Whiskey b c 1789 (Saltram*
- Calash, by Herod). Sire Line
Eclipse.
Family 2-a. Whiskey was bred at Hampton Court
by His Royal Highness, the Prince of Wales, later King George IV, who
won the Derby in 1788 with Sir Thomas (ch c 1785 Pontac), a
half-brother to Pot8os. His dam, Calash (b f
1775 King Herod), winner of five races, had been
acquired from Mr Cross, after her son Paragon (b c 1783 Paymaster) had
won the St Leger in 1786. She was sold in 1792 at the Prince of Wales's
sale to Mr Wilson for 300 guineas.
Whiskey won a number of races and
matches in 1792, after which he was sold for 650 guineas to J H Durand, whose racing stable was said to be one of the largest and most
successful in England. He broke down in a race at Lewes and was
subsequently purchased by Sir Charles Bunbury, and entered stud at Great
Barton, near Bury St Edmunds, where his daughters proved exceptional.
Whiskey was described as a very stout runner, which trait he passed on
to his progeny. He sired 148 winners of of more than £42,416.
