The skeleton of Phar Lap, a famous racehorse from the 1920s that was born in New Zealand, and raised and trained in Australia, the all-time best racehorse in Australian history ... most Aussies still resent America for the suspected poisoning that caused Phar Lap's death in the States a couple months before he was to run in the Kentucky Derby ... at any rate, Phar Lap's skeleton is here in Wellington, his heart is in Melbourne, and his hide is in Canberra, so he's all over the place
