Background

[edit]

Bay Bolton (originally called Brown Lusty) was a brown or bay colt foaled in 1705. Bred by Sir Matthew Pierson, he was a son of Grey Hautboy and a Makeless mare.[2]

Racing career

[edit]
Horse Race at Newmarket (The Duke of Bolton's Bay Bolton defeating the Duke of Somerset's Grey Windham (Old Wyndham) at Newmarket on either 12 November 1712 or 4 April 1713), by John Wootton, 30 x 46 inches.

At York in 1710, Bay Bolton (then a five-year-old) beat eight six-year-olds to win Queen Anne's Gold Cup. In 1710 he also won the Subscription Purse at Middleham-Moor.[2] He then walked 200 miles to run in, and win, the Rich Prize at Quainton-Meadow in Buckinghamshire.[3] Bay Bolton was then bought by the Duke of Bolton, who sent him to Newmarket, where he won a match race against the Duke of Somerset's Wyndham and a match against Sir Matthew Pierson's Merlin. He also won two match races against Mr Frampton's Dragon.[2]

Stud career

[edit]

Bay Bolton was retired to stud where he became a very successful stallion, becoming Champion sire in 1724, 1726, 1727, 1729, 1732, 1733 and 1734. His progeny included Bonny Lass, Fearnought, Looby, Starling (a Champion sire) and Whitefoot.[4] He died at the Duke of Bolton's stud at Bolton Hall in Yorkshire in 1736.[2]
