This family's taproot was a mare of unknown ancestry that Prior believed was in the stud of W. Foster in Northamptonshire. Four fillies and a colt could be traced to her, and two daughters, both by good racehorses, were of particular sigificance. Two of her youngsters won: Nike, and Village Lass, a winner of two small races
The third and fourth generations of this family were almost exclusively flat racers in England, with some high-class runners. The crippled Whalebone son, Defence, a good sire of stayers, figures prominently in the early pedigrees of this family, as he does in Half-bred Family 10, and many of the mares in the second and third generations went to thoroughbred stallions that had been exceptionally good runners on the flat.
