Basto. — A brown horse, foaled in 1 703, bred 

 by Sir William Ramsden, Bart, of Byram, near 

 Ferrybridge, Yorkshire ; and sold, when young, to 

 the Duke of Devonshire. He was got by the 

 Byerley Turk ; his dam was called Bay Peg, a 

 daughter of Leedes's Arabian, sire of Leedes and 

 of the grandam of Childers. Basto's grandam 

 was out of a daughter of Mr. Leedes's Bald Peg, 

 and got by old Spanker. Bald Peg, Basto's great 

 grandam was bred by Lord General Fairfax, out 

 of a mare of the same name, and got by his Lord-
