Phar Lap vs. Trump
The photographer gives an intersting comparison showing the size of The Trump compared with that of another great Melbourne Cup winner, Phar Lap, whose silhouette is superimposed over a picture of The Trump. Phar Lap, greatest horse Australia has seen, won £66,738 in stakes before he died in America. As a two-year-old only was The Trump the greater stake winner. He won £537 10s to Phar Lap’s £182.
Thereafter Phar Lap’s amazing career overshadowed The Trump’s to an even greater extent than the photograph shows he did in size. As a three-year-old he won almost £27,000, winning 13 times in 20 starts. The Trump’s three-year-old winnings were £530, from a first, second and third in his only three starts. At four years the difference was as marked. Phar Lap won more than £24,000 and won 14 races in a row. This year’s Cup winner had eight starts for one win, the Derrimut Handicap on July 11, worth £280. Since that -race The Trump has won £14,380. Phar Lap won just over £15.000 more before he died. The Trump has been hard to train, while Phar Lap was a racing machine.
