DAM: Mare by Rib - Mother Western by Easby Snake - mare by (Old) Montagu - mare by (Old) Hautboy - mare by Brimmer - Royal mare (Family 12).
Grey 1773. Probably bred by Sir Thomas Gascoigne, then ran under the ownership of Miles Stapleton, later racing again for Gascoigne. A big, 16 hand colt, he ran in top company: won the Jockey Club Plate at Newmarket in 1778, beating Pot-8-Os (who had run a race the day before); in 1779 was second in a 450 guineas sweep at Newmarket (to Highflyer). Does not appear to have been well patronized, standing, as he did, in the years Pot-8-Os and Highflyer were also at stud: sired Newbyth (1783), Sir Horatio (1793) and several others. |

Makeless
SIRE: Oglethorpe Arabian. Owned by John Croft, Barforth, Yorkshire. Described as "...a horse of great eminence especially as a stallion." He was covering mares in the first two decades of the 18th century, so probably dates to the early to mid 1690s. He sired a number of daughters who are important in thoroughbred pedigrees. He got Sir Ralph Milbanke's "famous" black mare (c. 1705, Family 13); the Old Scarborough mare (Family 25, 1715, the grandam of Miss Wyndam and ancestress of Young Melbourne), the only horse known to have beaten the famous (younger) Bonny Black; the Duke of Devonshire's Makeless Mare (Family 33, dam of Old Polly and a filly who was ancestress of Dungannon); Sir Matthew Pierson's "famous" Makeless mare (Family 37), the dam of Bay Bolton (1705), and Lamprie (1715); Chestnut Thornton (Family 2), important in several branches of Family 2; Brown Farewell (1710, Family 4), dam of Miss Partner and other important mares in Family 4; Chestnut Layton, also seen in Family 4. |

Grey 1768. Bred by John Atkinson of Yorkshire, and sold to and raced by Richard, (1st) Earl Grosvenor. A good racehorse with 11 wins, including the Jockey club Plate and King's Plate at Newmarket in 1775, beating some of the top horses of his day, including Florizel, Trentham and Comus. Sired Messenger (1780), who was exported to the U.S. and is considered a foundation sire of Standardbreds, and the racehorses Carlo Khan (1781) and Guildford (1784), among around 30 listed in the GSB. Some of his many daughters are Brighton Belle, dam of Skyrocket and Magpie; Grey Gawkey, dam of Prisoner and Flycatcher; Marcella, dam of Fop and Enchantress (dam of Palmyra), and the dam of Miss Pratt. |
Mark Anthony
SIRE: Spectator - Crab - ALCOCK ARABIAN.
DAM: Rachel by Blank - mare by Regulus - mare by Soreheels - mare by Makeless - D'Arcy Royal Mare (Family 13).
Bay or Brown 1767. Bred by the Duke of Ancaster, sold to the first Baron Clermont, who ran him. "Barely larger than a pony," he won 12 of his 20 races, all at Newmarket, to age eight, including the Beecham Well Cup and a 300 guineas match against Pumpkin in 1775 at Newmarket, with career winnings of over 5,600 Guineas. Retired to Clermont's stud after he broke down, he sired, among others, Young Mark Antony (1781); Anne (1779), dam of the racehorse and sire Mercutio, and her brother Curate (1780); the racehorses Rutland (1779) and Soho! (1789); siblings Fandango (1779) and the unnamed dam (178-) of racehorses Paynator and Jilt; and 1785 Derby winner Aimwell; the latter was the effective end of the Alcock Arabian sire line. |
Markham Arabian
This bay horse was sold to King James I by Gervase Markham in 1616, and has long been given pride-of-place as the first ancestor of the thoroughbred, generally because he was, for a long time, the first known documented oriental horse to be used in the royal studs, since he and his purported purchase price were described by William Cavendish, (1st) Duke of Newcastle, in his 1658 book on horses and horsemanship, La MÈthode Nouvelle et Invention Extraordinaire de Dresser Les Chevaux. C.M. Prior [History of the Royal Studs] has since made a case for this horse probably having been born in England, possibly by an imported sire and out of a mare of any number of possible lineages, but most likely Spanish or Italian barb. Although the Duke reported his purchase price was £500, the actual document shows his price to have been £165, which Prior points out would argue against him being a pricey import, the cost alone of bringing him to England at that time would have far exceeded that amount. Further, the Markham Arabian was "...trained up for a Course, when he came to Run, every Horse Beat him," which would have been more likely for the offspring of an imported horse, rather than a valuable breeding stallion. The Duke described him as a "...Little Horse and no Rarity for shape, for I have seen Many English Horses far Finer." Further, Prior has shown that horses derived from oriental bloodlines had been imported into England from well back into the previous century, both as gifts to the royal stud and as purchase, many from the famed Gonzaga studs near Mantua and the stud of the Duke of Savoy, and were primarily derived from North African barb stock and Andalusian genet breeding. Tracing the sparse documentation over the centuries, Prior makes a case for showing most of the so-called Royal Mares seen in the GSB were descendants of such horses, periodically augmented by additional gifts and purchases, and not necessarily all of oriental breeding, certainly not imported oriental breeding. A son of the Markham Arabian, Frisell, was apparently a stallion at the Tutbury royal stud in 1649. To date, no further information regarding his influence on the breed has surfaced. |
Marske
SIRE: Squirt - Bartlett's Childers - DARLEY ARABIAN. Darley Arabian Sire Line
DAM: The Ruby Mare by (Hutton's) Blacklegs - mare by Bay Bolton - mare by Fox Cub - mare by Coneyskins - mare by Hutton's Grey Barb - mare by Hutton's Royal Colt - mare by Byerley Turk - mare by Bustler - mare by a Barb - mare by Dodsworth.
Brown 1750. Bred by John Hutton, Marske Hall, Yorkshire and, as a foal, exchanged for a chestnut arabian with the Duke of Cumberland. Ran when Sedbury, Matchem, other good horses were on the turf. He won the Jockey Club Plate in 1754 at Newmarket in May, beating Pytho and Brilliant, and a 300 guineas match against Gower's Ginger in October there. In 1755 he was beaten by Brilliant and Syphon in a race at Newmarket, and apparently did not run the rest of that year. In 1756, at Newmarket, he was beaten in two successive 1,000 guineas matches against Snap (by Snip). Retired to the Cumberland stud until the Duke's death in 1765, when he was sold for a small sum, "...being considered a very indifferent stallion," later purchased by William Wildman for 20 guineas. When son Eclipse showed what he could do on the turf, Marske suddenly became "the most popular stallion in England," and was sold for 1,000 guineas to the Earl of Abingdon, who sent him to his stud. Although his fee increased to 100 guineas, he attracted a high class book of mares there. In addition to Eclipse, his best get included the excellent and popular sire Young Marske (see below); the good racehorses Narcissus (1771); Hephestion (1771, Jockey Club Plate, Craven Stakes); Leviathan (1771, later Mungo, also a good sire); Shark (1771, top racehorse, indifferent sire in England and sent to U.S. where he was successful as a broodmare sire), Pontac (sire of Derby winner Sir Thomas). His best daughters were Masquerade (1771), an outstanding racemare who beat the colts on many occasions; Desdemona (1770), dam of the racehorse Apothecary and third dam of Oaks and 1,000 Guineas winner Neva (1814); Magnolia (1771, Family 5), and Prosperine (1766, Family 12). Died in July of 1779.

Bay 1771. Bred by John Holmes of Yorkshire, raced (briefly) by Augustus Henry Fitzroy, (3rd) Duke of Grafton, sold to John Hutton who installed him at Marske Hall stud, Yorkshire, the birthplace of his famous sire. Lamed in his first race, but it did not stop a highly successful stud career and a long life; he died at age 29 in October of 1800. Among the more successful of his many offspring were a 1786 unnamed mare important in Family 7; Sylvia (1783), Catherine (1786) and Mary (1797) seen in different branches of Family 8; a 1785 mare seen in Family 16; Contessina (1787) in Family 19; Moorpout (1777, dam of Zanga and Sportsman) in Family 49; the racehorses and sires Ruler (1777, winner of the St. Leger), Fortitude (1778), Patriot (1787), and Shuttle (1793).

Chesntut 1778. Bred by Dennis O'Kelly out the great Tartar mare who also produced Whitenose, Volunteer and Queen Mab. Sold to the third Earl Egremont, for whom he ran as a moderately successful racehorse, in 1783 winning a 4 mile sweep at Basingstoke, placing third in the Craven Stakes at Newmarket, and winning a King's Plate at Lewes, in the latter beating Diomed, who broke down during that race. As a stallion at Egremont's seat, Petworth, he was a good sire of classic winners and other top racehorses, including Gohanna (1790, also sire); Hippolyta (1787, Oaks winner); Platina (1792, Oaks winner); Proteus (1788); Rogue (1792); Hermes (1790); Silver (1789, good racehorse, later sent to U.S.), and a dozen or so more. Often crossed on mares by Herod or his son, Woodpecker.

(Old) Merlin
SIRE: Bustler - HELMSLEY TURK.
DAM: Not Stated.
Bred by Sir Matthew Pierson of Yorkshire (breeder of the great Bay Bolton), and run by Pierson and/or his neighbor and racing confederate Sir William Strickland (breeder of Grey Hautboy, sire of Bay Bolton). Probably born about 1694 or earlier, since he was a stud at least as early as 1703, his earliest listed son (Bethell's) Castaway having been born in 1704. Won a famous match, after a "secret" trial, against an unnamed horse of Tregonwell Frampton's, possibly Spider or Poutz ("famous Newmarket horses"), at Newmarket, the date of the race unrecorded, but believed to have been run around 1702. The match has passed into racing legend, and is the subject of a verse, "Little Merlin," its importance lying in the vast sums that were wagered and lost, and in the rivalry between the northern supporters of Merlin and the southern supporters of his unnamed foe. Purportedly the ruinous effects on so many people who bet on this race spurred an Act of Parliament limiting the recovery of excessive sums bet upon horse racing. Merlin also ran against Bay Bolton at Newmarket, after the latter's sale to the Duke of Bolton, a race he lost. Retired to Strickland's stud. Sired the aforementioned Castaway, thus great-grandsire of the famous racemare Bald Charlotte (1721, Family 40) and her siblings; Woodcock (one of several with that name), and the foundation mare of Family 26. Probably also the sire of the foundation mare of Family 55.

SIRE: PULLEINE'S CHESTNUT ARABIAN.
DAM: Not Stated.
Chestnut c.1705. Stood in the stud of the fourth Earl Lindsey, later Duke of Ancaster (1716), whose seat was in Lincolnshire. Important in Family 28, where is his daughters are erroneously ascribed by some sources to (Old) Merlin. He sired the sisters Virgin (1712, dam of Miss Hip--racemare and ancestress of Emilius; the winning colt Grey Ward; and the unnamed ancestress of Lady Thigh) and the Darling Mare (17--, dam of the Turnstall mare), the sisters Sweetlips mare (17--, dam of Dainty by (Old) Pert) and Rusty mare (17--, dam of the racehorse and sire Young Pert, 1719, sometimes called Buckhunter). He is also early seen in Family 14, largely generated in the Ancaster stud, in the Merlin One-Eyed mare (1723) and Creeping Kate (1722). He also sired the racemare Miss Pert (1725) from the Musick Mare, also in the Ancaster stud. |

Grey 1780. Probably bred by Richard, (1st) Earl Grosvenor, who owned his sire and dam, although his breeding is sometimes credited to John Pratt of Askrigg, who was an original member of the Jockey Club. Sold to Thomas Bullock and ran for him 1783-1785, primarily in matches at distances around 2 1/2 miles, seldom more, beating such horses as Spectre and Pyrrhus. Imported into the U.S. in 1788 by a "Sir Thomas" Benger, who established a residence in Bristol, near Philadelphia; sold around 1793 to Henry Astor of New York, later owned in partnership, and then solely by Cornelilus Van Ranst. Recognized as a superior sire while still living, he was buried with great pomp on Long Island when he died at age 28. Sired the good race horses Tippoo Saib (1795), (Van Ranst's) Potomac and other colts. His nearly undefeated daughter, Miller's Damsel (1802) went on in the stud to produce American Eclipse (1814). Having inherited the ability to sire fast trotting and coach horses in the sire line back to Blaze, he eventually was recognized as the most important progenitor of the American Standardbred, (Rysdyk's) Hambletonian (1849) being a tail-male descendant who carred two other strains of Messenger. |
