词汇 byerly turk
词源
Byerly Turk; Darley Arabian; Godolphin Barb. The names of the three Oriental horses from whom, without exception, all modern Thoroughbred racehorses descend through the male line. Byerly Turk, first of the founding fathers, was the charger of English Captain Byerly at the Battle of the Boyne (1690). Little is known about him except that he was a Turkish stallion purchased abroad a few years before. Darley Arabian, most celebrated of the three sires, was sent from Syria to Rich- ard Darley of Yorkshire by his son Thomas in 1704; he was a certified Arabian stallion. Godolphin Barb or Arabian, called “the mysterious Frenchman,” was brought to England from France in 1730 by Edward Coke and later sold or given to the Earl of Godolphin.
