Taproot Mare Family 1-a
Dam of top class racehorse Merry Andrew (1736 King's Plates Lewes, Canterbury, 1740 and 1741 King's Plates The Curragh); grandam of Spectator (1756 Jockey Club Plate);
of the great broodmare Julia, which proliferated Family 1 into numerous branches through Julia's daughters Promise and Princess; and fourth dam of top class racehorse Goldfinder (undefeated in 11 career starts)
A modern branch of Family 1-a descends from Nettle (1891), but research at bloodlines.net indicates that Nettle was likely a descendant of the sister of Bonny Lass, not of Bonny Lass
