At the age of ten he was appointed Master of the Horse to the King although the execution of the office devolved upon commissioners, Major Theophilus Oglethorpe, Henry Guy and Charles Adderley, until the Duke reached the age of fourteen. However, the prior death of the King occasioned his removal from office. In 1692 he married Anne, sister of George Brudenell, 3rd Earl of Cardigan.

He was sent to Germany in 1843 and there got the dam of the Preis der Diana winner Isabella (ch f 1856 Springy Jack). Rockingham's Arabian c 1760c. Owned by Charles Watson-Wentworth (1730-1782), 2nd Marquess of Rockingham, he may have been the same horse as the Saanah Arabian. He was the sire of three unnamed offspring, two colts and one filly, from 1768 to 1776, none of whom appear further in bloodstock records. Rock Sand (GB) br c 1900 (Sainfoin - Roquebrune, by St Simon). Sire Line Stockwell. Family 4-n. Rockwood (GB) gr c 1685c (Darcy's White Turk - Tregonwell's Natural Barb Mare). Sire Line Darcy's White Turk. Family 1. Based on the fact that his dam was mated with the White Turk to produce the White Turk Mare of Family 1 we speculate that he was also sired by the White Turk. Highflyer suggests that he was the same horse as Pulleine's White Turk. The General Stud Book records his pedigree as: Rockwood, Pulleine's, out of the Lonsdale Tregonwell Barb Mare [GSB 1/5:382]. He sired the unnamed third dam of Bolton Starling (gr c 1727 Bay Bolton). One or more sons (possibly called the Layton Grey Barb) of Rockwood, appear in the pedigrees of Mr Hutton's Wormwood (b c 1739 Blacklegs), Mr Constable's Cottingham (ch c 1735 Hartley's Blind Horse) and Mr Metcalfe's Harlequin (b c 1719 Mixbury Galloway).

Family 1-k. Romulus (USA) [Tyler's] ch c 1771 (Lee's Mark Anthony - Pompadour, by Valiant*). Sire Line Byerley Turk. Family a48. He appears in the pedigree of Highlander (ch c 1849 Glencoe*). Rooksby's Turk c 1715c. Owned by Captain Rooksby (sometimes spelled Rookesby or Rouksby), who raced Dragon and Mopsy in the mid 1720s, the Turk may have covered at Hampton Court. He was the sire of, among others, Merry Tom (c 1725c) and an unnamed mare (said to be a sister to the dam of Sir William Blackett's Bold Thirkeld although this seems doubtful), the dam of Wiberforce Read's Lucy (b f 1732 Smiling Tom). Lucy was the dam of at least three winners, Whitefoot (b c 1746 Childers Colt), Singlepeeper (b c 1748 Regulus) and Grandison (b c 1750 Sloe), and the grandam of Scrub (b c 1751 Blaze). Wilberforce Read, of Grimthorpe, near Market Weighton in Yorkshire, was a member of the Jockey Club and said to be a "gentleman of good family but small means".

He joined the stud of John Pratt of Askrigge until the latter's death in 1785 when he was purchased by Mark Bulmer of Middleham and covered there for several years and then later at Wyton in Holderness.

Rutland's Black Barb bl c 1705c. Owned by John Manners (1638-1711), 1st Duke of Rutland, he sired three unnamed daughters. The first daughter was the dam of the Confederate Filly (f 1718c Grey Grantham) and thus contributed to the development of Family 61. The second daughter was the ancestress of numerous descendants, the most famous probably being Captain Hartley's Whitefoot (ch c 1729 Bloody Buttocks), winner of Royal Plates at Edinburgh and Newmarket. The third daughter was the ancestress of the Duke of Cumberland's Chance (br c 1780 Javelin), winner of a 100gs match at Newmarket as a two year old. Rutland's Grey Turk gr c 1705c. Highflyer speculates that he was the same horse as the Acaster Turk (gr c 1695c) and the Duke of Rutland's Coneyskins (gr c 1712). Probably owned by both John Manners (1638-1711), 1st Duke of Rutland, and John Manners (1676-1721), 2nd Duke of Rutland, the Turk was advertised for sale in 1714-15 by his then owner, Henry Carter, at the "Sign of the Faulcon near Enfield, in Staffordshire". He appears to have covered in Yorkshire prior to this. Of four unnamed daughters, three bred on. The first foaled Ellerker's Snake (ch c 1721 Lister's Snake), bred by Mr Robinson of Easby, then sold to Mr White and Mr Ellerker. He won a plate at York prior to entering Mr Ellerker's stud at Hart, near Hartepoole, Durham, where he covered for a fee of 1 guinea. He was described as standing 14 hands 3 inches, and to be very strong, well proportioned and perfectly sound. He achieved some success in the stud, getting, among others, the King's Plate winner Miss Hendry (gr f 1730). The second foaled Cuthbert Routh's Creeper (gr f 1716 Darcy's Woodcock), who was bred by Lord Darcy, and was noticed in Routh's stud book [ER:26]. The third was the ancestress of Lord Surrey's, later HRH Prince of Wales's, Cumberland (br c 1779 Phlegon), winner of the Royal Plate at York in 1785.
