The humpbacked beasts of burden rumbled along the banks of the River
Thames in a nation that is home to Wimbledon and Wembley: Camel racing
had arrived in Britain.

Sarah and Sharifa took part in the three races of about 50 metres
Thursday. Sarah won all three, galloping across Potters Field in the
shadows of Tower Bridge and into the winner’s circle

The Thoroughbred as it is known today was first developed in 17th and
18th century England, when native mares were crossbred with imported
Arabian stallions. All modern Thoroughbreds can trace their pedigrees
to three stallions originally imported into England in the 1600s and
1700s, and to 74 foundation mares of English and Oriental (Arabian or
Barb) blood. During the 1700s and 1800s, the Thoroughbred breed spread
throughout the world; they were imported into North America starting
in 1730 and into Australia, Europe, Japan and South America during the
1800s. Millions of Thoroughbreds exist worldwide today, with over
118,000 foals registered each year worldwide.

Foundation stallions

All modern Thoroughbreds trace back to three stallions imported into
England from the Middle East in the late 17th and early 18th
centuries: the Byerley Turk (1680s), the Darley Arabian (1704), and
the Godolphin Arabian (1729).[17][18] Other stallions of oriental
breeding were less influential, but still made noteworthy
contributions to the breed. These included the Alcock Arabian,[19]
D'Arcy's White Turk, Leedes Arabian, and Curwen's Bay Barb.[20][21]
[notes 1] Another was the Brownlow Turk, who, among other attributes,
is thought to be largely responsible for the gray coat color in
Thoroughbreds.[19] The addition of Arabian bloodlines to the native
English mares ultimately led to the creation of the General Stud Book
(GSB) in 1791 and the practice of official registration of horses.[3]

Each of the three major foundation sires was, coincidentally, the
ancestor of a grandson or great-great-grandson who was the only male
descendant to perpetuate each respective horse's male line: Matchem
was the only descendant of his grandsire, the Godolphin Arabian, to
maintain a male line to the present;[22] the Byerly Turk's male line
was preserved by Herod (or King Herod), a great-great-grandson;[23]
and the male line of the Darley Arabian owes its existence to great-
great-grandson Eclipse, who was the dominant racehorse of his day and
never defeated.[20][24] One genetic study indicates that 95% of all
male Thoroughbreds trace their direct male line (via the Y chromosome)
to the Darley Arabian.[25] However, in modern Thoroughbred pedigrees,
most horses have more crosses to the Godolphin Arabian (13.8%) than to
the Darley Arabian (6.5%) when all lines of descent (maternal and
paternal) are considered. Further, as a percentage of contributions to
current Thoroughbred bloodlines, Curwen's Bay Barb (4.2%) appears more
often than the Byerly Turk (3.3%). The majority of modern
Thoroughbreds alive today trace to a total of only 27 or 28 stallions
from the 18th and 19th centuries.[25][26][27]
