Alcock's Arabian
Alcock's Arabian (foaled c.1707, died c.1733), also known as ''Pelham Grey Arabian'' and possibly ''Bloody Buttocks'' and ''Ancaster Turk'' among others, is the ancestor of all grey-coloured Thoroughbred horses.〔Lady Wentworth, ''The Swift Runner: racing speed through the ages'' (G. Allen & Unwin, 1957), p. 27: "All grey thoroughbreds are descended in direct (though not exclusively male) line from the Grey Alcock Arabian, also known as the Brownlow Turk, Honeywood Arabian and Akaster Turk, the grey colour persisting through some 26 generations..."〕 as well as grey sports and riding horses descended from thoroughbred lines. It was said he was imported into the Kingdom of England early in the 18th century. However, there is no firm evidence to support this assertion. There is, however, strong evidence that he was a son of ''Curwen's Bay Barb'' out of ''Old Wen Mare'' (''Sister to Clumsey'').〔The General Stud Book vol. 1 fifth edition〕 The ''Old Wen Mare'' was either full sister or possibly the same mare as the exceptional broodmare ''Grey Wilkes''. Volume 1 of the fifth edition of the ''General Stud Book'' lists Sir W. Wynn's ''Spot'' - a horse accepted to have been sired by Alcock's Arabian, as: "...by a son of the Curwen Bay Barb (which was out of Sir J. Parsons's Old Wen Mare, sister to Clumsey)..."
==Origins==
It is said that Sir Robert Sutton (1671–1746), English ambassador to the Ottoman Empire in Constantinople from 1700 to 1717, acquired horses in Constantinople, including ''Alcock's Arabian'' the ''Holderness Turk'' and the ''Brownlow Turk'' and had them shipped to England in 1704. However, there is no evidence that Alcock's Arabian was among these horses and it is more likely that he was bred in England. Lady Wentworth researched the foundation sires and found some confusion due to horses' names changing as they changed owners. She eventually concluded that pretty much every imported grey stallion was the same horse as Alcock's Arabian. While it is true that he may have been known under several different names (Pelham's Grey Horse, Bloody Buttocks, for examples) he could not have been the same horse as those that were imported, because he was almost certainly bred in England.
