Sire Line Darcy's
White Turk. Family
37. Bred by
Sir Mathew Pearson at Lowthorpe, near Bridlington in Yorkshire,
he was first named Brown Lusty. He was later sold to the
Duke of Bolton who called him Bay Bolton. Pick describes
him as "eminent both for his figure and running, and
likewise as an excellent stallion". His stud
career was a great success. He sired the Champion Sire Bolton
Starling (gr c 1727). His son Fearnought
was considered to be one of the best runners at Newmarket
in his day. His daughter Gipsey (f 1725) became the second
dam of Old Snap (br c 1750),
a Champion Sire four times. His most important offspring
was probably Bonny Lass (b f 1723), the taproot mare of
Family 1-a. His influence
was also felt in America. Through Bolton Starling he founded
a sire line that would culminate with the American-bred
Bay Yankee (b c 1798). His son Bolton Looby (br c 1723)
sired Tryal* (ch c 1742), whose daughters became the foundation
matriarchs of American Families A13 and A18; and Bolton
Sloven (br c 1718) sired Beau* (ch c 1731), a horse much
liked by colonial American breeders. During
his stud career he was a Champion Sire seven times between
1724 and 1734. He died at Bolton Hall, Bedale, Yorkshire,
in 1736. He is said to have been buried "with his shoes
on at the top of the avenue opposite the Hall, at Bolton,
between the large stone pillars, on Middleham High Moor".

Race
Record |
| At five,
racing for Sir Matthew Pierson he won Queen Anne's Gold Cup at
York in his first start. Pick makes note of his
extraordinary victory over eight six-year
olds, given the quality of the field
[Pick1:4].
He followed that with a victory in the Great Subscription Purse at Middleham Moor and
a prize at Quainton Meadow.
Running
for the Duke of Bolton at Newmarket, Bay Bolton won a match
against Old Wyndham (gr
c
Hautboy), owned by the Duke of Somerset.
In his next match he defeated Sir
M. Pierson's Old Merlin.
He then won two matches against
Dragon, owned by Mr. Tregonwell Frampton. |

Mare, the ancestress of most of Family

9.
He was bred in Yorkshire by Charles Paulet, 3rd Duke of
Bolton. According to the General Stud Book "Partner
and Sloven were the same age, and Partner twice beat Sloven
when they were matched" [GSB1:8]. However, according
to the Turf Register Partner (1718) beat Sloven
"allowing him 10l for the year" [Pick1:14]. Baily's Racing
Register notes that Sloven first ran as a five year
old in 1724. In
May of 1724 he lost a match at Newmarket to Croft's
Partner (ch c 1718 Jigg)
and in May of 1726 he lost another match to Partner. In
April of 1729 he won a 500 guineas match at Newmarket against
Mr. Panton's Thunderbolt over four miles. He also won the
Annual Prize at Farndon and 20 guineas at Oswestry. In the
stud he got Young Coquette, who contributed to Family
44, along with the good stallion Beau* (ch c 1731). |

Line Darcy's

30.
Bred in Yorkshire by Charles Paulet (1685-1754), 3rd Duke
of Bolton, he was a full brother to Bolton Looby. In 1732
he won a 200 guineas match at Newmarket, beating the Duke
of Devonshire's Brown George over four miles. In 1733 he won
the King's Plate at York, beating Mr. Watson's Coneyskins,
Mr. Clarke's True Blue, Captain Appleyard's Quiet Cuddy, Mr.
Shepherd's Dashwood and four others. Mr. Pick notes that but
for being the same age as the Duke's
Bolton Starling (gr c
1727) he would have doubtlessly won more races [Pick1:35]. |
