Written the year that Phar Lap died, this tribute song is by Jack Lumsdaine. Lumsdaine sings: 'He made fame for Australia's name. But he'll never come back home. Just a wonder horse, known on every course from Australia to USA. We're sad old chap, that your long lost lap has come and you've gone away. For there may be other champions but your memory will always be new.'

The National Film and Sound Archive of Australia acknowledges Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we work and live and gives respect to their Elders both past and present.
