AUSTRALIA-RACING-SCIENCE-HISTORY
(FILES) This handout picture taken 23 August 2000 shows an unidentified museum worker assisting on the specially built packing case being used to transfer famous race horse Phar Lap (L) from the Museum Victoria to its new home at the Melbourne Museum. Tests have proved that Australia's greatest racehorse Phar Lap was poisoned by arsenic in the United States in 1932, scientists said on June 19, 2008. The giant New Zealand-born chestnut became an icon in Australia during the Great Depression, winning 37 of his 51 races, including one Melbourne Cup in 1930 and two Cox Plates in 1930 and 1931.
