Trivia

Arsenic, an Old Race

The most recent speculation surrounding the death of Australia's most infamous racing horse, Phar Lap, is that he was poisoned accidentally, and not intentionally taken from the game as part of a sinister plot.

Although previous tests had found that Phar Lap's remains contained high levels of arsenic, it has recently been found in a diary kept by his trainer, Harry Telford, that the horse's death may have been by accidental poisoning by his strapper Tommy Woodcock.

It's said that in Phar Lap's time, the early 30's, arsenic was quite a common tonic, usually given in the form of a solution known as Fowler's Solution.

The solution was so common that it's estimated 90 per cent of the horses back then would have had arsenic in their systems.
