The most recent common ancestress of today's Family 17 is
the mare called WARLOCK GALLOWAY in GSB. Her entry in the 1891
edition appears below --
❖

the Carlisle Gelding), by the Bald Galloway.

BLACKEYES (Mr Stanhope's) produced a f by Regulus, also, in
1758, f Miss Cake, by Regulus, and, in 1762, b f

This list of produce
is incomplete. Records relating to this mare were published by C
M Prior (Early Records of the Thoroughbred Horse,
1924). She is first mentioned there in the list of the Stud from
May Day, 1732, where she is called "One Galloway, late Cap:
Worlock's," and in the next year "Cloudy." Cheny's calendars
show that Mr Worlock's ch m Cloudy won a purse of 10gs at Thirsk
in 1729 and a purse of 10gs for galloways at "Sigfield" in 1732;
these appear to have been her only starts under that name; Capt
Warlock's ch m Full-drive (also?) won 10gs at Bedale in 1731.
The last appearance of Worlock's Galloway in Mr Routh's records
is the list of 1749, however, the page for 1750 (the year Snap
was foaled) is missing; her age was given as 16 years in 1740,
17 years in 1741, 18 years in 1742, 19 years in 1743.
Her

["now Mr Blund's" (record for Mayday, 1752]
The
first entry of WARLOCK GALLOWAY as a broodmare was in the 1793
edition, where her grandam was given as got by the
Curwen Bay Barb. This was
repeated in the 1803 edition, but changed to the current
pedigree in the 1808 edition. Her dam was not given a name until
the 1891 edition.
However, according to the records of
Cuthbert Routh, who owned her as broodmare, and bred her known
produce, the pedigree in GSB is incorrect.
Although Mr
Prior thought that Routh did not have a pedigree for Worlock's
Galloway, based on Mr Bland's records (see below*), it appears
that this is her pedigree
The
Pedegree of The Chesnt Galloway, bred by Sr Ralph Milbanke, and
given to Mr J M at 4 years old, 1727:
This Galloway they say
was got by Spark, her dam by the Balld Galloway, g dam by Ld
Carlisle’s Turk, her g grandam His Ldship bought of Mr Pulleine
as one of his best bred mares. She was got by The White Turk,
and gave a long Pedegree of her.
The above came from Wigging
Thorp, 2nd January, 1726, per Lewis Elstob.
* An
anonymous stud book in the Doncaster Archives (DD/BW/J/1)
clearly was kept by or for James Bland. It includes additional
information about the Cottingham mare (daughter of Worlock's
Galloway). Mr Bland called her Young Worlock, as did Mr
Routh in 1752.
1752 The Pedigree
of my Chesnut Mare called Young Warlock bred by Cutht Routh Esq
& foaled in April 1745 & which he made me a present of. She was
got by an Horse of Mr[s?] Constables called Cottingham who won
the Kings Plate at York in 174 & out of a Brood Mare of Mr
Routh's called the Warlock Mare which was bred by Sr Ralph
Milbanke & got by Spark or Snake. Her Grand dam by the Bald
Galloway. Her G Grand dam by Ld Carlisle's Turk Her G G Grandam
his Ldship bought of Mr Pulleine as one of his best bred mares &
was got by the White Turk & with her was given a very long
Pedigree. This from Mr Routh's Stud Book & signed by Mr Elstobb
of Wigging Thorpe.
Cottingham was got by Mr Hartley's Blind
Horse, his Dam by a son of Snake, his Grand Dam by a Son of
Rockwood out of Windham & Crutches Dam, who was got by the
Sellaby Turk, his G: Grandam by Bustler, His G: G Grandam by Bay
Dodsworth. This from Thomas Jackson.
1753 April 12th N Stile
The above Chesnut Mare foaled at Hurworth a Filley Foal got by
Snip. Its Colour Bay with a Star, & Snip down its fa[ce]
These also illustrate the transitional phases in the
pedigree of Worlock's Galloway. She --
"they say" was got by Spark [Routh's
records; some advertisements up to about 1760]
got by Spark
or Snake [Bland's records, and some advertisements]
got by
Snake [advertisement for Cub (1752) and consistently in
advertisements after 1760] |

| Bald Galloway Mare (dam of
Worlock's
Galloway) |
In 1891, GSB identified this mare as
Old Lady (sister to the
Carlisle Gelding) by the Bald Galloway. However, it is apparent
that the dam of Worlock's Galloway has been confused with
another mare, sister to the Carlisle Gelding (OLD LADY in GSB).
This is clearly indicated by surviving eighteenth century
pedigrees.
In fact, there are surviving pedigrees for as
many as four mares sired by the Bald Galloway, whose dams were
by Lord Carlisle's Turk. They are:
1. dam of Mr Routh's Worlock's
Galloway, by the Balld Galloway, g dam by Ld Carlisle’s Turk,
her g grandam His Ldship bought of Mr Pulleine as one of his
best bred mares. She was got by The White Turk, and gave a long
Pedegree of her (Lewis Elstob, Wigging Thorp, 2 Jan 1726, C M
Prior, Early Records of the Thoroughbred Horse, 1924, p 26)
2. Mare called Roxana was got by Ye Bald galloway, Her dam by Ld
Carlisle's white Turk. Her gr dam was Sir Willm Strickland's Old
Blunder Mare (list of Edward Coke's mares, etc, taken at
Longford, 5 Jul 1732; C M Prior, The Royal Studs of the
Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries, 1934; p 137)
3. The
Bald'd Mare, Bought off Mrs Ovington in 1727, was got by ye Bald
galloway, & full sister to ye Scotch galloway, which Captn
Atkins had, her dam by Ld Carlisle's Turk. Her grandam By Ld
Darcy's White Turk. (list of Edward Coke's mares, etc, taken at
Longford, 5 Jul 1732; C M Prior, The Royal Studs of the
Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries, 1934; p 137)
4.
Carlisle: or the Carlisle Gelding. Originally call'd Buckhunter.
…was bred by the late Earl of Carlisle, was got by that Noted
stallion call'd ye Bald galloway …Carlisle's Dam was got by a
Turk of the said late Earl of Carlisle's. His Grand Dam, was a
Daughter of the Byerley Turk. (print published 26 Sep 1741, by
John Cheny) and
5. his Grand Dam by the Bald Galloway, and
was full Sister to the Carlisle Gelding, his Great Grand Dam was
called the Wharton Mare, which won three Royal Plates and the
Subscription Money at Quainton Meadows, in one Year. She was got
by Lord Carlisle's own Turk. (Pond 1753; pedigrees of 6 yo: Ld
Godolphin's Dart)
No. 1 in the above list is the
ancestress of family 17, while No. 4 and No. 5 are eighteenth
century pedigrees which include the dam of the Carlisle Gelding
(sometimes called the Wharton Mare.)
The above records
indicate that Worlock's Galloway was bred by Sir Ralph Milbanke.
Her dam must have been in his possession at one time. However,
very few "Milbanke pedigrees" have been published, so it is not
known if this mare had other produce.
The person who
supplied the pedigree of Worlock's Galloway, Lewis Elstob (died
11 Oct 1733) of Wigging Thorp, was in 1716, and some years
afterwards, agent for Lord Carlisle's Northumberland estates. He
is also referred to at least once as proprietor of the Bald
Galloway, perhaps accounting for so many daughters of Lord
Carlisle's Turk having been bred to the Bald Galloway. In 1715,
Mr Elstob advertised his stud for sale
Mr. Lewis Elstob of Wigingthorp near
York, being a Breeder of fine Horses, designs to part with his
Breed; if any Person have a mind to buy [f]ine Mares or Colts,
may be furnished very reasonably. Seven Gold Cups, besides many
£100 Plates have been won by Horses of the said Breed. [London
Gazette, 5334. 31 May 1715, etc]
Perhaps it was at
this time that Sir Ralph acquired the dam of Worlock's Galloway. |

|
| |
| Mare by Ld Carlisle's Turk (grandam of
Worlock's Galloway) |
| This mare is not entered in GSB. She was apparently bred by
Lord Carlisle, since he is said to have purchased her dam from
Mr Pulleine. |
| |
|
| |
| Mr Pulleine's mare by the White Turk (great
grandam of Worlock's Galloway) |
She was described as a mare "bought of Mr Pulleine as one of
his best bred mares" and that Mr Pulleine "gave a long Pedegree
of her."
Mr Thomas Pulleine was master of the Royal Stud
until at least 1698. In Oct 1706 he wrote to the Duke of
Newcastle of his "being resolv'd to give over breeding" and made
reference to his "white Turke yt's deade." It seems likely that
the White Turk referred to in Mr Elstob's pedigree of Worlock's
Galloway was this Turk of Mr Pulleine's. There are, however, a
couple of variant identifications. In an advertisement for the
sale of the late Mr Thomas Wilson's Stud (Whitehall Evening
Post, 19-21 Mar 1761; No. 2342.) the stallion is identified
as Place's; this seems unlikely since in his letters to the Duke
of Newcastle Mr Pulleine refers to both his (own) White Turk and
Mr Place's White Turk (C M Prior, Early Records of the
Thoroughbred Horse, 1924; p 125-6). One advertisement for
Judgment (son of Bland's Young Worlock) refers to the "Old
Pulleyn White Arabian." And finally, a couple of pedigrees of
horses from this line that were bred in Mr Stanhope's stud, gave
the sire of this generation as Old Hautboy.
One of the
mares Mr Pulleine was offering for sale in 1706, was a 6 year
old, got by his White Turk; her dam was by Brimmer, out of a
Bustler Mare, and she was believed to be in foal to his Chesnut
Arabian. It is, of course, not known if this mare was the same
as the great grandam of Worlock's Galloway, but does provide an
example of the bloodstock Mr Pulleine had.
In summary,
the correct pedigree of Worlock's Galloway (WARLOCK GALLOWAY in
GSB), appears to have been
by
Snake [some earlier sources say Spark] - Bald Galloway - Ld
Carlisle's Turk - [Pulleine's (?)] White Turk - a long pedigree,
now lost |

Old Lady (sister to The Carlisle Gelding)
As discussed above, her pedigree indicates that she was a
different mare than the dam of WARLOCK GALLOWAY. She had her
first entry as a broodmare in the edition of 1891, where she is
shown as
Bred by Lord CARLISLE,
got by the Bald Galloway, her dam, The Wharton Mare, by the
Carlisle Turk - Byerly Turk.
1728 ch f The Warlock
Galloway, by Snake …
f
by Bartlet's Childers …
* f by
Darley Arabian …
* This mare
bred a f by Almanzor.
See Wharton Mare.
Old
Lady has appeared as produce of the WHARTON MARE, since the
edition of 1808. In eighteenth century pedigrees she was
generally called sister to the Carlisle Gelding, the earliest
instance of her being named as Old Lady appears to be this entry
for Buckhunter --
W Pick, Pedigrees & Performances of the
most Celebrated Race-Horses, ca 1786.
BUCKHUNTER, (commonly called the
Carlisle Gelding) though in a very high form, yet there
were horses of his day that would beat him; but he had rarely an
equal, and hardly ever a superior, with relation to those
principal points of being capable of running with all degrees of
weight, of supporting repeated heats, of travelling and running
often, and continuing the whole for so great a number of years,
and to the age that he did. BUCKHUNTER was bred by the Right
Hon. the Earl of Carlisle, and got by that noted stallion the
Bald Galloway, his dam by Lord Carlisle's Turk, out of a
daughter of the said Bald Galloway, which was out of a daughter
of the Byerley Turk. In 1719, BUCKHUNTER won two King's plates
at York; also, the King's plate at Lincoln, and at Newmarket in
October. In 1720, Buckhunter won the King's plate at Newmarket
in April; after which he won several plates and matches there,
and supported the severity of running trials at Newmarket for
many years; and when sold from thence, though fourteen years
old, he won the following plates and matches, viz 50gs at
Huntingdon, £50 at Warwick, £50 at Bath, twice £40 at
Peterborough; £40 at Lichfield, £40 at Stratford, £30 at
Rothwell, £30 at Rugby, £30 at Boston, £25 at Welsh Pool, Wales,
£25 at Newmarket, £20 at Lichfield, £20 at Leicester, £20 at
Newcastle-under-Line, £20 at Melton, £20 at Spalding, £15 at
Northampton, and when running for a plate at Salterley-Common,
near Stilton, Buckhunter broke his leg, which deprived him of
his life, and he was buried near to the pails of Stilton
church-yard. The excessive spirits of his youth, rendered him
almost ungovernable, and caused him to be castrated, which lost
a promising English stallion. Buckhunter was own
brother to Old Lady, who was also bred by the Earl of Carlisle.
Possibly Pick was the source of the pedigree, now in GSB,
with the double Bald Galloway crosses. Cheny published a print
of the Carlisle Gelding in 1741, in which he said the Carlisle
Gelding
was bred by the late
Earl of Carlisle; was got by that Noted Stallion call'd ye Bald
Galloway, ye sire of Old Cartouch, Roxana, Dart, Silver-locks,
Daffodil, Grey Ovington, Penguyn or Foxhunter, Bauble, Black a
Top, and many others. … Carlisle's Dam was got by a Turk of the
said late Earl of Carlisle's. His Grand Dam was a Daughter of
the Byerley Turk.
And in 1791, An Introduction to
a General Stud-book, the Carlisle Gelding was entered with the
same pedigree
† Carlisle
Gelding, Ld Carlisle, 1713, Bald Galloway - Carlisle Turk -
Byerly Turk.
† The Carlisle Gelding was remarkable for having
supported the fatigue of running, as a trial horse in private,
and with success in public, till the amazing age of 18, at which
period, after winning a heat at Sawtry, in Huntingdonshire,
(1731) he broke his leg and died.
OLD LADY's
current list of produce is also problematic.
(1) Her
supposed daughter, BARTLET'S CHILDERS MARE, was first entered as
a broodmare in the 1793 edition of GSB, when her pedigree was
given as "Her dam, the dam of the Warlock Galloway, by the Bald
Galloway - Curwen Bay Barb." This pedigree was repeated in the
1803 edition; in 1808 the pedigree was offered in abbreviated
form ending with the dam of the Warlock Galloway, and this
version continued through the 4th edition of 1858. In 1891, her
pedigree was changed to correspond to her entry as produce of
Old Lady
❖ BARTLET'S-CHILDERS MARE,
Her dam,
Old Lady, the dam of the
Warlock Galloway, by the Bald Galloway -
Wharton Mare.
The
Bartlet's Childers mare should be removed from the produce of
the sister to the Carlisle Gelding. Based on Mr Routh's records
as well as on this advertisement for her son Scipio, in
the Newcastle Courant (No. 4306. 24 Mar 1759) this mare
was produced by Worlock's Galloway (the Spark mare in the
following advertisement)
To
COVER this Season,
At Mounton, near Whittingham, in
Northumberland, at One Guinea a Mare, and a Shilling to the
Servant;
SCIPIO, late the Property of John William Bacon
Forster, Esq; Scipio was bred by Lord Portmore; got by Mr
Panton’s Old Crab, and out of a Mare his Lordship had of Mr
Routh; which Mare was got by Bartlet’s Childers; and her Dam by
Spark; her Grand-dam by the Old Bald Galloway; her Great
Grand-dam, by Lord Carlisle’s Turk; Her Great Great Grand-dam
Lord Carlisle bought of old Mr Pulleine, as one of his best bred
Mares; she was got by the White Turk.
Hambleton, Feb. 16,
1759. / Thos. Jackson.
*** Good Grass for Mares, and proper
Care.
Scipio is in fine Condition, and the first Year of his
Covering.
(2) OLD LADY's daughter by the Darley
Arabian. It is likely that this daughter, said in GSB to have
been got by the Darley Arabian, was actually got by Almanzor
(son of the Darley Arabian). Perhaps it was the result of a
quick reading of a pedigree like that given in the advertisement
below.
STALLIONS / To Cover in
1776.
A Large Strong BAY COLT, 4 yrs old, this grass,
upwards of 15 hands high, bred by the Earl Ferrers, and got by
Sir C Sedley`s Arabian, sire of Coquette, Greyling, Pudenda, &c
&c. His dam was got by Regulus, and is the dam of Sir H Harpur`s
colt Drowsy; his grandam by Old Traveller, his gr. grandam by
Almanza, son of the Darley Arabian, who was sire also of the D
of Devonshire`s Flying Childers; his gr. gr. grandam was own
sister to the famous Carlisle gelding, both being got by the
Bald Galloway; their dam, who was called the Wharton Mare, and
who won three Royal Plates and the Subscription-money at Quenton
[sic] Meadows in one year, was got by the Carlisle Turk, out of
a daughter of the Byerly Turk. ... [Weatherby's Racing
Calendar (newspaper), 5 Jun 1776, No. V.]
The
dam of Drowsy whose pedigree is given in the above advertisement
has appeared since the edition of 1793 in GSB as produce of
REGULUS MARE,
Bred by Mr KAY,
foaled in 1762, her dam by Traveller - Almanzor - Darley's
Arabian - Sister to the Carlisle Gelding, by the Bald Galloway -
Wharton Mare, by Lord Carlisle's Turk.
In summary,
it appears that the sister to the Carlisle Gelding probably had
only one produce that bred on, a mare by Almanzor (son of the
Darley Arabian). |
| |
|
| |
The
Wharton Mare
Based on the dates of her known produce,
she was probably foaled between 1699 and 1709.
This mare
has had a broodmare entry in GSB since the edition of 1808,
which has remained unchanged through the edition of 1891.
THE WHARTON MARE,
Bred by Lord
CARLISLE, got by his Turk - *Bald Galloway - Byerly Turk.
1713 ch c Buckhunter (afterwards the Carlisle
Gelding), by the Bald Galloway (son of Victor Barb) … Lord
Carlisle
ch f Old
Lady, by ditto … Lord Carlisle

1723 b c Squirrel,

*
This is probably incorrect, but it is given in all the
pedigrees.
† In Racing
Calendar this is called a foreign horse of Sir C W Strickland.
From this mare, Cub, Sancho, Pantaloon,
Y Blacklock, Cardinal Puff, Prime Warden,
Yattendon (Australian), Flash-in-the-Pan,
Massinnissa, Cymbal, Beau Brummell,
Child of the Mist, etc, descend in female line.
Based on eighteenth century sources, her pedigree is
incorrect, although in the original 1791 entry of her son, the
Carlisle Gelding, his pedigree is correct. Early sources are
also silent as to the identity of her breeder, nor is it known
who raced her, but she is said to have won "three Royal Plates
and the Subscription Money at Quainton Meadows, in one Year"
(Pond 1753, pedigree of the Earl of Godolphin's Dart). It does
look as if Lord Carlisle owned her when she was a broodmare,
since her produce are attributed to him and to his kinsman Col.
Howard. |

Byerley Turk Mare (dam of the Wharton Mare)
This mare is presently simply a name in a pedigree. Some records
of the Winchendon Stud of two generations of Lords Wharton were
discovered and written about by F M Prior ("An Early
Buckinghamshire Stud Lord Wharton's establishment at upper
Winchendon") in the British Racehorse, August, 1956; p
201. The records do not cover every year, but about 1703 one of
the two mares listed was "Mr Pullen maire of chesnut Byerly came
out of old Byerly and Mr Pullen's Arabian Hors, did cost me 50
guinis." She did not appear in the subsequent two lists, of 1704
and 1706. Perhaps the dam of this mare (chesnut Byerly, by old
Byerly [Turk?]) was also dam of the Wharton Mare.
Pulleine's Chesnut Arabian is also mentioned in these records.
He is one of the three stallions listed at Winchendon during
1708.
The Chesnut Arab I had
from Mr Poulaine [Pulleine] who gave 300 guinies for him when he
came lame oven [often]. King Charles sayd he was the hansomest
horse that he did ever see, he has got Hawker, Colonel Morton's
running hors that has won so many plates, and many other running
horses.
For Mr Pulleine's Chesnut Arabian to have
been seen by King Charles II, he must necessarily have been
foaled some years before 1685. |
