c 1715c. Sire Line Chandos' Turk. James Brydges (1673-1744), 1st Duke of Chandos and Marquess of Carnarvon, was a member of parliament from 1698 to 1714 and held the office of paymaster general of forces abroad. He built the imposing Canons Park, near Edgeware, Middlesex, and enjoyed Handel as his resident composer. Having lost his fortune, the original Canons was demolished around 1744 and parts of it were sold to reduce his debt. Another residence was erected later, presumably that which was home to the relative of Dennis O'Kelly, who was custodian of Eclipse (ch c 1764 Marske) in his final years. The Duke's father, James, 8th Lord Chandos of Sudeley, was ambassador at Constantinople and may have arranged the purchase of the Turk, or he may have been acquired through the Duke's son, the Honourable and Reverend Henry Brydges, a friend of Thomas Darley. In a letter written from Aleppo in 1705 Thomas informs his brother John that he has requested Henry Brydges to accompany the Darley Arabian to England on the ship Ipswich. In the stud the Chandos' Turk left the Royal Plate winner Mr Shepherd's Dashwood (b c 1727). In 1732 Dashwood won the Royal Plate at Ipswich, beating Mr Panton's Leadenheels (b c 1725 Childers), Lord Halifax's Robin (b c 1727 King's Grey Arabian), Sir M Newton's Brisk and three others in three heats.

Chesterfield Arabian
[Chesterfield White Barb] gr c 1703c. He was probably owned by Philip Stanhope (1633-1713), 2nd Earl of Chesterfield.

Highlander was later a stallion at Hampton Court. Lord Chesterfield also owned the Stanhope mare of Family 32 who was the dam of Lord Godolphin's Sophy (b c 1729 Matthew's Persian).

Coombe Arabian
[Combe Arabian, Pigot Arabian, Bolingbroke Grey Arabian] gr c 1760c. According to the General Stud Book "The COOMBE ARABIAN (sometimes called the Pigot Arabian, and sometimes the Bolingbroke Grey Arabian), was the sire of Methodist, the dam of Crop, etc." [GSB 1:393]. George Pigot (1719-1777) was created Baronet in 1764 after his return to England and Baron Pigot of Patshull in Dublin in 1766. After an career with the East India Company he represented Wallingford and later Bridgenorth in parliament and is said to have paid £100,00 for the Patshull estate in Staffordshire. Under the name of the Pigot Arabian the horse covered in Huntingdonshire, at Chesterton Hall near Stilton, in 1770 and 1771 for a fee of 10 guineas. A later Pigot Grey Arabian (gr c 1795c) covered at Patshull in the early 1800s. There is no explanation for the name Coombe (or Combe). The word coombe, meaning a small valley or a hollow, is commonly used in the south of England but has no known connection with this Arabian. Nevertheless under the name of the Coombe Arabian he covered in Northamptonshire at Pooksley-Green from 1772 to 1776 whilst his fee declined from 10 guineas to 5 guineas. Frederick St John (1732-1789), 2nd Viscount Bolingbroke of Lydiard Park near Swindon, Wiltshire was a notable turf supporter in the second half of the seventeenth century and more than one Arabian carries his name. It is possible that the Bolingbroke Grey Arabian is the same horse as the otherwise unidentified Bolingbroke Arabian. Having been fairly well patronised the Coombe Arabian had over 25 offspring perhaps the most famous of whom was Methodist (gr c 1768) the winner of numerous matches and the King's Plate at Newmarket for Lord Orford in 1771. None of his sons bred on. One of his daughters (gr f 1768) had more success, she being the ancestress of the Preis der Diana winner La Stella (b f 1863 Mountain Deer).

b c 1786 (Pot8os - Lavender, by King Herod). Sire Line Pot8os. Family 4. He sired Hyacinthus (ch c 1797).

Cornwallis Arabian
c 1800c. He was possibly owned by Charles Cornwallis (1738-1805), 1st Marquess of Cornwallis and probably covered at Hampton Court during the reign of King George III (1738-1820). He sired an unnamed colt (ch c 1813) belonging to Mr Boultbee and the Mount Falcon Arabian (gr c 1810c) belonging to John-Frederic Knox of Mount Falcon, high sheriff of Mayo and Sligo. The Mount Falcon Arabian was from an Arabian mare who was presented to Charles Dillon-Lee (1745-1813), 12th Viscount Dillon, of Quarendon, Buckinghamshire, by King George. Lord Dillon later gave him to Mr Knox. The Mount Falcon Arabian died in Ireland in 1832.

Cornwall's Arabian
c 1735c. Owned by Velters Cornwall, turf supporter and owner of the good runner Jason (gr c 1749 Old Standard) and the stallion Blind Spot (gr c 1735c Chaplin's Spot), he sired only one stud book entry, Mr Brooks's Rainbow (ch c 1752) who won fifties at Chipping-Norton in 1756 and at Tetbury and Northampton in 1757.

He also got the stallions Wood's Counsellor (c 1710c) and White Stockings (ch c 1710).

Counsellor (GB)
[Wood's] c 1710c (Darcy's Counsellor - Mare, by Makeless - Sir Hugh Cholmondeley's Barb Mare. Sire Line Shaftesbury Turk. Bred by John Egerton he sired Thunderbolt (gr c 1723). The General Stud Book records his year of birth as 1694 [GSB 1: 379] however he was likely foaled closer to 1710 as he has offspring as late as 1735. He was advertised to cover at Beedle for a fee of 1 guinea in 1730-31. His daughter, Sister to Thunderbolt (f 1720c), was among the foundation mares of Family 19.

Count Orloff
b c 1769c. Presented to Sir Horatio Mann (1744-1814), 2nd bt Mann, by Count Alexey Grigoryevich Orlov, who maintained an extensive stud in Russia, Count Orloff was described as bay Arabian of the highest racing blood, of great bone, free from blemish and perfectly sound. One of three horses (the other two being Ali Bey and the Orlov Arabian) who were sent to England by Count Orlov, he covered at Cottesmore in Rutlandshire for a fee of 10gs. In the stud he got Mr Whitfield's unnamed mare (1780) who has no further record.

Coxe's Arabian
[Cox's Arabian] ch c 1810c. Imported into America by special permission of the Bey of Tunis in 1816 by the American Consul Charles D Coxe, he was said to stand 15 and one quarter hands and be of the highest caste. He stood the 1820 season in Cincinnati, Ohio. He sired several winners, including Bey of Tunis and Mahomet although his most enduring contribution was his unnamed daughter who became a foundation mare of American Family a89 which still had descendants in the 1990s.

He sired eight known offspring. Neither of his two colts bred on. His daughters fared slightly better with Mr Elstob's Cripple Barb Mare (f 1710c) of Family 4 the dam of the good stallion Cartouch (c 1717c Bald Galloway) and her sister the dam of Hodge's Centurion (c 1725c Conyers Arabian Colt). Lusty Thornton (ch f 1710c) was a foundation mare of Family 2.

Crofts Egyptian
c 1710c. His background is not known although it is possible that he was the same horse as the "fine Barb" stallion called Grand Cairo who was included in a sale as part of the stud of the late Thomas Hall in 1726. In 1732 Mr Crofts "Ægyptian Horse" was advertised to cover at Witton Castle, near Bishop-Auckland in Durham, for a fee of 1 guinea. He was described a strong, well-shaped stallion and sired 10 known offspring between 1725 and 1730. None of his sons were named or bred on. One of his unnamed daughters was the ancestress of the St Leger winner The Duchess [ex-Duchess of Leven] (b f 1813 Cardinal York) and the Chester Cup winner King Cole (b c 1833 Memnon). She was also the 3rd dam of Mr Holme's stallion Barrock Billy (ch c 1753 Cade). Although he was never on the turf, Barrock Billy, described as standing 15 hands, master of any weight, and going as well "upon his legs as any horse in England," entered the stud at Barrockside, near Carlisle, for a fee of 1 guinea.

c 1675c. He was the property of the famous Henry Curwen (1661-1725) of Workington, Cumberland, who owned and bred a great many horses including the notable Curwen's Bay Barb (b c 1681c). There is speculation that Curwen's Arabian may be the same horse as Pelham's Bay Arabian who was also called Spanker (b c 1675c Darcy's Yellow Turk). He sired the Vintner Mare (bl f 1685c), taproot mare of Family 9.

Curwen's Bay Barb
b c 1681c. Sire Line Curwen's Bay Barb.

Curwen's Grey Morocco Barb
gr c 1690c. He may possibly be the same horse as Curwen's Grey Turk. Owned by Henry Curwen, he sired the 5th dam of Mr Pembroke's Aimwell (gr c 1750 Babraham) [Pond 1754:149]. The Racing Calendar also indicates that Curwen's Grey Morocco Barb sired the 5th dam of Aimwell [Heber:1755]. However, according to the Turf Register, the 5th dam of Aimwell was sired by Lord Fairfax's Grey Morocco Barb [Pick 1:156]. The 5th dam of Aimwell may possibly be Sir William Strickland's Grey Morocco Barb Mare, who is recorded in the General Stud Book as a daughter of Leedes Arabian Mare "sister to Leedes, sometimes called Cream Cheeks" [GSB 1:12], although it should be noted that the pedigree of Aimwell lacks the cross to the Old Morocco Mare. Another Curwen Barb Mare exerted considerable influence in America as the dam of the worthy stallion Monkey* (b c 1725 Lonsdale Arabian) and her other son, Hazard (b c 1726 Leedes), sired Liberty (b c 1749) whose daughter was the 2nd dam of the good stallion Mousetrap* (b c 1771 Warren's Careless).

Curwen's Grey Turk
gr c 1690c. He was also owned by Henry Curwen and was the sire of three known offspring, including Flanderkin (c 1707) and his sister (f 1695c) the latter the third dam of Cuthbert Routh's York Gold Cup winner Hanniball (c 1713 Terror). An unnamed daughter foaled perhaps his most famous descendant, Mr Bathurst's North Country Diamond (ch c 1726 Jew Trump). Diamond won numerous plates and prizes in a turf career that spanned six years and covered both the north and south of England and was later a somewhat successful stallion getting an unnamed mare (f 1730c) who was a foundation mare of Family 32.

Curzon's Grey Barb
gr c 1735c. He was owned by Sir Nathaniel Curzon (1676-1758) 4th bt of Kedleston, Derbyshire, who bred and raced many horses in his day, notably Jason (gr c 1749 Old Standard) and Silverleg (ch c 1743 Young Cartouch). His wife Mary was the daughter of Sir Ralph Assheton of Lancashire, the owner of Fox (b c 1714 Clumsey) and Fox Cub (b c 1714 Clumsey). The Barb sired three colts recorded in the General Stud Book although none of them had any success on the turf or in the stud.

Cygnet (GB)
gr c 1751 (Godolphin Arabian - Godolphin Blossom, by Crab). Sire Line Godolphin Arabian. Family 6.
