  Coalition Colt (GB)
b c 1749 (Godolphin Arabian - Sister to Antelope, by Young Belgrade). Sire Line Godolphin Arabian. Family 18. The General Stud Book records the Coalition Colt as a foal of the Danger Mare.

Henry Spedding, then owner of Coalition Colt, said he was purchased the previous spring as a four-year old from his breeder, Sir Marmaduke Wyvill. His dam was not the Danger Mare to whom he is traditionally attributed. It is not clear whether Sister 1 and Sister 2 to Antelope are the same mare. Coalition Colt stood at Mr Spedding's, Castle Bellingham, Ireland, from 1752. He was advertised to cover as late as 1773 at Barris-In-Ossory. His offspring include Mr Doherty's Champion, Irish Hero and King's Plate winner Careless. He was twice champion sire in Ireland.
