  On Bogus Thunder's pedigree...I'd like to expand 
  it to note that he has Witez II, Aladdin, and Bask on the sire side, and the 
  dam line goes back to Al Marah breeding..to Indraff, and also to one horse 
  with I believe 4 crosses to Astraled, and there is also Crabbet/Hanstead 
  breeding of Indian Gold, Oran.   I also noticed that there was 
  another horse in the top ten with lines back to Astraled, and that is 
  Gulastra's streak. (Love them Crabbets!)

*Being such a big fan of Witez II, I 
  also wanted to mention I have an old, old article from Arabian Horse World on 
  Hal Hall and El Karbaj, who also has the Kosciusco (Witez II) 
  bloodlines.  Many, many endurance horses in the 70's and 80's, especially 
  the HCC lines did.
