Prudence
The Sporting Magazine said the foal in the
plate was not Rupert, her foal of 1827 by
Emilius, but an 1828 foal. However the stud
book said she had no foal in 1828.

A great success in the stud, she was the dam of the Two Thousand Guineas winner Reginald (b c 1818 Haphazard) and the One Thousand Guineas winner Rowena (ch f 1817 Haphazard), who also placed 2nd in the Oaks. Her daughter Rebecca (b f 1821 Soothsayer) and her son Rufus (ch c 1822 Election) both won the Riddlesworth Stakes.
