  Hog (GB)
[Bristol's] c 1690c. Owned by John Hervey, 1st Earl of Bristol, of Ickworth, Sussex. The General Stud Book notes that Lord Bristol's Hog was "of the Hautboy sort" [GSB 1:10], while the Turf Register says Hog was "from the kind of Hautboy" [Pick 1:35], suggesting that his dam was by Hautboy. His sire has not been identified. Mentioned in Lord Bristol's diary is the note that in November of 1698 his Hog beat a horse named Headpiece whereby his lordship won 450 guineas. His account book records that in March of 1697 he purchased Hog from Mr Bourchier, of Beningbrough Hall, near York, for 120 guineas [Royal Studs:192]. His only offspring appears to have been Hog Mare, a foundation mare of Family 30, and the dam of Golden Locks and Sister to Golden Locks, who between them produced Bolton Looby (br c 1728 Bay Bolton), Syphax (bl c 1727 Bay Bolton), Gentleman (gr c 1723 Alcock's Arabian), Ancaster Creeper (ch c 1733 Cinnamon) and others.

When owned by Sir George Warburton, he is said to have won a four mile match worth £300 at Newmarket in April of 1699 [History of the Racing Calendar and Stud-Book:14]. An alternate version of this match is described in The Post Man, April 15/18, which states that the King watched a "Match between Honeycumpunch and a Horse of Sir George Warbleton's; they run 4 mile for £300 and although the odds ran 2 to 1 of Sir George's side, Honeycumpunch won the Match, but a great deal might be said in favour of Sir George's Horse, upon account of the new distemper" [History of Newmarket 2:225]. Honeycomb Punch was probably acquired by Lord Godolphin at some point before or during 1699, as in a letter from Lord Godolphin to Lord Lonsdale, written that year, Godolphin offers Honeycomb Punch to Lonsdale. He describes him as "a perfect good horse, and of a competent speed, gott by a Barb, and extreamly well shaped and very well limbed" [History of the Racing Calendar and Stud Book:14]. There is no record of whether Lord Lonsdale accepted the horse. In the stud, his best known offspring was Spark, although he also got Mr Frampton's Hobler Mare, the dam of Miss Tredegar (f 1710 Little Mountain Barb). John Hervey (1665-1750), 1st Earl of Bristol, recorded in his Letter-book that on March 3, 1702-3, Vane beat Hobler in a match [Royal Studs:208].
