ENGLISH WINNERS OF GRAND PRIX. Spearmint is the first English horse that has won the Grand Prix since 1SSC, when Minting, the grandslre of Spearmint, was successful. Only two other English Derby winners Cremorne and Klsber had previously secured the principal French "classic" race. Gladiateur, the winner of both events in 1S05, of course, was a French owned and bred colt. Such marvels as Blair Atiiol, Doncaster and St. Blaise all successes at Epsom failed at Longchaiup. Merry Hampton was the last to try unsuccessfully. This was in 1S87.
