DARCYS YELLOW TURK H, ARABIAN, 1665
|
The General Stud Book notes that the D`Arcy Yellow Turk, often referred to simply the Yellow Turk, was the sire of Spanker, Brimmer, and the great great grandam of Cartouch. As his name indicates, he was owned by James D`Arcy and stood at the famous Sedbury Stud in the region of Bedale near Richmond in Northern Yorkshire. He was an early arrival, imported c.1675 from Damascus, Syria. From his name, it has been speculated that he was a palomino, but more likely he was a light golden chestnut.
The influence of the D`Arcy Yellow Turk cannot be underestimated all three foundation sires, Matchem, Herod, and Eclipse, each carry at least four strains tracing back to him, Eclipse having six.
