Other Notable Offspring

br c 1755 (Sampson - Mare, by Young Greyhound). Sire Line Darley Arabian. Family 36. Engineer was bred by William Fenton of Glass House, near Leeds. The General Stud Book records his year of birth as 1756, although his race results indicate he was born in 1755. In 1760 he won a £50 Maiden Plate at Malton, beating Mr Wentworth's Maria, Mr Witty's Skidby (Changeling), Mr Foster's Whisk (Sampson) and Mr Brandling's Nothing (Whitenose) in three heats. He then won the £255 Subscription Purse at York, beating Mr Dixon's Pangloss, Mr Naylor's Sally, Mr Warren's Fearnought and Sir Richard Grosvenor's Raphael, over four miles. In March of 1761 he won more than £50 at Newmarket, beating Mr Stamford's Chicken (Whittington) and Mr Duggin's Starling (Whitenose), over the Beacon Course. At Newmarket, October, he won a 500 guineas each sweepstakes, beating Lord Grosvenor's Pangloss, with the Duke of Cumberland's Dapper paying a forfeit, over the Beacon Course. At the same meeting he won the King's Plate, beating Mr Shafto's Apollo, who won the first heat, in three heats. In August of 1762 he placed 2nd in the Subscription Purse at York, his first defeat, won by Mr Wentworth's Skipjack, beating Mr Lister's Second and Mr Turner's Bachelor. His loss was blamed on the jockey's orders which took him out in front too early leaving him tired at the end. Skipjack was said to have won with difficulty. In April of 1763 he placed 3rd in the Jockey Club Plate at Newmarket to Mr Greville's Dorimond and Sir John Moore's Well-Done (South), beating Lord Bolingbroke's Horatius, the Duke of Kingston's Traplin, Lord Portmore's Bosphorus and Mr Warren's Fearnought.

In August of 1764 he tied for 3rd place at York with Elephant, beaten by Beaufremont and Yorkshire Jenny, beating Dorimond and Dumplin.  In 1765 he won £50 at Scarborough, beating Mr Stanhope's Freeholder (Regulus), Mr Halls' Nimrod (Tartar), Mr Pearson's Smallbones (Spanking Roger) and Mr Stapleton's Carlton (Regulus) in four heats, with Engineer winning the final two. In May of this year he placed 3rd to Narcissus and Flylax for the Jockey Club Plate at Newmarket, and in August at York he placed 4th to Antinous, Le Sang and Zar, beating Rouzer and Beaufremont. Engineer stood for several years at Mr Ayrton's near Malton, and also in Lord Rockingham's stud. His outstanding son was Mambrino, although he got some good race horses, such as King's Pate winner Fireworker, and the good plater Black Tom. A number of his daughters gained distinction in the stud.
