Dalray (1948−1971) was a notable New Zealand thoroughbred racehorse who won the 1952 Melbourne Cup and Mackinnon Stakes.
Dalray 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".[1]
Dalray's 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).
Dalray died in 1971 from a twisted bowel, aged 23.
