The Darley Arabian. This horse was foaled in 1700; he was about 20 years younger than Byerley's. He was bought by Thomas Darley in Aleppo in 1704, who sent him to his brother Richard at Aldby, Yorkshire. He stood there until 1730, latterly the property of John Brewster Darley. One of his sons was Bulle Rock, the first thoroughbred to go to America. Others were the two Childers, one of the first great thoroughbred racehorses, the other the progenitor, by Eclipse, of most of today's thoroughbreds (see pp. 78-80). Thoroughbred racehorses are descended from Arab stallions. . The History of Horse Racing by Roger Longrigg, page 59.
