Emma
ch f 1824 (Whisker - Gibside Fairy, by Hermes).
Sire Line Pot8os.
Family 7-a.
Emma was bred by the trustees of the Earl of Strathmore
of Gibside Park, near Newcastle, and of Streatlam
Castle, Durham. She was purchased by W Russell
of Brancepeth Castle and then sold to John Bowes
(1811-1885), the illegitimate son of the late
earl and countess of Strathmore, from whom he
inherited the estates of Gibside and Streatlam.
"The Druid" describes Emma as being
long and low, standing just short of fifteen hands
two inches, and of lighter bone than her dam.
She was
the dam of the Derby winner Mundig (ch c 1832
Catton), the Derby and Two Thousand Guineas winner
Cotherstone (b c 1840
Touchstone), 2nd dam of
the Cesarewitch winner Audrey (b f 1856
Stockwell),
3rd dam of Royal Hunt Cup winner Forbidden Fruit
(br c 1853
Birdcatcher
or Gameboy), and of the Ascot Gold Vase winner
and worthy stallion Parmesan (br c 1857 Sweetmeat).
Emma was also the ancestress of the Derby and
St Leger winner Donovan (b c 1866
Galopin)
and the triple crown winner
West
Australian (b c 1850
Melbourne),
the latter also bred by John Bowes. Emma died
in 1852, "quite worn out".
