Re: RC: Those old horses

[Nancy DuPont <Htrails@Earthlink.net>]

Of course, the Godolphin Arabian, Scham is also one of the foundation horses
for the Thoroughbred. "He was the property of Earl Godolphin, Son in law of
the famous Duke of Marlborough. The Godolphin Arabian was Grandsire of the
celebrated "Eclipse" the fastest horse every known--who was never conquered,
never touched by whip or spur, and who once ran with a weight of one hundred
and sixxty pounds on his back four miles in eight minutes. He was the
descendant of the eastern "Kings of the Wind" and regenerator of the breed
of the present race of English Thoroughbred horses."  Quoted from book on
Godolphin Arabians published in London by E. Gambart & Co September 1st,
1842.  You also know about the Byerly Turk and "The Darley Arabian Mare,
Roxana who was purchased for 600 guinias by Earl Godolphin She was the
granddam of Eclipse who, like her, ran every race victorious"
