Peter Pan was an Australian thoroughbred horse by Pantheon out of Alwina. He was foaled at the Broona Stud near Sydney Australia in 1929. Conditioned by future Hall of Fame trainer, Frank McGrath, Sr., Peter Pan raced early in the 1930s during the Great Depression, and with Phar Lap and Chatham were household names at the time.
Peter Pan was made famous for winning the Melbourne Cup twice, in 1932 and 1934. The second cup was won with 9st 10 on his back and from an outside draw on a heavy track, hence his long odds of 14/1. In 1932 he also won the VRC Derby and the MacKinnon Stakes. To win two Melbourne Cups is a rare feat, and this with his fine record gained him a place in the Australian Racing Hall of Fame.
