62 The English Horse. 



Arab or Barb's, and many strains of inferior blood. He 

 was the sire of Catton, a^bay horse, foaled in 1809 ; he 

 was the first foal of Lucy Gray, whose sire was Timothy, 

 her dam Lucy, by Florizel out of Frenzy, by Eclipse. 

 Through Lucy and Florizel (son of Herod) he inherited 

 rather more of the Darley Arabian blood; Florizel's 

 dam was a daughter of Cygnet, by the Godolphin Arab 

 or Barb, from a daughter of Crab (son of Alcock's Arab), 

 from a daughter of Flying Childers ; Cygnet's dam was 

 by Cartouch, from Ebony, by Flying Childers out of 

 Old Ebony, by Basto, and Basto, one of the very few 

 horses altogether of Eastern blood ; but he was not like 

 the Childers of Arabian blood on the sire's side. Basto 

 was by the Byerly Turk out of Bay Peg, who was by 

 the Leedes Arabian out of Young Bald Peg, who was by 

 the Leedes Arabian out of Spanker's dam, which was 

 the old Morocco mare, by the Morocco Barb out of Old 

 Bald Peg, who was by an Arabian out of a Barb mare. 

 The Childers were by the Darley Arabian out of Betty 

 Leedes, who was by Careless out of Sister to Leedes, 

 who was by the Leedes Arabian, out of a mare by 

 Spanker, out of a Barb mare, which was Spanker's dam, 

 viz., the old Morocco mare, by the Morocco Barb out of 

 Bald Peg, who was by an Arabian out of a Barb mare. 

 Careless, the sire of Betty Leedes, was by Spanker out 

 of a Barb mare, and Spanker was by D'Arcy's Yellow 

 Turk out of the above old Morocco mare. Catton was 

 a stout horse, with capital legs. It will be seen besides 

 the strains of blood going back to the Darley Arabian, 

 there was very much in breeding on his dam's side
