
The race-going pubIic
are expecting your horse to run. . .
1251
01:24:15,794 --> 01:24:18,354
His name is Phar Lap.
Horse's name is Phar Lap.
1252
01:24:18,354 --> 01:24:20,114
And I don't see why two owners
1253
01:24:20,114 --> 01:24:22,234
with a grudge against the
handicappers and the VRC
1254
01:24:22,234 --> 01:24:23,954
shouId deprive them of that.
1255
01:24:23,954 --> 01:24:25,434
I see.
1256
01:24:25,434 --> 01:24:28,154
You put a ton on his back
so that he can't possibIy win,
1257
01:24:28,154 --> 01:24:31,114
but you want him there
to draw the crowds.
1258
01:24:31,114 --> 01:24:32,594
Very smart.
1259
01:24:32,594 --> 01:24:34,869
I'm acting in the best
interests of racing.
1260
01:24:38,874 --> 01:24:44,870
WeII. . .you've finaIIy done it,
haven't you, now, McKinnon?
1261
01:24:47,074 --> 01:24:51,474
If we scratch him,
he's barred from racing
1262
01:24:51,474 --> 01:24:54,274
and if we run him, there's a very
good chance of his breaking down,
1263
01:24:54,274 --> 01:24:56,868
and either way, you and your
cronies win it aII, don't you?
1264
01:24:58,354 --> 01:25:01,514
I don't think there's any purpose
in proIonging this conversation.
1265
01:25:01,514 --> 01:25:02,947
No, there reaIIy isn't.
1266
01:25:26,514 --> 01:25:28,394
Take it easy today, aIright?
1267
01:25:28,394 --> 01:25:29,914
Don't go busting your boiIer.
1268
01:25:29,914 --> 01:25:31,594
He'II be aIright, Tom.
1269
01:25:31,594 --> 01:25:33,394
If I see he's gone, I won't push him.
1270
01:25:33,394 --> 01:25:35,154
Thanks, Pikey.
1271
01:25:35,154 --> 01:25:38,394
RACE CALLER:
And here's Phar Lap, number one,
1272
01:25:38,394 --> 01:25:41,511
in Iine for his second MeIbourne Cup
being Ied out onto the track.
1273
01:25:42,834 --> 01:25:44,314
They're off!
1274
01:25:44,314 --> 01:25:46,514
And White Nose was one
of the first to jump out,
1275
01:25:46,514 --> 01:25:47,994
with Phar Lap beginning weII.
1276
01:25:47,994 --> 01:25:51,754
St Mary away quickIy
and so aIso is KoomeIa.
1277
01:25:51,754 --> 01:25:54,314
He's prominent, but just
in behind is Carry On.
1278
01:25:54,314 --> 01:25:57,754
And then Concentrate, a bit further
back in the fieId, Madstar.
1279
01:25:57,754 --> 01:25:59,954
They're racing down
the straight for the first time,
1280
01:25:59,954 --> 01:26:02,674
and White Nose in charge,
Ieads by a Iength and a haIf.
1281
01:26:02,674 --> 01:26:05,914
Moving up on the outside, KoomeIa
is second, then Second Wind,
1282
01:26:05,914 --> 01:26:09,394
and Phar Lap running over on the
inside as they pass the judge
1283
01:26:09,394 --> 01:26:11,430
and go towards the side
of the track. . .
1284
01:26:27,274 --> 01:26:29,154
Coming down past the `3' now,
1285
01:26:29,154 --> 01:26:31,794
and White Nose on the
inside is stiII in front.
1286
01:26:31,794 --> 01:26:33,354
He's been taken by Second Wind,
1287
01:26:33,354 --> 01:26:35,034
and here comes the mighty Phar Lap.
1288
01:26:35,034 --> 01:26:38,514
Phar Lap is coming up quickIy now,
behind White Nose,
1289
01:26:38,514 --> 01:26:40,994
Phar Lap is trying to bridge
the gap with White Nose.
1290
01:26:40,994 --> 01:26:43,914
Phar Lap on the outside,
coming up with White Nose.
1291
01:26:43,914 --> 01:26:45,954
Second Wind and Shadow King
on the Ieft.
1292
01:26:45,954 --> 01:26:47,554
White Nose is hoIding Phar Lap.
1293
01:26:47,554 --> 01:26:49,954
This is incredibIe, he's struggIing
under his big weight.
1294
01:26:49,954 --> 01:26:52,834
Phar Lap is starting to weaken,
it's White Nose and Second Wind. . .
1295
01:26:52,834 --> 01:26:54,474
Give it up, boy. It's aIright.
1296
01:26:54,474 --> 01:26:56,074
..Phar Lap is dropping
out of the quick,
1297
01:26:56,074 --> 01:26:59,394
and White Nose is going for
the shot with Shadow King.
1298
01:26:59,394 --> 01:27:03,273
Phar Lap is dropping and White Nose
wiII come down to Iine before. . .
1299
01:27:10,914 --> 01:27:15,032
( AII jeer and boo )
1300
01:28:02,954 --> 01:28:04,592
Crofton!
1301
01:28:06,194 --> 01:28:07,794
Excuse me.
1302
01:28:07,794 --> 01:28:10,154
Does your offer stiII stand?
Sure does.
1303
01:28:10,154 --> 01:28:11,754
Look, there's not
a horse in the worId
1304
01:28:11,754 --> 01:28:13,554
couId have won over that
distance carrying that weight.
1305
01:28:13,554 --> 01:28:15,431
I'm amazed he even finished
without breaking down.
1306
01:28:17,114 --> 01:28:18,547
Let's taIk, aIright?
1307
01:28:19,994 --> 01:28:22,034
Too many risks.
What risks?
1308
01:28:22,034 --> 01:28:25,154
The voyage over,
going into their winter,
1309
01:28:25,154 --> 01:28:28,394
dirt tracks, different feeding,
different styIes of racing.
1310
01:28:28,394 --> 01:28:29,874
Cashy!
1311
01:28:29,874 --> 01:28:31,394
If you take him over there,
1312
01:28:31,394 --> 01:28:33,194
our quarantine Iaws
are gonna make it bIoody hard
1313
01:28:33,194 --> 01:28:34,674
to bring him back home!
1314
01:28:34,674 --> 01:28:36,154
AIright, I grant you it's a risk.
1315
01:28:36,154 --> 01:28:37,634
But if it pays off, Harry,
1316
01:28:37,634 --> 01:28:40,592
we're gonna have more money than we
ever thought we'd have in our Iives.
1317
01:28:44,514 --> 01:28:46,903
AIright. Take him.
1318
01:28:48,074 --> 01:28:51,703
Great. We're gonna have to be ready
to go in about three weeks, OK?
1319
01:28:52,834 --> 01:28:54,314
I'm not going.
1320
01:28:54,314 --> 01:28:56,191
Wait a minute. Wait a minute!
1321
01:28:57,514 --> 01:28:58,994
What do you mean you're not going?
1322
01:28:58,994 --> 01:29:01,114
I got 40 horses to Iook after here.
1323
01:29:01,114 --> 01:29:03,114
Three of them are coming up
for their first race.
1324
01:29:03,114 --> 01:29:05,753
You have to go.
Who's gonna train the horse?
1325
01:29:06,794 --> 01:29:09,514
Tommy.
Woodcock?
1326
01:29:09,514 --> 01:29:11,114
What the heII does
he know about training?
1327
01:29:11,114 --> 01:29:13,234
He's a good strapper.
Best I've ever had.
1328
01:29:13,234 --> 01:29:14,714
This is not what I'm asking you,
1329
01:29:14,714 --> 01:29:16,314
I said, ``What does he
know about training?''
1330
01:29:16,314 --> 01:29:18,114
You're gonna have to take
him with you anyway,
1331
01:29:18,114 --> 01:29:20,514
the bIoody horse won't even fart
unIess Tommy teIIs him it's aIright!
1332
01:29:20,514 --> 01:29:22,314
Harry, I can't go to
the States without you!
1333
01:29:22,314 --> 01:29:24,314
I'm not going!
I'm sick of the sight of him!
1334
01:29:24,314 --> 01:29:26,270
BIoody horse has given me
troubIe since I got him.
1335
01:29:28,634 --> 01:29:30,314
You won't forget to write.
1336
01:29:30,314 --> 01:29:31,794
Of course not.
1337
01:29:31,794 --> 01:29:34,034
'Cause I wanna know what
the Americans taIk Iike.
1338
01:29:34,034 --> 01:29:35,994
What they eat, how they dress.
1339
01:29:35,994 --> 01:29:37,474
What they think about Bobby.
1340
01:29:37,474 --> 01:29:39,354
Yeah.
You gotta write everything.
1341
01:29:39,354 --> 01:29:40,834
I'II try my best.
1342
01:29:40,834 --> 01:29:42,950
Oh, I know you'II be busy.
1343
01:29:44,714 --> 01:29:46,511
Gee, I'm gonna miss you, Tommy.
1344
01:29:49,994 --> 01:29:52,952
Hey, um, Bobby's on.
Train's ready to go.
1345
01:29:54,554 --> 01:29:55,987
Go on, I'm not Iooking.
1346
01:30:03,074 --> 01:30:06,464
AII aboard! (BIows whistIe )
1347
01:30:08,034 --> 01:30:10,674
Here, come on, Tommy!
The bIoody train's going.
1348
01:30:10,674 --> 01:30:12,312
I Iove you.
Ta-ta.
1349
01:30:13,794 --> 01:30:15,227
Come on!
1350
01:30:54,874 --> 01:30:56,307
Suppose I'd better go, boss.
1351
01:30:58,994 --> 01:31:00,473
You're the boss now, Tom.
1352
01:31:10,234 --> 01:31:11,667
One more thing.
1353
01:31:13,114 --> 01:31:14,627
Don't be too soft on him.
1354
01:31:39,274 --> 01:31:43,114
( SHIP HORN BLARES )
1355
01:31:43,114 --> 01:31:44,547
MAN: Good Iuck, Tommy.
1356
01:32:39,794 --> 01:32:41,864
Uh-oh. Here's troubIe.
1357
01:32:51,474 --> 01:32:53,354
WeII, Dave. What a surprise.
1358
01:32:53,354 --> 01:32:55,394
AIright, don't buIIshit me, now,
Crofton. What's going on?
1359
01:32:55,394 --> 01:32:57,434
Dave, this is our chairman,
Baron Long.
1360
01:32:57,434 --> 01:32:59,834
You're Iooking good, Dave.
I'm Iooking terribIe.
1361
01:32:59,834 --> 01:33:01,754
I asked you something -
what's going on?
1362
01:33:01,754 --> 01:33:03,314
Mr Davis, pIease don't
get aIarmed. . .
1363
01:33:03,314 --> 01:33:06,594
The minute I stepped onto that wharf,
there was a reporter there asking me,
1364
01:33:06,594 --> 01:33:09,074
how do I feeI about
Agua CaIiente going broke?
1365
01:33:09,074 --> 01:33:12,354
It was a very nice weIcome back
to my native Iand. Thank you.
1366
01:33:12,354 --> 01:33:13,834
Just caIm down, Dave.
1367
01:33:13,834 --> 01:33:15,834
Look, we got a IittIe
bit of a cash probIem
1368
01:33:15,834 --> 01:33:17,314
due to the current
economic situation,
1369
01:33:17,314 --> 01:33:18,994
but once our pubIicity
machine gets roIIing,
1370
01:33:18,994 --> 01:33:21,554
that horse of yours is gonna
puII us right out of the red.
1371
01:33:24,594 --> 01:33:27,634
If I had known you wanted
Phar Lap as pubIicity bait,
1372
01:33:27,634 --> 01:33:29,714
I never wouId have
put him on that boat.
1373
01:33:29,714 --> 01:33:31,874
Do you know the risks
I've taken getting him here?
1374
01:33:31,874 --> 01:33:35,274
Mr Davis, don't panic.
The race wiII be run.
1375
01:33:35,274 --> 01:33:38,794
You'II get your $1 00,000,
pIus your expenses, pIus your bets
1376
01:33:38,794 --> 01:33:40,274
and everyone wiII end up happy.
1377
01:33:40,274 --> 01:33:42,034
Sure, by the time the race is run,
1378
01:33:42,034 --> 01:33:44,548
everybody is America is going to
be taIking about your horse, Dave.
1379
01:34:17,434 --> 01:34:19,634
JIM: WeIcome, gentIemen. WeIcome.
1380
01:34:19,634 --> 01:34:21,114
May I introduce you to
1381
01:34:21,114 --> 01:34:24,902
the Iucky owner of the worId's
greatest gaIIoper, Mr Dave Davis.
1382
01:34:25,954 --> 01:34:27,434
Thank you again.
1383
01:34:27,434 --> 01:34:30,954
I'd Iike to start things off by
introducing Phar Lap's trainer,
1384
01:34:30,954 --> 01:34:32,387
Mr Woodcock. . .
1385
01:34:33,674 --> 01:34:35,274
..his strapper, Mr Martin,
1386
01:34:35,274 --> 01:34:37,194
his vet, Mr NieIsen,
1387
01:34:37,194 --> 01:34:39,424
his jockey, Mr EIIiot. . .
1388
01:34:40,914 --> 01:34:43,154
..and this beautifuI young Iady
here is my wife, Bea.
1389
01:34:43,154 --> 01:34:45,145
Now, gentIemen,
any questions, pIease.
1390
01:34:46,394 --> 01:34:48,594
Is he reaIIy the worId's
greatest gaIIoper, Mr Davis?
1391
01:34:48,594 --> 01:34:53,474
WeII, without taking anything away
from your great American champions,
1392
01:34:53,474 --> 01:34:54,954
yes, I truIy beIieve so.
1393
01:34:54,954 --> 01:34:56,834
Have you seen the fieId
he's up against?
1394
01:34:56,834 --> 01:34:57,914
Yes.
1395
01:34:57,914 --> 01:35:01,674
Spanish PIay, Joe FIores,
Cabezo, ReveiIIe Boy.
1396
01:35:01,674 --> 01:35:03,994
WeII, fine horses aII of them,
1397
01:35:03,994 --> 01:35:05,674
but beIieve me when
I teII you, gentIemen,
1398
01:35:05,674 --> 01:35:07,234
they are no threat to Phar Lap.
1399
01:35:07,234 --> 01:35:10,154
JIM: GentIemen, I have seen the
Red Terror race with my own eyes,
1400
01:35:10,154 --> 01:35:12,554
and I can sum it up
in one word - unbeIievabIe.
1401
01:35:12,554 --> 01:35:14,834
Won't he have troubIe accIimatising?
1402
01:35:14,834 --> 01:35:19,034
I don't think so. We've brought
everything to make him feeI at home.
1403
01:35:19,034 --> 01:35:21,794
We've even brought his food
aII the way from AustraIia.
1404
01:35:21,794 --> 01:35:23,354
Can we get a few pictures?
1405
01:35:23,354 --> 01:35:24,954
CertainIy, gentIemen,
no probIem at aII.
1406
01:35:24,954 --> 01:35:27,154
Tommy, you wanna bring the horse
over here for the gentIemen. . .
1407
01:35:27,154 --> 01:35:29,354
That'II do. It's hot out here,
no good for the horse.
1408
01:35:29,354 --> 01:35:31,554
Tom, you wanna bring
the horse over here, pIease?
1409
01:35:31,554 --> 01:35:33,674
Uh, don't forget to show his
hindquarters, gentIemen.
1410
01:35:33,674 --> 01:35:35,154
PIease, it's very important.
1411
01:35:35,154 --> 01:35:36,634
Tom, where the heII are you going?
1412
01:35:36,634 --> 01:35:38,634
He came here to race,
not to do this buIIshit.
1413
01:35:38,634 --> 01:35:42,074
The most powerfuI hindquarters in the
worId, gentIemen. Get a good shot.
1414
01:35:42,074 --> 01:35:44,474
Tom, come back here, goddammit.
This is the NationaI Press.
1415
01:35:44,474 --> 01:35:46,074
He shouId have been fed an hour ago.
1416
01:35:46,074 --> 01:35:48,474
JIM: Uh, pIease, gentIemen. PIenty
of food and drink at the paviIion.
1417
01:35:48,474 --> 01:35:50,234
Did you hear that?
1418
01:35:50,234 --> 01:35:52,464
Looks Iike you've got
yourseIf a good trainer.
1419
01:35:53,514 --> 01:35:57,114
What is this Woodcock guy? The press
can't get near that animaI of yours.
1420
01:35:57,114 --> 01:35:59,594
He's guarding him as if
he couId eat straw and pass goId!
1421
01:35:59,594 --> 01:36:01,714
We reaIIy need the pubIicity, Dave.
I know.
1422
01:36:01,714 --> 01:36:03,194
He even sIeeps with the horse.
1423
01:36:03,194 --> 01:36:04,674
What - is he some kind of pervert?
1424
01:36:04,674 --> 01:36:07,074
WeII, can't you just. . .fire the guy?
1425
01:36:07,074 --> 01:36:08,714
If I did, the goddamned horse
1426
01:36:08,714 --> 01:36:11,069
wouId sit in his staII
for the next month and cry.
1427
01:36:30,634 --> 01:36:33,154
When's he gonna gaIIop?
In a week or two.
1428
01:36:33,154 --> 01:36:34,634
A week or two?
1429
01:36:34,634 --> 01:36:36,554
I'm bringing him up to peak sIowIy.
1430
01:36:36,554 --> 01:36:38,954
Harry wouId have been working
his butt off by now, you know?
1431
01:36:38,954 --> 01:36:40,594
I'm not Harry.
1432
01:36:40,594 --> 01:36:43,874
You're getting too smart for
your own good, you know that, kid?
1433
01:36:43,874 --> 01:36:45,474
I want that horse fit.
1434
01:36:45,474 --> 01:36:46,907
He wiII be.
1435
01:36:47,954 --> 01:36:50,554
Have you changed his shoes yet,
Iike the track vet advised you to?
1436
01:36:50,554 --> 01:36:52,754
He's been wearing the kind
he's got on aII his Iife.
1437
01:36:52,754 --> 01:36:54,506
The track vet doesn't know
what he's taIking about.
1438
01:36:55,874 --> 01:36:57,830
The track vet doesn't know
what he's taIking about, huh?
1439
01:36:59,834 --> 01:37:02,434
You were toId about the harder
surfaces over here, weren't you?
1440
01:37:02,434 --> 01:37:04,186
You were toId he couId
pick up a stone.
1441
01:37:05,234 --> 01:37:06,754
WeII?
1442
01:37:06,754 --> 01:37:08,354
He'II have to be scratched.
1443
01:37:08,354 --> 01:37:09,834
No, he's gotta run.
1444
01:37:09,834 --> 01:37:11,314
I got him backed for a fortune.
1445
01:37:11,314 --> 01:37:13,714
WeII, there's nothing I can do.
HaIf his hoof is hanging off.
1446
01:37:13,714 --> 01:37:16,994
Cut it away, BiII. It'II heaI.
1447
01:37:16,994 --> 01:37:19,154
Before the race?
It'II heaI.
1448
01:37:19,154 --> 01:37:20,587
HoId it!
1449
01:37:21,914 --> 01:37:23,347
Is there any chance?
1450
01:37:24,794 --> 01:37:26,274
It's possibIe.
1451
01:37:26,274 --> 01:37:27,787
Then do it.
1452
01:37:29,514 --> 01:37:31,114
Now, how are you gonna get him fit?
1453
01:37:31,114 --> 01:37:34,072
WaIk him. I'II keep him moving aII day.
1454
01:37:37,554 --> 01:37:39,114
You know something?
1455
01:37:39,114 --> 01:37:42,474
Harry must have been out of his mind
when he recommended you as a trainer.
1456
01:37:42,474 --> 01:37:45,114
And I must have been out
of my mind to Iisten to him.
1457
01:37:45,114 --> 01:37:46,594
Mr Davis.
What?
1458
01:37:46,594 --> 01:37:49,434
Harry TeIford used to train
that horse too hard.
1459
01:37:49,434 --> 01:37:54,110
If I can get him 90% fit,
his heart'II get him to the Iine.
1460
01:37:55,554 --> 01:37:57,954
The amount of faith you put
in that heart of his, kid,
1461
01:37:57,954 --> 01:37:59,512
it must be one heII of an organ.
1462
01:38:35,234 --> 01:38:38,314
MAN: There are rumours that the
horse is carrying a serious injury.
1463
01:38:38,314 --> 01:38:40,954
The horse is fit, totaIIy fit.
1464
01:38:40,954 --> 01:38:42,754
Then why hasn't he been
out on the track?
1465
01:38:42,754 --> 01:38:44,954
What about aII these rumours
that his hoof is cracked?
1466
01:38:44,954 --> 01:38:47,634
GentIemen, Phar Lap has stepped
on a stone and bruised his foot.
1467
01:38:47,634 --> 01:38:49,434
MEN: How badIy?
Wait a minute, wait a minute!
1468
01:38:49,434 --> 01:38:51,834
We put a mud pack on it
and we do not expect that
1469
01:38:51,834 --> 01:38:54,194
it wiII significantIy interfere
with the horse's preparation.
1470
01:38:54,194 --> 01:38:56,674
Then when are we IikeIy to see. . .
Thank you, gentIemen, that's it.
1471
01:38:56,674 --> 01:38:58,710
WeII, it's heaIing.
1472
01:38:59,914 --> 01:39:02,314
Faster than I expected
but not fast enough for him to run.
1473
01:39:02,314 --> 01:39:03,794
He's gotta run.
1474
01:39:03,794 --> 01:39:06,754
If he wins here, I've got offers
for him from aII over the States.
1475
01:39:06,754 --> 01:39:09,714
BiII, what about we try fitting bar shoes?
1476
01:39:09,714 --> 01:39:13,194
To support him across here
and take pressure off the spIit.
1477
01:39:13,194 --> 01:39:14,714
WeII, has he worn them before?
1478
01:39:14,714 --> 01:39:16,514
No.
No, he hasn't.
1479
01:39:16,514 --> 01:39:17,994
WeII, what do you think?
1480
01:39:17,994 --> 01:39:19,474
WeII, it's worth a try.
1481
01:39:19,474 --> 01:39:21,354
But you won't be abIe
to give him anything
1482
01:39:21,354 --> 01:39:23,354
but Iight track work
right up to the race.
1483
01:39:23,354 --> 01:39:24,834
That's aIright.
1484
01:39:24,834 --> 01:39:26,314
That aIright, huh?
1485
01:39:26,314 --> 01:39:27,914
We're going into
the richest race in history
1486
01:39:27,914 --> 01:39:29,714
with a horse that's haIf-fit and Iame.
1487
01:39:29,714 --> 01:39:31,352
That's wonderfuI.
1488
01:39:51,474 --> 01:39:53,474
Jimmy, what the heII
is happening with Phar Lap?
1489
01:39:53,474 --> 01:39:55,274
Baron, there's no probIem.
1490
01:39:55,274 --> 01:39:58,594
There better not be. The whoIe
of the US is taIking about the horse.
1491
01:39:58,594 --> 01:40:01,354
Did you see WaIter WincheII's
coIumn yesterday? Fantastic!
1492
01:40:01,354 --> 01:40:02,874
We're gonna have
our biggest crowd ever.
1493
01:40:02,874 --> 01:40:04,990
What the heII is he doing here?
1494
01:40:07,354 --> 01:40:10,354
A Iot of money went on
to ReveiIIe Boy yesterday.
1495
01:40:10,354 --> 01:40:13,824
Yeah, I bet a Iot more went into
the pockets of certain jockeys too.
1496
01:40:14,874 --> 01:40:16,354
Is Phar Lap weII guarded?
1497
01:40:16,354 --> 01:40:19,790
Oh, yeah. I got Frank and
the boys with him round the cIock.
1498
01:40:20,914 --> 01:40:23,074
ProbIem is, by the time
Bert gets his story through,
1499
01:40:23,074 --> 01:40:25,274
we're not gonna have time
to get it on the streets.
1500
01:40:25,274 --> 01:40:26,754
What are we gonna do, then?
1501
01:40:26,754 --> 01:40:28,874
We have two versions ready to go.
1502
01:40:28,874 --> 01:40:32,034
If he wins, ``AustraIian
wonder horse beats the worId.''
1503
01:40:32,034 --> 01:40:33,514
And if he Ioses?
1504
01:40:33,514 --> 01:40:35,869
``New ZeaIand horse faiIs in Mexico.''
1505
01:40:37,514 --> 01:40:42,514
Harry. . .there's something
wrong with these figures.
1506
01:40:42,514 --> 01:40:45,114
There's £2,000 missing somewhere.
1507
01:40:45,114 --> 01:40:47,114
Yeah, I had a bet.
1508
01:40:47,114 --> 01:40:48,627
On Phar Lap?
1509
01:40:49,794 --> 01:40:52,514
No, on one of my coIts
on Saturday. He Iost.
1510
01:40:52,514 --> 01:40:55,274
Harry, you never bet.
1511
01:40:55,274 --> 01:40:56,707
I did and he Iost.
1512
01:40:58,994 --> 01:41:00,746
£2,000?
1513
01:41:03,794 --> 01:41:05,914
Harry, if you're going to start
gambIing our money away,
1514
01:41:05,914 --> 01:41:07,394
I'd Iike to be toId.
1515
01:41:07,394 --> 01:41:11,594
We're in worse debt now than
we've ever been, do you reaIise that?
1516
01:41:11,594 --> 01:41:13,027
Phar Lap'II win.
1517
01:41:14,874 --> 01:41:16,307
What if he doesn't?
1518
01:41:17,394 --> 01:41:18,827
He'II win at CaIiente.
1519
01:41:21,394 --> 01:41:23,271
And he'II win everywhere
eIse he races.
1520
01:41:25,554 --> 01:41:28,474
For years, I've kidded myseIf
that I made that horse.
1521
01:41:28,474 --> 01:41:31,113
Truth is, he wouId've been a
champion no matter who trained him.
1522
01:41:33,474 --> 01:41:35,354
I've got 20 coIts out there with
1523
01:41:35,354 --> 01:41:37,114
bIood Iines as good
or better than his
1524
01:41:37,114 --> 01:41:38,672
and I've trained them
aII exactIy the same.
1525
01:41:39,714 --> 01:41:41,625
Every one's a dud.
1526
01:41:43,554 --> 01:41:45,306
He's a freak.
1527
01:42:02,194 --> 01:42:03,627
Dave?
1528
01:42:04,954 --> 01:42:06,434
Dave, if your horse wins today,
1529
01:42:06,434 --> 01:42:09,234
get him out of here quickIy
and have him guarded from here on in.
1530
01:42:09,234 --> 01:42:13,147
What are you taIking about? Huh?
1531
01:42:14,754 --> 01:42:18,034
It's just that. . .
the big syndicates here
1532
01:42:18,034 --> 01:42:19,634
have racing pretty weII organised.
1533
01:42:19,634 --> 01:42:22,434
Now, the Iast thing they want is
a horse coming in from the outside
1534
01:42:22,434 --> 01:42:23,914
who wins everything
and can't be bought.
1535
01:42:23,914 --> 01:42:25,914
I'II start worrying
about that if he wins.
1536
01:42:25,914 --> 01:42:27,394
But first, he's gotta win.
1537
01:42:27,394 --> 01:42:29,034
Yeah.
1538
01:42:29,034 --> 01:42:31,787
Just. . . keep him cIear
of the pack, that's aII.
1539
01:42:33,554 --> 01:42:35,074
Oh, there's a rumour going around
1540
01:42:35,074 --> 01:42:36,674
that some of the jockeys
have been paid
1541
01:42:36,674 --> 01:42:38,274
to keep him boxed in on the raiIs.
1542
01:42:38,274 --> 01:42:41,194
Look, Dave, if something's
good, that's OK.
1543
01:42:41,194 --> 01:42:44,914
But if something's too good,
it upsets the whoIe system.
1544
01:42:44,914 --> 01:42:46,347
Be carefuI, eh?
1545
01:42:50,274 --> 01:42:52,314
RACE CALLER: Ladies and gentIemen,

1546
01:42:52,314 --> 01:42:55,274

01:42:58,194 --> 01:42:59,674
Now, Iisten to me cIoseIy.
1549
01:42:59,674 --> 01:43:02,354
I want you to take him
out to the front of the bunch
1550
01:43:02,354 --> 01:43:05,154
right from the start - they're gonna
try to box you in on the raiIs. . .
1551
01:43:05,154 --> 01:43:07,554
He can't start fast, it'II put
too much strain on the hoof!
1552
01:43:07,554 --> 01:43:10,227
I said, he starts fast
and that is an order!
1553
01:43:14,914 --> 01:43:17,194
AIright, now don't forget, BiIIy.
1554
01:43:17,194 --> 01:43:19,230
You take him out front,
you take him out fast.
1555
01:43:20,714 --> 01:43:22,194
Dave?
1556
01:43:22,194 --> 01:43:25,152
Not now, not now, sir, pIease. Do
me a favour. I'II taIk to you Iater.
1557
01:43:27,074 --> 01:43:29,634
BiIIy, hoId him back at the start.
1558
01:43:29,634 --> 01:43:31,994
Take him out wide and
go right 'round the outside.
1559
01:43:31,994 --> 01:43:34,554
Who's giving the orders
round here, you or Davis?
1560
01:43:34,554 --> 01:43:37,394
Me. HoId him back and take him wide.
1561
01:43:37,394 --> 01:43:39,794
I'II have to cover a heII
of a Iot of extra ground.
1562
01:43:39,794 --> 01:43:41,834
BiIIy, do what you're toId.
You'II get there.
1563
01:43:41,834 --> 01:43:43,314
What if the hoof goes?
1564
01:43:43,314 --> 01:43:44,794
PuII him up straightaway.
1565
01:43:44,794 --> 01:43:48,314

foIIowed by Marine
and Cabezo is on the outside.
1579
01:45:08,714 --> 01:45:11,514
We're ready at the start
of the Agua CaIiente Handicap.
1580
01:45:11,514 --> 01:45:16,234
MarshaII Cassidy ready to send this
fine fieId of gentIemen on their way
1581
01:45:16,234 --> 01:45:17,994
for a distance of 1 .25 miIes.
1582
01:45:17,994 --> 01:45:19,473

Off sIowIy, pushing Phar Lap.

Scimitar, Spanish PIay
and Phar Lap is the traiIer.
1598
01:46:00,154 --> 01:46:04,354
It Iooks Iike the AustraIian champion
is not gonna run his race today.
1599
01:46:04,354 --> 01:46:06,874
As the fieId moves
to the cIubhouse turn,
1600
01:46:06,874 --> 01:46:08,474
Joe FIores on the inside. . .
1601
01:46:08,474 --> 01:46:09,954
AIright, not yet.
1602
01:46:09,954 --> 01:46:11,434

( Crowd shouts and cheers )
1618
01:46:49,594 --> 01:46:51,514
It's Phar Lap taking the Iead!
1619
01:46:51,514 --> 01:46:54,554
I've never seen a horse
move so fast in two furIongs!
1620
01:46:54,554 --> 01:46:57,034
On the inside,
it's Joe FIores and Bahamas.
1621
01:46:57,034 --> 01:47:00,394
Second spot, it's ReveiIIe Boy
moving between horses.
1622
01:47:00,394 --> 01:47:04,433
It's Phar Lap showing the way
by a Iength and a quarter. . .
1623
01:47:08,434 --> 01:47:10,394
Whoa, that's the champion.
1624
01:47:10,394 --> 01:47:13,034
It appears that he's faItering,
jockey puIIing up.
1625
01:47:13,034 --> 01:47:14,634
He's having troubIe.
TOM: Watch behind ya!
1626
01:47:14,634 --> 01:47:16,354
As Phar Lap is puIIing up,
1627
01:47:16,354 --> 01:47:20,034
ReveiIIe Boy charges up on
the outside now to take the Iead.
1628
01:47:20,034 --> 01:47:24,914
On the inside, it's Phar Lap,
on the outside, ReveiIIe Boy. . .
1629
01:47:24,914 --> 01:47:27,634
Now take him home! Take him home!
1630
01:47:27,634 --> 01:47:31,394
ReveiIIe Boy on
the outside, two horse race!
1631
01:47:31,394 --> 01:47:34,474
Phar Lap on the inside,
ReveiIIe Boy on the outside
1632
01:47:34,474 --> 01:47:37,307
and they're coming to the Iine,
Phar Lap hoIds the Iead. . .
1633
01:48:00,434 --> 01:48:02,390
It's Phar Lap, the winner!
1634
01:48:29,354 --> 01:48:30,787
Mr TeIford?
1635
01:48:37,714 --> 01:48:40,754
Mr TeIford, can you have a few
words with me about the tragedy?
1636
01:48:40,754 --> 01:48:42,314
Leave me aIone.
1637
01:48:42,314 --> 01:48:43,794
WeII, why is it, do you think,
1638
01:48:43,794 --> 01:48:46,154
that there's been this incredibIe
reaction to Phar Lap's death?
1639
01:48:46,154 --> 01:48:48,474
After aII, he was just a horse.
1640
01:48:48,474 --> 01:48:50,704
He wasn't JUST a horse!
1641
01:48:52,674 --> 01:48:54,471
He was the best.
