MORE INFOTMARION CAN BE FOUND ON THE HORSES PROFILE PAGE Any thoroughbreds will be highlighted with a green GSB – a horse has to be 100% thoroughbred to qualify to be in General Stud Book Any winners of classic races will be highlighted in orange Foaling dates will be found in the colour pink NOTELESS GSB (Vol. 18 p.599) chestnut filly foaled 1893. Bred by Prince Soltykoff. Sold to Mr. T. Large, Noteless was covered in 1896 by Grammont. Barren in 1897 and 1898 she was put out of the Stud. However, Noteless was considered suitable for polo, she was bought and trained for polo by Sir Joh Barker, Bart. Much later at the age of 20, she has a foal by Arthur D. The foal was Arthur’s Pride. Noteless was never owned by Mrs J Oscar Muntz but Arthur’s Pride was purchased and he arrived at Foxhams in 1915. NOTES: Much is written about Miss Agnes, bought by Sir Tatton Sykes with her first foal Little Agnes. She then bred Polly Agnes who later bred Lily Agnes, Tiger Lily and Jessie Agnes. From the ‘Book Of The Horse’ edited by Brian Vesey-Fitzgerald pg 543 “… the influence of this mare Miss Anges foaled in 1850 and got by Birdcatcher… may be described as phenomenal” her other well-known foals were Windermere and Frivolity. Birdcatcher (Irish) foaled in 1833 was a good racehorse and in his time a leading sire, one of his foals was the famous Miss Agnes and another was Darling’s Dam 1850. Bircatcher (Irish) by Sir Hercules died in March 1860 at the age of 27. Touchstone won the St Leger 1834 and the Ascot Gold Cup in 1836 and 1937. Unnamed Mares: Unfortunately, in the early years ‘mares’ were often not given names (those that were, were fortunate.) Very often, only the sire and date of birth were mentioned. An example here is ‘Sir Hercules mare 1839’ (this was probably quite clear to the breeder who had one breeding mare). However, carried out on a large scale and given different variations we find another example, ‘sister to Fox’. The only information we are given about ‘sister to Fox’ is that she was by Whisker who won the Derby in 1815, so with this minimal information it becomes very confusing.
