The B after their names means Bay (that's what color those horses were; C
is chestnut, G is Gray, etc.)
Aladdin and Bask were very prominent show horses, and very prominent show
sires. Alladin also has thrown some nice race horses. However, they are
far enough back in your horse's pedigree as to be almost meaningless
unless it is an indication that they came from a "Polish" breeding
program, which he may have.
Polish lines are not particularly prominent in endurance, but this may
have to do with the fact that up until fairly recently, Polish bloodlines
were unavailable except for exhorbitant prices.
These bloodlines have not been proven in endurance, but they also have not
been tried, and proven not to work. So, in essence, there is no
information in your horse's pedigree to tell you whether he would be good
at endurance or not.
Remember, however, you ride the horse not the pedigree.
Try him and see.
