Muley
b c 1810 (Orville
- Eleanor, by Whiskey). Sire Line
Beningbrough.
Family 6-a. Bred in
Suffolk by Sir Charles Bunbury (1740-1821), 6th
Baronet, Barton Hall, Muley was the third foal
from his own splendid mare Eleanor (b f 1798
Whiskey) with whom
he had won both the Oaks and the Derby. At the end of
his turf career Muley was sold
to Edward Harbord (1781-1835), 3rd Baron
Suffield, whose country seat was in Norfolk.
A son of
the substantial stayer
Orville,
he was said to have "larger bone and greater
muscular power than any thoroughbred stallion in
England." He raced for only one year,
exclusively at Newmarket, winning three of his
four starts and then retired to the stud of
Alexander Nowell of Underley where he covered as
a private stallion. Mr Nowell was the breeder
of the St Leger winner Margrave (ch c 1829
Muley) and the Oaks winner Variation (b f 1827
Bustard) among others.
In the
stud he got three classics winners: the Derby
winner Little Wonder, the St Leger winner
Margrave and the Oaks winner Vespa although he
is probably better known as the sire of
Muley Moloch
who got the celebrated
Alice
Hawthorn (b f 1838).
