| According to the General Stud Book the pedigree given for Young
Sir Peter Mare may have been fabricated. She is recorded in the stud
book as such: "YOUNG SIR PETER MARE (son of
Doge) MARE,
Her dam by Engineer - Wilson's Arabian - Hutton's Spot - Mogul - Crab -
B. Bolton - Curwen Barb - Spot - White-legged Lowther Barb - Vintner
Mare.

This
pedigree was stated by Mr Baker of Elemore Hall and Mr Butler to have
been invented. The Rev. Mr Perceval of Acomb bred all these colts, and
they were sold to Mr Baker and Sir F. Boynton as half-breds, and won
many half-bred races.
Mr Baker's entry of QUILTER was by Standard,
dam by Sir Peter Pellet (son Espersykes), out of a well-bred mare
(pedigree unknown); but the above pedigree is quite possible.
*SPITFIRE was the grandam of Muley
Moloch". [GSB1:354]
While in these cases it is
impossible to know the motives or sincerity of all parties involved, the
fact that the General Stud Book made note of it is significant.
The family of Spitfire produced
many distinguished horses and it may be desired to maintain accord with
traditional Bruce Lowe and Bobinski family numbers. The Sir Peter Pellet
Mare (previously said to be Young Sir Peter Mare) should probably be
considered a co-taproot mare of Family 9-c.
Also, since Sir Peter Pellet was
later called Milfield, the co-taproot mare should probably be called
Milfield Mare. The family table would appear thus:
Milfield Mare (f Milfield
[ex-Sir Peter Pellet]) ..... 9-c
Spitfire (b f 1800 Beningbrough)
Nancy (b f 1813 Dick Andrews)
Muley Moloch (br c 1830 Muley)
Muliana (br f 1831 Muley) |
