Panton's Arabian
gr c 1750c. Thomas Panton (1731-1808) of Fen Ditton, Cambridgeshire, was the son of Thomas Panton (1697-1782), the latter the Keeper of the King's Running Horses at Newmarket to both King George I and King George II. In 1750 his sister Mary married Peregrine Bertie (1714-1778), 3rd Duke of Ancaster. He was a well known and apparently universally-liked racehorse rider and owner, a member of the Jockey Club, and he won the Derby with Noble (b c 1783 Highflyer) in 1786. The Arabian was described as a horse of great size and strength and perfectly sound and healthy. He stood 15 hands and was reputed to get large foals who were good goers. He covered at Newmarket for a fee of 10 guineas and later for John Knevett of Eye, Suffolk, for a fee of £1. It is possible that he was the same horse as the Ancaster Arabian (1745c) who got only one foal for the 3rd Duke in 1752. He is credited with about thirty offspring, from 1755 to 1768, the best known probably Virago (gr f 1760), dam of Sir Thomas Gascoigne's St Leger winner Hollandaise (gr f 1775 Matchem). Virago was also the dam of Gunilda (gr f 1777 Star), who was sent to Virginia and was the ancestress of such horses as Kentucky Derby winner Spokane (ch c 1886 Hyder Ali), Preakness Stakes winner Shirley (b g 1873 Lexington) and Belmont Stakes winner Joe Daniels (ch c 1869 Australian).

He was advertised by Mr Baker at Belgrave, near Leicester, and later by the Hon Charles William Wyndham (1760-1828), son of the 2nd Earl of Egremont, to cover at Birstall, near Leicester, for a fee of 5 guineas. He is credited with nearly ten offspring in the stud book, the most notable of whom was Lord Barrymore's Jerico (b c 1786). Jerico ran for three years, mostly at Newmarket, where he won a fair number of matches. Neither he nor the others appear to have had any success in the stud.

Philipson's Turk
c 1745c. Said to be owned by Sir John Philipson [Pick 1:391], he got two known offspring: the Duke of Cleveland's Charon (b c 1749) and his sister. In the General Stud Book Charon's sire is noted as Philipson's Turk [GSB 1:83] and in the Racing Register as Phillips's Turk [Baily 1:119]. However, other racing calendars appear to be in agreement that his sire was Philipson's Turk [Pond, Heber 1754 &c]. Charon won fifties at Bishop-Auckland, Richmond and Hull, as well as the Ladies Plate at Lincoln. Sister to Charon foaled the 1767 Doncaster Cup winner Meaburn (b c 1761 Mirza).

Phillips's Grey Turk
[Phillips's Arabian] gr c 1736c. This horse does not appear in the General Stud Book. Said to have been brought from Turcomania by William Phillips of Garenton, Leicestershire, the horse was described as a beautiful grey standing nearly 15 hands, and thought to be exceedingly strong, a fine mover, and to possess a just proportion. He was advertised by Joseph Knowles of Nelson, near Market-Bosworth, to cover in Leicestershire for a fee of 2 guineas. He has no known offspring.

Phlegon (GB)
b c 1765 (Matchem - Mare, by Crab). Sire Line Matchem. Family 1. Bred by James Bland he was owned by Lord Bolingbroke. He sired the York Royal Plate winner Antaeus (b c 1789).

He also sired Brilliant* (gr c 1791), Firetail* (b c 1795), Restless* (b c 1788) and Wonder* (ch c 1794).

Physician (GB)
b c 1829 (Brutandorf - Primette, by Prime Minister). Sire Line King Fergus. Family 21. He was described as a short round horse as well as a "regular nag stepper". He ran for three years winning nine races including the Scarborough Stakes in which he defeated Birdcatcher (ch c 1833 Sir Hercules) and he also managed a second place finish for the Chester Cup. His offspring were said to be "mostly small and weedy" with great speed but "did not train on". He was sent to France in 1842. Among others he sired the stallion The Cure (b c 1844) and the Prix du Jockey Club winner Experience (b c 1846).

Pigot Grey Arabian
[Patshull Arabian] gr c 1795c. The Arabian was owned by either or both Sir Robert Pigot (1720-1796), 2nd bt of Patshull, a career army officer who inherited the extensive Patshull estate in Staffordshire in 1777, and his son, Sir George Pigot (1766-1841), 3rd bt. Sir George is credited as breeder of most of the Arabian's known offspring. The Arabian was described as a "native of Bussora and of the truest Anissa Negadi breed" and said to be of good size, particularly fine shape and great bone. His stock were also described as being of great size. He covered at Patshull for a fee of 2 guineas. Of nearly a dozen offspring only two were named: Mr Whitmore's Marianne (b f 1803) and General Sir George Pigot (c 1800c). Marianne ran without success at Bridgenorth and General Sir George Pigot was apparently a highly regarded half bred who covered at Wentworth Castle for a fee of 2gs.

Pigot Turk
[Mostyn's Bay Barb] b c 1710c. Seemingly confused in the General Stud Book with the Paget Arabian, he is more likely to have been the same horse as the Mostyn Bay Barb, and the General Stud Book notes, in the pedigree of the Pigot Turk Mare, that she was "bred by Sir R. Mostyn, got by his Bay Barb (afterwards called the Pigot Turk)" [GSB 1:156]. The barb was apparently first owned by Sir Roger Mostyn (1675-1739), 3rd baronet, who held seats at Mostyn in Flintshire, Gloddaith in Carnarvonshire, Leighton in Cheshire and Maesmynnan in Denbighshire. Sir Roger served in parliament from 1701 to 1734. His appointments included pay master of marine forces to Her Majesty Queen Anne and teller of the exchequer to His Majesty King George I. Pigot Turk got four known offspring, the first two for John Egerton of Cheshire. (1) Pigot Turk Mare has no year of birth or colour given in the stud book, however Mr Egerton raced a chesnut filly at Black Hambleton in 1720 who finished 6th for His Majesty's Gold Cup for five year old mares and she could conceivably be this mare. In the stud she bred four offspring for Mr Egerton, all unnamed although a Terror colt could have been Mr Egerton's Byerly who ran in 1728. (2) Egerton Nanny (gr f 1724) won the Wallasey Stakes at Chester and the King's Plate at Hambleton in 1729 and the King's Plate at Newmarket in 1730. She had descendants nearly to the turn of the century. (3) and (4) Looby (b c 1725c), owned by Lord Derby, may have been the same horse as Sidebotham's Horse. Looby sired several offspring for Mr Egerton, including Romp (b f 1739), the second dam of the York Royal Plate winner Aurelianus (ro c 1760 Attilus) and the Doncaster Cup winner Forester (b c 1765 Dionysius). Sidebotham's stallion got the Earl of Tankerville's Chance and possibly the Wynn Looby (b g 1730c).
