Besides all the successes of Australia in sports there were some tragic moments, which are in every Australians mind. The most mysterious story of all – according to all Australians – was the best racehorse ever: Phar Lap.
In the late 20th and the early 30th this horse won every bigger race in Australia. It was brought to America so it can compete with the best horses. It did win the first race in Mexico; however shortly after it the horse was dead. The official diagnosis was a stomach infection. The unofficial one – and up till today it is discussed fiercely – that members of the bet mafia in the USA poisoned it.
