On the 4 of October 1926, late in the season, a horse was born in Timaru, New Zealand.

The horse's arrival couldn't have been less interesting to almost everyone, except for an Australian trainer Harry Telford. Broke and perpetually down on his luck, Telford saw something in the horse's bloodline. 

Yet even he, upon seeing the awkward, gangly horse thought he had made the biggest mistake of his life. 

That horse's name was Phar Lap.

Titus is touring the country. Tickets are on sale now.
