George Stubbs Painting The Godolphin Arabian and Elementary's Nutmeg

Summary: The George Stubbs painting The Godolphin Arabian presents one of the trio that proves if Elementary's The Marchioness possesses Thoroughbreds Nov. 7, 2013.

The George Stubbs painting The Godolphin Arabian avoids arguments that Nutmeg and Silver Blaze's brother advance in Elementary series episode The Marchioness Nov. 7, 2013, about Thoroughbred racehorse and studhorse ancestral bloodlines.

Director Sanaa Hamri and writers Robert Doherty, Christopher Hollier and Craig Sweeny never bring the Byerley Turk, Darley Arabian or Godolphin Arabian into the 31st episode. The second season's seventh episode considers criminal concealment of Thoroughbred Silver Blaze's death from heart failure and identity theft for his brother by a different mare. The procedural drama depicts the Thoroughbred colt Nutmeg whose inherited whorls above, not between, the eyes designate as parents Silver Blaze's brother and Twice for No.

The Godolphin Arabian endured Nutmeg-like experiences through ending up in stables unexpected before birth even though a royal gift exchange, not questionable parentage, encouraged the exile.

The Robles cartel-seeded Mariotti Farms Stable and Training Facility find third-party ownership for the colt Nutmeg whose inherited white whorls favor Silver Blaze's brother as father.

The Godolphin Arabian never got downgraded like Nutmeg even though the Thoroughbred studhorse generated historical controversy over ancestral bloodlines as an Arabian, Barb or Turkoman descendant. He had the dished profile and the high-carried tail of an Arabian Thoroughbred and the Barb nomenclature only through foaling in 1724 on Tunisia's Barbary Coast. Al-Husayn I ibn Ali (1675?-May 13, 1740), first Husainid Bey of Tunis after the Muradid dynasty, included the subsequent Godolphin Arabian in his stables until 1730.

The Godolphin journeyed, perhaps by Aleppo, Syria, to the stables of Louis XV (Feb. 15, 1710-May 10, 1774), Bourbon King of France since Sep. 1, 1715.

France's Bien-Aimé ("Well-Beloved") kept him until his cousin, Duke of Lorraine and subsequent Holy Roman Emperor Francis I (Dec. 8, 1708-Aug. 18, 1765), knew better deals.

Edward Coke (1701?-August 1733) led the Godolphin Arabian northward across the English Channel to Derbyshire, central England, as Longford Hall's studhorse, until a bequeathed location southeastwards. Roger Williams, heir to Coke horses and, 1704?-1747, proprietor of Williams's coffee house, 86 St. James's Street, London, maintained the Godolphin until the Thoroughbred's last move. Francis Godolphin, second Earl of Godolphin (Sep. 3, 1678-Jan. 17, 1756), nestled his namesake into Babraham village, south Cambridgeshire, as Thoroughbred studhorse until Dec. 25, 1753.

The George Stubbs painting "The Godolphin Arabian observed a bay-bodied, deep-shouldered, high-crested, high-withered, lean-bodied, long-necked, long-tailed, short-backed, small-headed, small-legged Thoroughbred Araban with the hind heels white-marked.

John Wootton (1682?-Nov. 13, 1764), horse portrait pioneer, painted The Godolphin Arabian even though self-taught George Stubbs's (Aug. 25, 1724-July 10, 1806) portrayal proved more popular.

James Christie Whyte, author of History of the British Turf in 1840, queued up original portraits in Houghton Hall, Norfolk, southeastern England, and the Godolphin library. The latter's portrayal represented Grimalkin, "and such was the regard existing between them, that the cat really pined to death for the loss of the horse." A plaque still shows the space that served as the Godolphin Arabian's sepulcher under the earl's stable gateway at Wandlebury Ring, Gog Magog Hills, Cambridgeshire.

The George Stubbs painting The Godolphin Arabian teams with the John Wootton paintings The Byerley Turk and The Darley Arabian to tribute Elementary English Thoroughbreds' ancestors.

John Wootton Painting The Darley Arabian and Elementary's Studhorse

Summary: The John Wootton painting The Darley Arabian honors the ancestor of famous Thoroughbreds, unlike The Marchioness's studhorse in Elementary Nov. 7, 2013.

The Darley Arabian, one of modern-day's three Foundation Thoroughbred Stallions, as depicted by John Wootton (ca. 1682-Nov. 13, 1764), English painter of sporting subjects: Public Domain, via Wikimedia Commons

The John Wootton painting The Darley Arabian approaches in two aspects the physical appearance of the three alleged Thoroughbreds in the Columbia Broadcasting System's Elementary series episode The Marchioness Nov. 7, 2013.

Director Sanaa Hamri and writers Robert Doherty, Christopher Hollier and Craig Sweeny broach Thoroughbred compromised health, genetic testing and selective breeding in Season Two's seventh episode. Genetic testing's blood and hair samples and selective breeding's heart failure from an abnormally small heart and inherited whorls complicate the procedural drama's 31st episode overall. The blood and hair samples derive from a Thoroughbred that died of heart failure whereas the inherited whorls display different patterns above, versus between, the eyes.

Sherlock Holmes (Jonny Lee Miller) envisions an evil endeavor behind episodic genetic testing and the inherited white whorls of a colt, a racehorse and a studhorse.

Nigella Mason (Olivia d'Abo), ex-fiancée of Mycroft Holmes (Rhys Ifans) and ex-wife of Robert Suffolk, Marquis of Loudwater, finds that hair dye fights against financial failure.

Nigella's racehorse Silver Blaze got white whorls between the eyes whereas his non-racing brother by another mare gives his colt Nutmeg inherited whorls above the eyes. Silver Blaze had heart failure 10 weeks after Nigella's divorce decree and settlement papers had finalized so hair dye heads a non-racer into a studhorse career. Nutmeg's mother, Twice for No, includes whorled "small patches of hair which grow in the opposite direction to the rest of the coat" between the eyes.

The John Wootton painting The Darley Arabian juggles white-marked head and warm brown body, colors of Nutmeg, Silver Blaze and his brother and Twice for No.

Thoroughbred breeding and racing enthusiasts and experts know that the Darley Arabian kept a white stripe from just below the crest to just below the nostrils.

Thomas Darley's (May 19, 1664-March 9, 1704) letter Dec. 21, 1703, to his brother Henry, lauded Syrian Sheikh Mirza's Anazah Arabian stallion Ras el Fedowi ("Headstrong"). It mentioned that "His colour is bay, and his near fore-foot before, with his hind-feet, has white upon them. He has a blaze down his face." It noted the four-year-old's (March-April 1700-1730) representing "the most esteemed race among the Arabs, both by sire and dam, and the name is called Mannicka [Muniqui]."

John Nost Sartorius's (1755-1828) painting, the John Wootton painting The Darley Arabian and a Yorkshire artist's 9.3- by 7-foot (2.84- by 2.13-meter) painting offered description-true portraits.

Darley purchased the colt "about a year and a half ago, with a design to send him to my father [Richard] at the very first opportunity."

The Honorable Reverend Henry Brydges, son of Lord Chandos, and William Wakelin, Captain of the Ipswich, queued up as the lean-bodied, long-legged Thoroughbred's companion and transport. The Darley letter required the high-tailed, high-withered, long-necked, small-headed colt's relay to John Darley or to maternal cousin Charles Waite for Aldby Park, Darley family seat. The Darley Arabian survived 26 years after his Levant Company merchant purchaser from Buttercrambe village, East Yorkshire, perished from chest injuries from falling off a horse.

The John Wootton painting The Darley Arabian toasted a Thoroughbred that, unlike Elementary's tragic Silver Blaze, transmitted y chromosomes to 95 percent of 21st-century Thoroughbred racehorses.

John Wootton Painting The Byerley Turk and Elementary's Thoroughbreds

Summary: The John Wootton painting The Byerley Turk furnishes a standard against which alleged Thoroughbreds falter in Elementary's The Marchioness Nov. 7, 2013.

The Byerley Turk, earliest of three Foundation Thoroughbred Stallions, as depicted by John Wootton (ca. 1682-Nov. 13, 1764), English painter of sporting subjects: Public Domain, via Wikimedia Commons

The John Wootton painting The Byerley Turk articulated standard aspects and behavior of Thoroughbred racehorses, whose inherited appearance ambushes attempted identity theft in the Elementary series episode The Marchioness Nov. 7, 2013.

Director Sanaa Hamri and writers Robert Doherty, Christopher Hollier and Craig Sweeny bring a colt, a racehorse and a studhorse into the second season's seventh episode. That Robles cartel head Joaquin Aguilar concludes a third-party sale of a newborn for Mariotti Farms Stable and Training Facility confounds Sherlock Holmes (Jonny Lee Miller). That Mycroft Holmes's (Rhys Ifans) ex-fiancée Nigella Mason's (Olivia d'Abo) boyfriend Dalton Ladd dies defending stabled studhorse Silver Blaze in Ulster County, New York, disconcerts Sherlock.

That Robles cartel-hired assassin El Mecanico ("The mechanic," Andrew Samonsky) expects to eliminate Nigella, ex-wife of Robert Suffolk, Marquess of Loudwater, elucidates means, motives and opportunities.

Divorce after a 22-month marriage furnishes Nigella with the "champion stallion" Silver Blaze and the noble title Marchioness, between the lower-ranking countess and the higher-ranking duchess.

Ten weeks after divorce settlements and property transfers get finalized, Nigella gives "a few hundred quid" for Silver Blaze's non-racing brother "who never amounted to much." That the "markings are almost identical" for the equine siblings heads Nigella toward blood and hair samples from Silver Blaze and hair dye for his brother. Nigella intends to insure her financial security by initiating the retired racehorse Silver Blaze's second lucrative career as a studhorse at £100,000 ($160,800) per partnered mare.

Bleeding lungs from over-exercise, fractures from small, thin-soled, thin-walled hooves and failure from small hearts jeopardize the Thoroughbred's (Equus ferus caballus, "Equine wild horse") 20-year lifespan.

Admirers and owners of, and specialists on, Thoroughbreds know the Byerley Turk as the earliest of the three stallion founders of modern-day Thoroughbred horse racing bloodstock.

Online images of the John Wootton painting The Byerley Turk (1680?-1706?) lets enthusiasts and experts look at the Arabian racehorse whose likeness livens a private collection. The 18th-century painting manifests a Saluki (Arabian Greyhound) dog and a rein-holding, turbaned trainer before two classical stone landscape architectural examples near grasses, shrubs and trees. Henry Somerset-Scudamore, 3rd Duke of Beaufort (March 23, 1707-Feb. 26, 1745), nudged his Warwickshire-born page from Snitterfield (1682?-Nov. 13, 1764) into landscape lessons in Rome, Italy.

The John Wootton painting The Byerley Turk optimized the Rome-born Frenchman Gaspard Dughet's (June 15, 1615-May 27, 1675) classicizing landscapes that overtook Dutch and Flemish styles.

Captured stallions from the Battles of Vienna, Austria, Sep. 12, 1683, or Buda, Hungary, Aug. 18-Sep. 9, 1686, perhaps provided Robert Byerley (1660-1714) with his Thoroughbred.

The General Stud Book of Great Britain's and Ireland's breed-registered horses, 1791-, queued Captain Byerley's Thoroughbred charger into King William's War, Sep. 27, 1688-Oct. 30, 1697. His Thoroughbred's speed rescued Captain Byerley, retired as Colonel to Midridge Grange and then Goldsborough Hall, at the Battle of the Boyne, Ireland, July 1, 1690. The high-tailed, high-withered, lean-bodied, long-legged, long-necked, short-backed Arabian with chiseled head and developed hindquarters stood as studhorse at Midridge and, 1697-1706, Goldsborough, near Knaresborough, northern Yorkshire.

The John Wootton painting The Byerley Turk tributes an alert, bright-eyed, disciplined, shining black-brown Arabian whereas Elementary's Nutmeg and Silver Blaze's brother tender white-whorled chestnut brown.
