Sire Line Godolphin Arabian.
Family 6-a.
Bred and raced by Fulke Greville of Wilbury House, in Wiltshire,
she was sold in 1761 to Lord Bolingbroke, for whom she ran her
final race of 1761 and her only race of 1762. Between 1759 and
1761, she won three races for 200 guineas
each at Newmarket.
In the stud
she produced her first two foals in 1757 and 1758. After the
interval on the turf she produced eleven foals, from 1763 to 1778. Among her
distinguished descendants was Eleanor (b f 1798

win both the Derby and Oaks Stakes. Priam (b c 1827 Emilius) and Phantom (b c
1808 Walton) were both Derby winners and Champion sires.
Sorcerer (bl c 1796 Comus)
was a Champion sire, and Langar (ch c 1817Selim) proved to be a worthy
stallion.
