Dalray was a notable New Zealand thoroughbred racehorse who won the 1952 Melbourne Cup and Mackinnon Stakes. He was also famously a ‘certainty’ beaten in the 1952 Sydney Cup. When his owner was quizzed about the defeat he declared "Phar Lap got beaten and Bradman got a duck".〔Taylor, M. (2002). ''Century of champions : 100 great Australian and New Zealand horses ''. HarperCollinsPublishers (New Zealand) Limited ISBN 1-86950-427-5, p. 59〕 His career was cut short by injury when he was a four-year-old and he was retired to stud. Amongst his better progeny were Tails (1969 and 1970 Metropolitan Handicap) and Grand Garry (1960 Sydney Cup). He died from a twisted bowel, aged 23. ==Further reading== * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dalray」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
