After gangsters failed in their bid to shoot Phar Lap before the 1930 Melbourne Cup, the film shows Woodcock and the horse immediately being taken to a secret location arranged by Davis and Telford (St Albans in Geelong, west-south-west of Melbourne). The film doesn't show that only hours after the attempt on Phar Lap's life, he had won the Melbourne Stakes. The attempted shooting took place only 3 days before the Melbourne Cup, though the film makes it appear like it was at least one week out from the race.
