EMMA (1824) was long and low, 15.1 hands tall, with less bone than her dam. She was bred by the Earl`s trustees, and later sold, or more likely leased, by coal magnate and banker William Russell who, in 1796, had purchased Brancepeth Castle, about four miles south of Durham. Retired to the Streatlam stud, she produced seventeen foals, including two Derby winners -- Mundig and Cotherstone --Trustee, an influential sire in America, and Mowerina, the dam of English Triple Crown winner West Australian and other good winners. She died at age twenty-eight, in October, 1852.
