Best Answer

The history of the Australian bloodhorse dates back no further than 1795, when the ship Britannia arrived with a cargo of good-quality breeding mares from the Cape of Good Hope. Rockingham in 1799 was our first imported English thoroughbred stallion. Daughters produced by his matings with Cape mares are our oldest colonial taproots. The family of Myrtle (by Gemma-di-Vergy) traces through a daughter of Rockingham to a Cape mare.
