Phar Lap, ridden by jockey Billy Elliott, won the 1932 Agua Caliente handicap in Tijuana, Mexico. At that time, it was the richest horse race in the world. This race program belonged to Elliott, who made note of the other placegetters.
The race was to be Phar Lap’s last as he died 16 days later in mysterious circumstances.
