HE HAD THEM
t S a two-year-old Phar Lap, the Derby winner, was not a champion. It was not until four months ago that Telford, his lessee trainer, regarded him as a Derby proposition. Two years ago Harry Telford sent the following message to his brother, a trainer in New Zealand: “If the colt by Night Raid from Entreaty has four sound legs and a head and looks all right, buy him for me up to £200.” Telford had some difficulty in finding a Sydney business man to put up the money—Phar Lap was eventually purchased for 160 guineas—but eventually Mr. D. J. Davis said he would take a risk on the trainer's judgment. He is well satisfied with his decision today, writes THE SUNS Sydney correspondent.
