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.
