"YOUNG SIR PETER MARE (son of Doge) MARE,
Her dam by Engineer - Wilson's Arabian - Hutton's Spot - Mogul - Crab - B Bolton - Curwen Barb - Spot - White-legged Lowther Barb - Vintner Mare

 1797   ch c  Quilter, by Standard                         Mr Baker
 1798   b   c  by Overton (cut)                                Sir F Boynton
 1799   ch c  Garnerin, or Garnera, by Restless      Mr Byndloss
*1800   b   f  Spitfire, by Beningbrough                 Mr Flint

This pedigree was stated by Mr Baker of Elemore Hall and Mr Butler to have been invented. The Rev Mr Perceval of Acomb bred all these colts, and they were sold to Mr Baker and Sir F Boynton as half-breds, and won many half-bred races.

 Mr Baker's entry of QUILTER was by Standard, dam by Sir Peter Pellet (son Espersykes), out of a well-bred mare (pedigree unknown); but the above pedigree is quite possible.

   *SPITFIRE was the grandam of Muley Moloch" [GSB 1/5:354]

Sir Peter Pellet was later called Milfield.

While in these cases it is impossible to know the motives or sincerity of all parties involved, it is interesting that the General Stud Book made note of it. It is possible to introduce a half-bred into the pedigree on either the dam's side or the sire's side.

The family of Spitfire has produced some of the most distinguished horses ever known.
