Wargrave sought for stud by Sportsman writer after Spearmint Derby
The Sportsman specialist recalls attempting to lease Wargrave before Spearmint won the Derby. A £750 yearly offer with a three year option was made, but Wargrave’s owners kept the horse as Spearmint’s victory boosted Carbine stock. Had Wargrave’s stud plans been announced after the Derby, demand would have filled at 46 guineas for three years.
