He was said to have been bred by the Duke of Bolton and his pedigree was given as by Sloven and out of the Coquete Mare [Dublin Journal, 1740 & 1741]. We speculate that the Coquete Mare was the Duke of Bolton's Old Coquette by Basto and that if this is the Beau in question he would have been exported to Virginia following his tenure in Ireland, perhaps after the 1741 season. In America, and sometimes called Bow, he sired the 3rd and 4th dams of Brandon, dam of Meade's Celer (c 1776 Janus) and Clodius (b c 1778 Janus).
Dam possibly: Old Coquette by Basto
