Bred by T Dawson and exported to China in 1869 and from there he was imported into California. Hadley's Arab 1775c. Nothing is known about this horse other than that he sired a foundation mare of American Family a84 which still had descendants in the 1990s.

Very little is known about this horse other than that he appears to have belonged to the same Sir Edward who owned the Hales Turk. The Barb is mentioned in an article about Lord Wharton's Winchendon stud in Buckinghamshire by F M Prior. He is recorded as a stallion in a list of broodmares for 1706, "Goodman's mare very fleet Got by Sr Edward Hales his fine white Barbe came out of Fenick" [British Racehorse, August, 1956:201]. Hales Turk b c 1685c. The Turk was owned by Sir Edward Hales (1645-1695), 3rd bt of Woodchurch and Tunstall, Kent, a member of the House of Commons prior to the revolution of 1688. A follower of James II he was subsequently a member of his privy council, a lord of the admiralty and deputy governor of the Tower of London. During the revolution he was interred in the Tower but on his release joined James II in France where he was created Earl of Tenterden, Viscount Tunstall and Baron Hales of Emley in the Jacobite peerage. The Turk's single stud book offspring was the Oldfield Mare who heads Family 14. The Oldfield Mare appears to have been in the stud of Robert Bertie (1660-1723), 1st Duke of Ancaster, as all her known offspring were foaled at Grimsthorpe. Hall's Arabian ch c 1715c. Sire Line Hall's Arabian. Described as a fine barb stallion he covered in Yorkshire at the stud of Thomas Hall of Hornby, near Smeaton, for a fee of two guineas. He may be the same horse as Grand Cairo or Crofts Egyptian. His most notable offspring was Mr Heneage's Whitenose (b c 1722) who in turn sired Silvertail (b f 1737) the dam of the stallions Careless (ch c 1751 Regulus), Sportsman (b c 1753 Cade) and Fearnought* (b c 1755 Regulus) and from whom most of Family 32 descends.

He stood at the Curragh then moved to Newmarket for 1841 and then returned to the Curragh. He sired King Tom (b c 1851). Harlequin (USA) ch c 1800 (Gabriel* - Mare, by Venetian* - Mare, by Fitzhugh's True Whig - Mare by, McCarty's Cub - Mare, by Tayloe's Yorick - Thoroughbred mare*. Sire Line St Victor's Barb. Owned by General Philip Stewart of Maryland he sired the third dam of Betty Coons (ch f 1829 Hephestion). Harborough's Arabian 1815c. The Arabian was owned by Robert Sherard (1797-1859), 6th Earl Harborough, of Stapleford Park, near Melton Mowbray, in Leicestershire. He may have sired C M Phillipps's Camilla (f 1828), as the General Stud Book notes that she was by Sir Gilbert or Harborough's Arabian [GSB 5:46]. She is the ancestress of the American stallion Flying Dutchman (ch c 1892 Wagner) and two Alberta Derby winners: Franks Mistake (br c 1945 Osiris) and Flying Joe (br c 1951 Goldstream). Harpham Arabian c 1690c. Sire Line Harpham Arabian. Harpur's Barb c 1690c. Sire Line Harpur's Barb. Harrison's Arabian gr c 1720c. The Arabian was probably owned by Edward Harrison (1674-1732), governor of Madras from 1711 to 1717, MP for Hertford after his return to England, and postmaster general from 1725 to 1732. His daughter Audrey married Charles Townshend (1700-1764), 3rd Viscount Townshend, lord of the bedchamber to King George I, in 1723. His "pearl-coloured" Arabian covered at Hampton Court and sired an unnamed mare, one of the foundation mares of Family 101 (Slugey), which produced two branches in America. The first, through Queen Mab* (gr f 1745c Mosco's Grey Arabian), included Hopper's Pacolet (gr c 1750c Spark) and Hayne's King Herod (b c 1768 Fearnought). The second, through Moore's Britannia* (b f 1750 Hampton Court Dun Barb), included Ashe's Roebuck (br c 1780c Sweeper). Another daughter produced the good runner Maggot (gr c 1750 Dismal), winner of fifties at Bury, Brentwood, Marlborough, Coventry and Ipswich during a turf career that spanned six years. Despite being "hip-shot from a foal" Maggot was described as standing 14 hands 3 inches and having great strength, "just symmetry" as well as health and soundness. He retired to the stud in Suffolk at Bury St Edmonds where he covered for a fee of 1 guinea. Maggot left no offspring in the stud book. A third daughter was the grandam of both Young Brilliant (ch c 1766 Brilliant) and John Knevett's Gander (ch c 1768 Panton's Arabian). Young Brilliant was described as a beautiful, handsomely marked chesnut standing full 15 hands. He appears to have performed poorly in his only race, finishing fourth of four for a fifty at Thetford in 1770, after which he was sent to the stud. He covered for Isaac Jacob at the New Swan in Southwold for a fee of 1 guinea. Gander had more success on the turf with victories in fifties at Brentwood and Maidenhead in 1771 and at Ludlow in 1772. Said to be perfectly sound, stand 15 and one-half hands with very large bone, and to be as fine a horse as any by those who had seen him, he covered at Eye, Suffolk, for a fee of 1 guinea. Neither Young Brilliant nor Gander left any descendants on the turf. Hartington (GB)* b c 1859 (Voltigeur - Countess of Burlington, by Touchstone). Sire Line King Fergus. Family 7-b.

Bred in Yorkshire by Leonard Hartley of Middleton Tyas, near Richmond, he was influential in the stud. Mr Prior estimates his year of birth at about 1712 [ER:36]. He has offspring recorded in the stud book from 1718 to 1740. Among others, he sired Hutton's Spot (gr c 1728) a well patronised and successful stallion, Crofts's Forester (ch c 1736) also a prominent stallion, Mother Neasham (b f 1720) the venerable winner of no less than five Kipling Coates plates, Sachrissa (ch f 1729) the dam of Babraham (b c 1738 Godolphin Arabian), and the unnamed taproot mare of Family 67.

Francis Augustus Eliott (1750-1813), 2nd Baron Heathfield, of Bayley (later Heathfield) Park in Sussex engaged in a military career during which he advanced to the rank of general in 1808. He maintained a small stud for about ten years at the beginning of the 19th century with mares mainly from a Hampton Court background.

He sired Hector* (br c 1768c). Hector [Old] c 1800c. Sire Line Hector. The identity of Old Hector has not been established with any certainty and in fact he may have been one horse, or several, with the same name. Around 1806 he was imported into New South Wales from India by R Campbell of Sydney. Although he was said to have been advertised as a Persian he was also said to have been a fine Arabian, an India-bred, and an English thoroughbred, the latter based on his size and character. Standing nearly sixteen hands, he was described as a very fine bay of commanding appearance who transmitted remarkable gameness and stoutness to his stock. He died in 1829 around the end of December.

He maintained a small racing establishment from about 1710 to 1720 with his most successful runner probably being Ruffler (later Sir William Morgan's) who defeated the Duke of Wharton's Desdemona (f 1714 Greyhound) at Newmarket in 1719.

Lord Hillsborough's Turk sired only one known offspring, Sir William Morgan's unnamed colt (ch c 1722) from a Leedes Mare at Hampton Court. The colt had no descendants.

Hog (GB) [Bristol's] c 1690c. Sire Line Bristol's Hog. 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" [GSB1:10], while the Turf Register says Hog was "from the kind of Hautboy" [Pick1:35], 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. Holderness Turk 1705c. Sire Line Holderness Turk. The Holderness Turk was sent to England by Sir Robert Sutton (1671-1746), ambassador in Constantinople from 1702 to 1717 during the reigns of Queen Anne and King George I. Sir Robert was the great nephew of Robert Sutton (1594-1668), 1st Baron Lexington. Lord Lexington's daughter Bridget was the mother of Robert Darcy (1681-1722), 3rd Earl of Holderness, of Hornby Castle, Yorkshire. The Turk was given to Lord Holderness, from whom he presumably gained his name. Elizabeth, sister of Lord Holderness, married Sir Ralph Milbanke (1689-1748), 4th bt, of Halnaby, Yorkshire. Probably the most famous of his offspring was Hartley's Blind Horse (ch c 1712c, produced by Milbanke's Black Mare), a well patronised stallion and sire of Hutton's Spot (gr c 1728), Crofts's Forester (ch c 1736) and Sachrissa (ch f 1729) the dam of Babraham (b c 1738 Godolphin Arabian). Another son, Old Royal (c 1715c), got the celebrated Bald Charlotte (ch f 1721), ancestress of the hugely successful branch of Family 40 in America that included Boston (ch c 1833 Timoleon). An unnamed son sired the good winner Ticklepitcher (ch c 1722).

Bred by Mr Milbanke and imported by Dr James Tate of Philadelphia between 1800 and 1805. Honeycomb Punch c 1692c (Taffolet Barb - Honeycomb Punch's Dam). Sire Line Taffolet Barb. Family 33. 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 Newmarket2:225]. 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]. Honywood's Arabian [Honeywood`s Arabian] gr c 1695c. Sire Line Honywood's Arabian. The General Stud Book notes that he was more frequently called the Honywood Arabian but was also called Sir J Williams's Turk [GSB 1:391] whilst the Turf Register says he the property of Sir John Williams ... who sold him to Mr Turner of Suffolk, who disposed of him to Mr Honywood [Pick 1:91]. Sir John Williams (1670c-1743) of Stoke by Nayland, Suffolk, knighted in 1713, was a director of the South Sea Company from 1711 to 1713, alderman of London in 1723, sheriff in 1729-30, and Lord Mayor in 1735-36. A wealthy London merchant with influence on the "Turkey trade," he married Mary, daughter of Richard Onslow (1654-1717), 1st Baron Onslow, the latter a speaker of the House of Commons, and sometime owner of Warton's Commoner (gr c 1710c Crofts Commoner). Sir Charles Turner (1666-1738), 1st bt of Warham, Norfolk, knighted in 1696 and created baronet in 1727, was MP for King's Lynn from 1695 to 1728 and married Mary, sister of Sir Robert Walpole, the first prime minister. Sir Charles may have been the owner of Turner's Star (b c 1736 Curzon's Brisk). Sir Philip Honywood (1677-1752) of Marks Hall, Essex, an army officer who attained the rank of major-general with a regiment called Honywood's Dragoons (now the 11th Hussars), was, for his services in Spain, appointed governor of Portsmouth in 1740. Sir Philip kept a small racing stable from the turn of the 18th century to around 1730. A descendant, Sir J Honywood, also had a small stud at the end of the century. Honeywood's Arabian sired True Blue (gr c 1710), winner of the York Royal Plate in 1716, and Young True Blue (gr c 1718), winner of the same in 1724.
