Australian Gelding Threatened
New Earnings Mark Before
Death Ended Career.
The sudden death of Phar Lap,
he "Red Terror" of Australia, has
emoved from the turf one of the
most popular horses that ever ranI
under the wire. His death also re-
moves a racer that was destined to
nake a new record in earnings that
would probably stand for years. I
This famous gelding, whose nii:m r
signifies "Wink of the Sky" in
Senegalese, arrived in San Fran-
cisco in January, and without any
preliminary races, stepped out to
defeat some of the country's best in
the classic of the West, the $50,-

Foaled in Australia of some of the
best of English blood, the giant, red
horse had earned for his two own-
ers a total of $282,000 which placed
him near the top of money earn-
ers. With no new worlds left to
conquer in Australia, he was trans-
ported 10,000 miles to California in
a specially constructed stateroom.
In winning the Handicap, Phar
Lap was staked up against Spanish
flay, shipped from New Orleans for
the classic, and the favorite. But
the "Red Terror" won easily, ad-
vancing his total earnings to $332,-
