Carbine Grania Poliness, Waterloo Press Australia, 1985, softcover, 102 pgs, b&w photos, very good. The story of Carbine, who remains, with Tulloch and Phar Lap, as one of the three great heroes of the Australian turf. Sire of the English Derby winner Spearmint. " Bruce Lowe, writing in his book 'Breeding Racehorses by the Figure System', said that Carbine's fillies should be worth their weight in gold as dams, and although this may be an exaggeration, he did sire good broodmares and his sons Spearmint and Wallace were excellent broodmare sires. Spearmint sired the outstanding Plucky Liege and Catnip, granddam of Nearco."
