Jack Spigot, a dark bay colt, was foaled in 1818 by Ardrossan or Marmilon out of the sister to Bowbon. In 1820 he won a sweep at Doncaster. He won the St. Leger in 1821, ridden by William Scott. This was the first of a record nine St. Legers which Scott won. Jack Spigot is said to have had a great dislike for William Scott. In 1822 he won the Convivial Stakes at Newcastle, and in 1823 he was unplaced in the Craven Stakes at Newmarket which was his last race. He was buried in the centre of Yew Tree Court, Bolton Hall, in June 1843.
