Cade b c 1734 (Godolphin Arabian - Roxana, by Bald Galloway). Sire Line Godolphin Arabian. Family 6-a.

Bred by Lord Godolphin, he was orphaned at ten days of age, and was said to have been raised on cow's milk. He was a full brother to Lath (b c 1732), the first son of the Godolphin Arabian. His racing career was respectable.

In the stud Cade was remarkably successful. He was Champion Sire in England in 1752, 1753, 1758, 1759 and 1760. Probably his most important offspring was Matchem (b c 1748), himself a Champion Sire and progenitor of the Matchem sire line. Other useful sons include Silvio (b c 1754) and his brother (b c c1755), Young Cade (b c 1747), Changeling (b c 1747) and Warren's Sportsman (b c 1753), the dam sire of Pot8os (ch c 1773).

His many valuable daughters include Cade Mare (gr f 1751), the dam of Mambrino (gr c 1768) and ancestress of such horses as Friar Marcus (b c 1912 Cicero) and Alysheba (b c 1984 Alydar) of Family 20. Another daughter, Hutton's Cade Mare was an ancestress of most of Family 25. Miss Cade (ch f 1750) was the grandam of Old England Mare (b f 1766) the taproot of Family 2-t. Sister to Merryman (b f 174) was the dam of Titania (f 1760) the taproot of Family 4-a. Miss Ramsden (b f 175) was the dam of the good racehorse and top sire Woodpecker (ch c 1773). Miss Roan (gr f 1753) was the dam of Sweetwilliam (ch c 1768), and the 3rd dam of Coriander (b c 1786). Miss Vernon (b f 1755) was the dam of Otho (b c 1760).

His influence was felt in America as well, through his daughter Kitty Fisher* (gr f 1756c), a notable American matriarch, who numbered the great racehorse Boston (ch c 1833) among her descendants. His son Wildair* (b c 1753) was sufficiently successful that he was sent back to England.

Cade died at Easby Abbey, North Yorkshire, in September of 1756.

b c 1747 (Cade - Sister 2 to Miss Partner, by Croft's Partner). Sire Line Godolphin Arabian. Family 4. Changeling was a full-brother to the celebrated Matchem and was also bred by John Holme of Carlisle. Purchased by Mr Fenwick, he started only once in public, for a £50 Maiden Plate at Newcastle in June of 1753. Said to have been restive in each heat, he finished 2nd in two of them before losing his distance in the 3rd. It was thought he would otherwise have been an easy winner. He was then sold for a stallion to Christopher Jackson. In 1754 he covered at Beverley, Yorkshire, for a fee of 2 guineas, and later at Crathorne, near Yarm, for the same fee. His best son was Le Sang (b c 1759) who got a St Leger winner in Bourbon (b c 1774). He also got a number of good runners, including Mr Pratt's Virgin (ch f 1755), winner of the Chester Gold Cup along with several Fifties.
