Foundation Mare Family 6-x
Dam of Milbanke's Bald Peg, which was traditionally associated with Family 6 due to a suggestion in the GSB [1891 volume, p.19] that she might be Young Bald Peg or her grandam, Old Bald Peg. However, this is clearly erroneous from the relevant horse progeny's dates, which give estimated foaling dates of 1645 Old Bald Peg, 1681 Young Bald Peg and 1700 Milbanke's Bald Peg. There is also no early historical record associating her with the Old Bald Peg line. On the contrary, a stallion advertisement in the York Courant of 9 April 1754, certified by a member of the Milbanke family, for a son of Cartouch which was a descendant of Milbanke's Bald Peg,
4th dam of Blaze, Champion Sire 1751, sire of high class racehorses Sampson (1750 King's Plate Lichfield, 1751 King's Plates Winchester, Salisbury, Canterbury, Lewes, Newmarket, and a successful sire) and Grenadier (1752 King's Plate Nottingham, 1753 King's Plate Newmarket); and of Cypron, dam of [King] Herod, 8 times Champion Sire, and dam of high class racehorse Protector)
