The Melbourne Cup is known as the "Race that Stops the nation". But the value of these horses sometimes exceed their status.
This is a story about a special horse, one that Australia claims as its own, and still mourns the loss, 87 years after he died.
Join Holly and Matthew as they look into Australia's favourite racehorse, Phar Lap!
