Research Notes:
Yvonne Smith notes:
I have been researching my partners family, one of his GGGG Grandfather's being Benjamin Warby Jnr and I have found your website to be of great help. I was wondering if you would have any knowledge of the existence of a painting of Ben Warby's horse Cardinal Wiseman who won the 1857 Jockey club cup. Newspaper articles stated that it was in the possession of Mrs James (Annie Nicholas Sharp) of Black Rock in 1945 who obviously had inherited it from her mother Elizabeth Mary Ann Sharp (nee Warby and the sister of my partners GGG Grandmother Isabina). Also to make it more juicy, Frederick Woodhouse was most likely the painter, again thanks to digitisation of our newspapers. As Cardinal Wiseman was retired after winning the Jockey Club Cup which was the forerunner of the Melbourne Cup, his racetrack feats have largely disappeared. It would be wonderful if this very significant piece of early racing history was uncovered, we would dearly loved to see an image of it. Perhaps the Art Gallery and Racing museum would be greatly interested as well. 442
