ORIGINAL STRAIN OF OUR HORSES, WITH 

 TABULATED PEDIGREES. 



IT has already been laid down almost as an axiom in this 

 volume, that the whole of our present racing stock is the result 

 of an acclimatised breed of Eastern origin. It would indeed 

 be practically impossible to trace back a thoroughbred pedi- 

 gree to any other source. 



For the convenience of readers who may wish to verify 

 this statement for themselves, and who may not have the ' Stud 

 Book ' at hand, we shall proceed to give a series of pedigrees, 

 commencing with Messrs. Weatherby's most recent form of 

 tabulation in Vol. xv. of the 'Stud Book.' 



THE following brief account of the principal strains of blood may 

 be found interesting to Breeders. The principal strains in 

 direct descent in the male line may be divided into three, viz. 

 from THE DARLEY ARABIAN (Div. i), THE BYERLY 

 TURK (Div. 2), and THE GODOLPHIN ARABIAN 

 (Div. 3). 



First Division. 



THE DARLEY ARABIAN. 



From Betty Leedes, by Old Careless (son of Spanker and a Barb 

 mare), dam by The Leedes Arabian, grandam by Spanker (son of 

 the Darcy Yellow Turk), out of the Old Morocco Barb mare 

 (Spanker's own dam), was sire of the two brothers, Flying and 

 Bartlett's Childers. 



FLYING CHILDERS, sire of Snip (sire of Snap\ 



and 



BARTLETT'S CHILDERS, sire of Squirt (his dam by 

 Snake, son of The Lister Turk)..
