Lath (GB)*
[Protector] b c 1763 (Shepherd's Crab - Devonshire Crazy, by Lath). Sire Line Alcock's Arabian. Family 9-a. In the General Stud Book [GSB 1:69] Lath is credited to the Ancaster Crazy however as she and Shepherd's Crab were both chestnut they could not have produced the bay Lath. The General Stud Book does credit the Devonshire Crazy with an unnamed bay colt by Shepherd`s Crab in 1763. Bred by Mr Vernon he was imported by James Delancey of New York in 1768. The American Stud Book thought that he could not have been imported that year as he ran in England in 1770, at Warwick, however the race cited by Bruce occurred in Warwick Maryland, not Warwick England.

Layton Grey Barb (GB)
gr c 1690c. (Rockwood). Sire Line Darcy's White Turk. In the pedigree of Williams's Squirrel recorded in the General Stud Book this stallion is called Son of Pulleine's Arabian [GSB 1:1]. Highflyer presents evidence that this son was also sometimes known as the Layton Grey Barb. He is possibly the same horse as the Rockwood Colt who appears in the pedigrees of Hutton's Wormwood and Cottingham. In the stud he got three mares. (1) The dam of Young Violet Layton (f 1715c Darcy's Chesnut Arabian) who had descendants appear in the stud book for two more generations.

Lexington's Grey Arabian
[Lexington's Turk] gr c 1715c. We speculate that he was the same horse as Stahremberg's Turk. The Lexington Arabian was probably owned by Sir Robert Sutton (1662-1723), 2nd Baron Lexington of Averham (called Aram), Nottinghamshire, Gentleman of the Horse to Princess Anne and ambassador to Vienna and Madrid, who maintained a seat at Averham Park, Nottinghamshire. The horse may have been one of several sent to England over the span of a few years by his great-nephew Sir Robert Sutton (1671-1746), a politician and diplomat who served as ambassador to Constantinople from 1702 to 1717. He is known to have sent a mare to the Duke of Newcastle in 1709 and to have also given the Holderness Turk to Robert Darcy (1681-1721), 3rd Earl of Holderness. Lexington's Arabian had only one recorded offspring, an unnamed mare, said to have been bred by Charles Powlett (1685-1754), 3rd Duke of Bolton, who produced both the Bolton Fearnought (br c 1725 Bay Bolton) and his brother. He may also have been the Duke of Bolton's "Turk", sire of the famous Bolton Moorhen (gr f 1724). Moorhen won plates at Hambleton and Bedale in 1728, defeating Mr Gallant's Young Smiling Tom (gr c 1724 Smiling Tom) in the latter. She also finished 2nd to Mr Egerton's Nanny (gr f 1724 Pigot Turk) for the King's Plate at Hambleton, and 4th for a plate at Middleham in 1729. After the death of Lord Lexington the Arabian may have been acquired by Graf Konrad Sigismund von Stahremberg (1689-1727), the Austro-Hungarian ambassador to England in 1720. The count was noticed attending races at Newcastle in 1724 along with the Duke of Devonshire, Earl of Godolphin, Lord Finch and the Duke of Rutland. Stahremberg's Turk sired one unnamed daughter, the second dam of Lady Northumberland's 1758 Hambleton Royal Plate winner Irene (br f 1753 Cade), who was from a Patriot Mare "bought of the Duke of Bolton" [Pick 1:466]. Irene left no offspring in the stud book. Following the death of von Stahremberg the horse, "lately the Duke of Bolton's," was advertised in 1728 and 1729 by John Storzaker to cover at Hutton-Conyers, near Ripon, Yorkshire, for a fee of 1 guinea. He was described as a fine, strong horse, standing nearly 15 hands, and free from blemish. Whilst in Mr Storzaker's stud he got Mr Peter's minor winner Swad (ch c 1730 Bolton's Turk). Swad was later advertised to cover at Ripon for a fee of 2 guineas.

Lexington (USA)
[Taylor's] gr c 1793 (Symme's Wildair - Mare, by Lonsdale - Mare, by Jolly Roger - Mare, by Silver Eye* - Mare, by Gift). Sire Line Godolphin Arabian. The Silver Eye* mare is probable although the certificate is unclear on this point. The mare is the same one in Virginia Sorrel's pedigree. Gift* is unknown but is possibly Lord Craven's Little Gift (bbr c 1745) who raced in England, but at that time Pick et al did not know his pedigree.
