Wastell's "Salt-Fish" Turk was owned by John Wastell (1661-1737/38) from near Northallerton, Yorkshire, husband of Barbara Peirse, she a cousin of John Hutton II (1657-1731) who had established an extensive and successful stud at Marske. Wastell also had commercial and close geographical connections with Robert Byerley, owner of the Byerley Turk (bl c 1680c), and we speculate that, in the absence of any evidence for importation, Wastell's Turk could have been sired by the Byerley Turk. In the stud Wastell's Turk left six known offspring, one colt and five fillies. Of the latter, two made significant contributions to the stud book. (1) Mr Fletcher's unnamed colt (b c 1725) finished 2nd for a 5gs each subscription at Richmond [Baily 1:23]. Nothing further is known about this colt, however his year of birth indicates that Wastell's Turk probably lived to thirty years of age. (2) Croft's Pet Mare (gr f 1710c) is notable as the dam of the stallion Young Greyhound (gr c 1718 Greyhound), the second dam of the stallion Young Cartouch (ch c 1731 Cartouch), and the ancestress of the St Leger winner The Duchess (b f 1813 Cardinal York) and the Chester Cup winner King Cole (b c 1833 Memnon). (3) Another daughter, Darcy's Young Sorrill (the Duke appears to call her "Blackleggs" in a letter to James Darcy [Early Records:127]), was a broodmare in the Welbeck Abbey stud of John Holles (1662-1711), 4th Earl of Clare and Duke of Newcastle, and was probably a foundation mare of Family 7. Wastell's Turk also sired (4) the second dam of Mr Croft's Bustard (Greyhound) and (5) the third dam of the Somerset Diamond (ch c 1713c Jew Trump). Under the name of the Westall Turk (whom the General Stud Book says is "probably Wastell" Turk [GSB 1:385]) he got (6) the fifth dam of Sir John Shelley's Fantail (1770 Latham's Snap). Wastell's Turk c 1760c. John Wastell (1736-1811), grandson of the owner of Wastell's Turk, was born in Yorkshire and later bred and trained horses at Bury St Edmunds as well as managing the 3rd Duke of Grafton's racing stable. Wastell's Turk sired only one known offspring, Mr Wastell's unnamed chestnut colt of 1777.

Wellesley Grey Arabian gr c 1796c. He was imported into England from India along with the Wellesley Chesnut Arabian.

Both were described as "evidently not Arabians," but the grey was "a horse of good shape, with the size and substance of an English hunter." Both were said to be "distinguished by size and power seldom found in any of their superior blood". The Grey Arabian, purchased from "near Bussorah", Persia, was said to be of the "Nedjudee breed" and the finest colt that had been bred in the that part of the desert for many years. They were both initially advertised to cover at Egham Wick, Surrey, for a fee of 5 guineas, except for winners or dams of winners of King's Plates &c, who would be covered for free. Later they covered at Cheshunt, Hertfordshire, and Russell's Farm, East Barnet, Herts, with the Grey Arabian commanding a fee of 8 guineas.

Wilkes's Barb c 1690c. It is possible that this is the same horse as Hautboy (c 1685c Darcy's White Turk), or even that his name is a corruption of Wilkinson's Barb (c 1690c). The pedigree for Fanny (ch f 1751) reads: Fanny, by Tartar - Mare, by Starling - Mare, by Childers - Mare, by Grey Grantham - Lilliput's Dam, by Wilkinson's Barb - Milbanke's Bald Peg, by Burford Bull [GSB 1:84]. A pedigree for Archer (gr c 1746) reads: Archer, by Bolton Starling - Mare, by Bald Galloway - Mare, by Grey Grantham - Mare, by Wilkes's Barb - Milbanke's Bald Peg, by Burford Bull [Heber:1751]. The only known offspring of Wilkes's Barb is the mare that appears in the pedigree of Archer. Archer, who was first called Augustus, was owned by Mr Martindale and won King's Plates at Winchester and Salisbury. He was then purchased by Mr Arthur Marvin who took him to Ireland and ran him there with "indifferent success" [Pick 1:111]. In the stud Archer got Aimwell (gr c 1762) who won four Royal Plates in Ireland for his various owners. Archer also got an unnamed mare (1765) who became the dam of Cromaboo (gr c 1774 Gamahoe).

Owned by Francis Wilkinson of West Layton, Yorkshire, he was the sire of two known offspring. (1) Silverlips (c 1715c), owned by Mr Lisle of Halzon, was said to have been the most celebrated plate horse ever known in those parts, winning £550 worth of plate besides a Gold Cup at Scotland "which no English horse but himself could do". His only loss occurred when he was "clap'd on the back sinews". He was advertised to cover at the Black Bull and Crown for a fee of half a guinea, at which time he was said to be "right sound and in fine order". (2) Wilkinson Barb Mare (1710c) produced Lilliput (ro c 1722 Bald Galloway) and his sister. Mr Fleetwood's Lilliput, sometimes described as a light chesnut, ran for Capt Milbanke, winning a plate at York. Running for Cuthbert Routh he won plates at Yarm and Bedale. Sister to Lilliput was the dam of Mr Leedes's Kettle Bender (ch c 1740 Smales's Childers), who was said to stand 14 hands and 1.5 inches tall, won a fifty at Carlisle in 1744. Wilkinson Barb Mare was also the 5th dam of Mr Tuting's Creeping Polly (ch f 1756 Othello), from whom all of Family 6-x+ descends. Wilkinson's Bay Arabian b c 1690c. Owned by Andrew Wilkinson of Boroughbridge, the Arabian may be the same horse as Wilkinson's Barb and Wilkinson's Turk. He sired an unnamed mare, from Lord Arlington's Natural Barb Mare, from whom all of Family 43 descends. Wilkinson's Turk c 1690c. The Turk may be the same horse as Wilkinson's Barb and Wilkinson's Bay Arabian. In the stud he got two unnamed mares, the first a foundation mare of Family 62, and the second a foundation mare of Family 71. Williams's Arabian [Wynn's Arabian] c 1720c. Sir Watkin Williams (1692-1749), 3rd bt of Llanforda, near Oswestry, Shropshire, succeeded to the Wynn estates at Gwydir, Caernarfonshire, in 1719, at which time he changed his name to Williams-Wynn. He represented Denbighshire in parliament for many years. Williams's Arabian had two known offspring under this name: (1) an unnamed mare (1728), bred by Mr Egerton from his Pigot Turk Mare, who drowned as a foal [GSB 1:156] and (2) the "famous Harlequin". Willoughby Barb c 1655c. One of the earliest known Barbs with offspring in the stud book, he was mated with the Bolton Castle Mare, taproot of Family 71, to produce an unnamed mare (1660c) who was the third dam of Bathurst's Look About You (gr c 1706c Rider's Cupid), as well as ancestress to the rest of the family. Look About You was well known in his day although little record is left of him. He may have been the same horse as Tregonwell Frampton's Look About You who was pledged to run matches at Newmarket in 1713 and 1715. The Willoughby Barb may also be the sire of the "Willobough Barb Mare" who was said to have been the third dam of Dyer's Dimple (c 1705c Leedes Arabian) and also of Mr Graham's Poppet (b c 1739 Ancaster Grasshopper). Wilson's Arabian ch c 1745c. Sire Line Wilson's Arabian.  Winchilsea's Arabian c 1790c. Owned by George Finch (1752-1826), 9th Earl of Winchilsea, the Arabian sired an unnamed mare for Lord Winchilsea in 1796. She had no offspring recorded in the stud book. Windhound (GB) br c 1847 (Pantaloon - Phryne, by Touchstone). Sire Line Buzzard. Family 3-h. Windhound won only one race as a three year old and did not win again. He stood at Cawston Lodge, Rugby along with Melbourne and Birdcatcher. He sired the Derby winner Thormanby (ch c 1857), the St James's Palace and King Edward VII Stakes winner Staghound (ch c 1863), Camiola (ch f 1854) the dam of the Yorkshire Oaks winner Lady Vane (ch f 1863 Bandy) and Lufra (br f 1860) the dam of the Royal Hunt Cup winner Lowlander (ch c 1870 Dalesman) and the Stewards' Cup winner Midlothian (b c 1874 Strathconan). Windhound died in August of 1868. Windle (GB) b c 1804 (Beningbrough - Mary Ann, by Sir Peter Teazle). Sire Line Beningbrough. Family 18.

He ran only as a two year old winning three races including the Lavant Stakes. He sired the Oaks winner Rhedycina (b f 1847). Witham Grey Arabian gr c 1770c. He was the sire of only one offspring in the stud book, an unnamed mare foaled in 1776, she the property of Willoughby Bertie (1740-1799), 4th Earl of Abingdon. The mare herself has no recorded offspring. There is a possibility that the Witham Grey Arabian was the same horse as Burtlon's Arabian. Wizard (GB) ch c 1806 (Sorcerer - Mare, by Precipitate). Sire Line Matchem. Family 12-b. Bred by Mr Goodison he won the Two Thousand Guineas Stakes and finished second to Pope for the Derby. He sired Wizard Mare (gr f 1813) the third dam of Lothario (b c 1863 King Tom) and ancestress of the Prix de Diane winner Jeune Premiere (br f 1864 West Australian). Wizard died after the season of 1813 at the age of seven. Woburn Arabian ch c 1790c. Owned by Francis Russell (1765-1802), 5th Duke of Bedford, he was described as an "uncommonly handsome chesnut Arabian, brought from Bengal by Capt Grey, of the Rose Indiaman". The Woburn Arabian covered for a fee of 10gs and sired a half dozen or so foals, mostly for the Duke, between 1797 and 1799. None of these appear to have made any impact on the turf. The Duke achieved substantial success with Skyscraper (b c 1786 Highflyer), Eager (b c 1788 Florizel) and Fidget Colt (br c 1794 Fidget), all of whom won the Derby Stakes. Woful (GB) b c 1809 (Waxy - Penelope, by Trumpator). Sire Line Pot8os. Family 1-o.  Wolseley Barb bl c 1747c. The General Stud Book suggests that he was "probably the Black Barb which stood at Woolsey, Staffordshire [GSB 1:393]. He was advertised to cover "At Woolsey-Bridge, Staffordshire, A most beautiful BLACK BARB, full fifteen Hands high, free from any Blemish whatsoever, six Years old. He was a present from the Dey of Algiers, and brought over into this Kingdom 1751. He is allowed by all Judges who have seen him, to be as proper a Horse to get running Cattle, as ever came into England; and is one of the tallest, best-made and high-bred Horse, that ever came out of that Country. He covers this Season, at three Guineas a Mare, and half a Crown the Servant" [Pond 1753:163]. His fee later rose to five guineas. He may have been associated with Sir William Wolseley (-1779), 5th bt of Wolseley Hall, near Wolseley Bridge in Staffordshire. The Barb sired eight known offspring over a span of about fifteen years. Only two were winners: Sir R Grosvenor's Raphael (b c 1755) won a 500gs match from the Duke of Cumberland's colt at Newmarket in 1760 and in 1765 Lord Grosvenor's Fireaway (bl c 1761) won a 100gs match from Capt Shirley's Collier at Newmarket and a subscription at Euston. One of the Barb's daughters, Riddle (gr f 1762), owned by Lord Grosvenor, was the ancestress of July Stakes winners Merrymaker (b c 1814 Dick Andrews), Miracle (ch f 1816 Soothsayer), Spindle (b f 1808 Shuttle) and Cambric (b c 1807 Shuttle), as well as the Prix du Jockey Club winner Fitz Emilius (b c 1842 Young Emilius). One of his unnamed colts, bred by Sir William and described as a "fine, strong bay horse, full 15 hands and a half," was advertised to cover at the same place in 1760. Wonder (GB)* [Crippled Wonder] ch c 1794 (Phoenomenon - Mare, by Diomed*). Sire Line King Herod. Family 5-a. Bred by Lord Fitzwilliam he was imported into Virginia in the fall of 1803 by Richard Bland. He sired the stallion Conqueror (b c 1808) and he appears in the pedigree of Trimble's Eclipse (ch c 1840c American Eclipse). He died around 1813c. Wonder (USA) [Wilkes's] ch c 1800 (Diomed* - Eppes's Mary Grey, by Page's Tippoo Saib). Sire Line King Herod. Family 2.

Family 1. Bred by Sir C Davers he won fifteen races. An immensely popular and successful stallion he was second on the sires list from 1789 to 1792 inclusive. His most important son would have been Buzzard (ch c 1787) who ensured the continuance of the Byerley Turk sire line. Woodpecker (USA) (b c 1828 (Bertrand - Old Buzzard, by Buzzard*). Sire Line King Herod. Family A14. Owned in Kentucky by James Lindsay of Lexington he sired the stallion Grey Eagle (gr c 1835), his sister Falcon (b f 1839) the ancestress of the Belmont Stakes winner Hanover (ch c 1884 Hindoo) and Sally Shannon (b f 1839) the ancestress of the Tennessee Derby winner Jamboree (b c 1891 Glenelg). Woodstock Arabian [Williams's Turk] gr c 1700c. According to the General Stud Book the Woodstock Arabian may be the same horse as Williams's White Turk [GSB 1:18]. It is also possible that he is the same horse as Honeywood's Arabian. He sired Flying Whigg (f 1715) who became the dam of Sachrissa [Large Hartley Mare] (ch f 1729) and Amorett [Little Hartley Mare] (ch f 1727), both early matriarchs of Bruce Lowe's Family 15 and an enormous influence on early American pedigrees. Amorett was the dam of (1) Blank (b c 1740 Godolphin Arabian) who sired Centinel* (ch c 1758) and Fallower* (c 1759); (2) Old England (b c 1741 Godolphin Arabian) who sired Northumberland* (gr c 1761); and (3) Janus (b c 1738 Godolphin Arabian) the sire of Janus* (ch c 1746).

Wyndham (GB) gr c 1704c (Hautboy - Mare, by Selaby Turk). Sire Line Darcy's White Turk. Family 54.  Wyndham (GB) [Young] b c 1719 (Wyndham). Sire Line Darcy's White Turk. Wynn's Arabian gr c 1715c. Sire Line Wynn's Arabian. He was probably the same horse as W Williams's Arabian and Lonsdale's Grey Arabian. He may have been associated with the Ancaster stud through connections established by the marriage in 1678 of Mary Wynn to Robert Bertie (1660-1723), 4th Earl of Lindsey, who was created Duke of Ancaster in 1715. He got nearly twenty foals in the Ancaster stud from 1721 to 1735c.
