Whilst engaged in their endeavour
to preserve the lineage of the runners of their day the early pedigree
collectors were acutely aware that errors would inevitably occur in any
task of this magnitude. The inherent confusion in the records of so many
Spots with their changes of ownership and location was compounded in the
case of the two Hutton's Spots by changes of both name and ownership of
the dam of one of them. And so despite the labour of the collectors one
of these Spots lost his place in history. The earlier Hutton's Spot
(1728) is traditionally accorded celebrity as the sire of Sister to
Stripling, the taproot mare of Family
16, along with other worthy offspring, whereas the credit is due to
the later Hutton's Spot (1735). Please see
Highflyer
who has untangled their story.
We decided to present our
collection of Spots, discovered in our search for the identity
of the Duke of Rutland's Spot whose portrait appears at the
top of the page, as an example of the complexities facing stud
book compilers and pedigree researchers. (We haven't as yet
identified the Duke of Rutland's Spot, although he may have
been Mr Panton's Spot who ran at Newmarket in 1725).
