Lamprie gr c 1716 (Grey
Hautboy - Mare, by Makeless).
Sire Line Darcy's
White Turk. Family 37. His name was also spelled Lamprey
and Lampere. Although the General Stud Book gives his year
of birth as 1715 his racing record indicates that he was born in
1716. He was bred by Sir Matthew Pearson at Lowthorpe, near Bridlington
in Yorkshire, who also bred his full-brother, the Champion Sire
Bay Bolton (br c 1705). He
was later sold to Thomas Panton, Mr. F. Neale and Sir William Morgan.
Although he got some excellent
runners, Lamprie was "unfortunately killed" just as he
was coming into prominence as a stallion. His son Young Lamprie,
sired the Irish stallion Ground Ivy (b c 1737).

Race Record |
| In 1721 Lamprie won a match
at newmarket, beating the Duke of Somerset's mare. According to
some sources this same year he won the King's Plate at Lewes, however,
it seems more likely that this occurred in 1722. |
| In May of 1722 he won a 200
guineas match at Newmarket, defeating the Duke of Somerset's Whitelips
(b f 1718 Bald Galloway), conceding her a stone over four miles.
The same year he won the King's Plate at Lewes, beating Mr. Cotton's
Grey Ovington (gr c 1718 Bald Galloway) and three others. Starting
for Mr. Neale in October he won the King's Plate at Newmarket, beating
Mr. Duncombe's Hazard [ex-Dart] (ch c 1715 Bald Galloway) along
with four others. He was then sold to Sir William Morgan. |
| In April of 1723 he won the
King's Plate at Newmarket, beating six others. |
| In April of 1724 he won a 200
guineas match at Newmarket, beating Lord Milsington's Rake (b c
1715 Greyhound), conceding two pounds. Two weeks later, still at
Newmarket, he collected a 100 guineas forfeit from Rake. The same
day he collected another 100 guineas forfeit from Lord Milsington's
celebrated Buckhunter (ch g 1713 Bald
Galloway), who was later known as the Carlisle Gelding. The following
October he won a 200 guineas match at Newmarket from Lord Tankerville's
famous Sophonisba (ch f 1717 Dyer's Dimple). |
| In April of 1725 Lamprie won
a 40 guineas match at Newmarket from Mr. Grisewood's Puzzle (gr g),
conceding a stone. Still at Newmarket in October, he defeated the
worthy Sophonisba, now owned by Lord Halifax, a second time, on
this occasion conceding six pounds. Lamprie did not start in either
1726 or 1727. |
| In 1728 he lost the Gold Cup
at Warwick to Lord Essex's Smiling Ball (ch c Merlin) at equal
weights. He then lost a 50 guineas Plate at Leighton, after which
