Flying Childers
Through his dam, Blucher was twice descended from the noble Herod, the foundation sire through whom the direct male line of the Byerley Turk survives. He was again inbred from Herod through Waxy's dam, Maria, a mare bred by Lord Bolingbroke. Herod was himself inbred from two of the offspring of the Darley Arabian, one of them being the undefeated Flying Childers.
