Young Coquette
"According to Pick and also the Irish Racing Calendar, Y Coquette was also the dam of Lord Altamont's ch h Noble, foaled 1767, and Noblessa, foaled 1769, both by Gamahoe, see Vol III (Jane Harold); see also Mary Gray, Vol II , but there is probably a cross missed in their pedigree" [GSB 1:63].

There is a discrepancy in the dates: Young Coquette, foaled in 1734, could not have foaled Noblessa in 1769. Aside from the date issue, evidence for the missing cross is supplied by these advertisements:

STALLIONS. To all sportsmen and others. To cover mares this season, at Dillon`s Livery-stables In Middle Liffey Street, Dublin. The beautiful strong horse EMPEROR, bred by Lord MOUNT-EAGLE, ....--EMPEROR was bred by me, he was got by Bustard, his dam by Old England, her dam, which was the dam also of Bolton, Tamerlaine and Piper, was got by the Duke of Bolton`s Sloveen [sic], upon his grace`s famous Coquette Mare, who was got by Basto, her dam by Spanker, her dam by Hautboy, her dam by Old Bustler, who was also the sire of Merlin and Blunderbuss. Westport, March 25th, 1767. MOUNT-EAGLE. This is a true Irish pedigree, not sending to England to prove it. Good grass provided near said stables. [Dublin Mercury, 2 Mar 1769; issue 368]

By Messrs Tattersall, This Day, The following well bred Horses: Lot 1. KING of Leinster, 6 years old, got by Rebel, dam [Noblessa] by Gamehoe, grand dam by Old England, Bolton`s Sloven, Coquet, Spot, Grey Spanker, Old Bustler, sire of Merlin, & Blunderbuss, Curwen`s Bay Barb, Little White Legged Barb, &c. [Morning Post & Daily Advertiser, 1 Jun 1789; issue 5037] -- NOTE that the crosses after Merlin are probably not correct and belong to the pedigree of the Bolton Sloven.

Sister to Old Coquette
"This mare produced, in 1722 a ch c Sweepstakes (Bolton) by the Oxford Bloody Shouldered Arabian, and a filly by Bay Bolton dam in 1731 of the Duke of Bolton's Little John, by Partner" [GSB 1:17].

The General Stud Book assigns two pedigrees to Sweepstakes He is recorded as a son of Sister to Old Coquette, (see above), while elsewhere his grandam is said to be by the Lister Turk [GSB 1:389]. Cheny and Pick both note that the dam of Bolton Sweepstakes was sired by an unknown stallion out of a daughter of the Lister Turk. See Sweepstakes.

Turner's Sweepstakes and Norris's Bolton
According to GSB (1/5:33) these two were the same horse, however, it appears that they were instead brothers. The Duke of Bolton's stud was advertised for sale in 1755.

York Courant No 1588. Tuesday, March 30, 1756.
To LEAP this Season, At Henry Horner’s, in Middleham, at One Guinea a Mare, and One Shilling to the Servant, A Beautiful Chesnut Horse, called YOUNG SWEEPSTAKES, bred by his late Grace the Duke of Bolton: His Grace’s Mares were covered by him for four Years by past; but he is now the Property of the abovesaid Henry Horner.

Heber 1761
