Peter
Pan racehorse Melbourne Cup winner
Racehorse
Peter Pan was foaled in 1929 by Pantheon out of Alwina and was an
outstanding champion horse in his day winning the Melbourne Cup twice
in 1932 and 1934 together with a number of black type races including
the AJC St Leger and Derby,the AJC Autumn Plate twice, the Cumberland
Plate twice and the AJC All Aged Stakes.
The second time he won the
Melbourne Cup was one of the great performances on a rain affected
track as he carried the massive weight of 9st 10lbs, the equivalent
of 62.5 kgs in today's weight scale and started at 14/1 and was ridden
by legendary jockey Darby Munro.
He started in the Melbourne
Cup for a third time in 1935 after recovering from illness but was
soundly beaten in to 13th place carrying 10st 5 lbs.
In his fourth and fifth
year he Won six of 8 starts over 1600 metres breaking the Australian
record on his way through.
Owned by Rodney Dangar and
trained by Frank McGrath, Peter Pan raced 39 times for 23 wins, 6
seconds and 1 third for a total of £34988 ($69976).
Peter Pan did go to stud
at his owner's property near Singleton with some success before he
had to be put down after breaking a leg in 1941.
Peter Pan sired the stakes winners like
Grampian, Peter and Precept, who won the Moonee Valley Stakes and
the VRC Derby. Peter won the Williamstown Cup and was beaten in to
second place in the 1944 Melbourne Cup.
