x4x5x4 breeding pattern to Bonnie Joe. Bonnie Joe is out of Bonnie Rose by
nnie Scotland, who was by Iago by
n John by Waverly by Whalebone. Bonnie Scotland was out of Queen Mary by Gladiator. The dam of Bonnie Rose is Melrose by Childe Harold. The bringing together of Bonnie Scotland with Enquirer introduces us to the Belle Meade Stud in Nashville, Tennessee. These two stallions stood at Belle Meade. Bonnie Scotland was foaled in 1853 and bred in England and
pur
is highlighted by his son Bramble, who was foaled in 1875. Bramble had 50 starts with 31 wins, 16 seconds and 2 thirds. He won stakes races from the age of two to five.
One of the stakes wins was in the 1879 Monmouth Cup. This race was then run at 2 1/4 miles. That is 18 furlongs. Bramble stood for a time at Belle Meade Stud.
Ben Brush was foaled in 1893 and is by Bramble and out of Roseville by Reform by Leamington. The dam of Roseville was

wins, 11 seconds and 5 thirds. His biggest
win would probably be the Travis Stakes. Broomstick sired 69 stakes winners, including Regret, the first filly to win the Kentucky Derby, and Kentucky Derby winner Meridian.
When we want to look at the influence
of Broomstick on Quarter Horse racing,
we need go no further than the great Top Deck – the King Ranch-bred Thoroughbred. Top Deck sired horses like Go Man Go, Moon Deck and many others that have
made him an AQHA Hall of Fame inductee. Top Deck has a 4x4x5x5 breeding pattern
to Broomstick. Equestrian, the sire of Top Deck, is by Equipoise and Equipoise is out
of Swinging by Broomstick. Equestrian is
out of Frillette, who is out of Frillery by Broomstick. Riverboat, the dam of Top Deck, is by Chicaro who is out of Wendy who is out of Remembrance by Broomstick. The dam of River Boat is Last Boat out of Taps who is out of Shady by Broomstick.
Here are some sire line examples of the influence of Ben Brush on the Quarter Horse. Whisk Broom II, by Broomstick, is the sire
of John P. Grier, who is the sire of Jack High. Jack High is the sire of With Regards, the sire of Direct Win, who is the sire of Assured, the second dam of Streakin Six, who is the sire
of LaGalla Win, the second dam of Rocket Wrangler, who is the sire of Dash For Cash. Sweep, a son of Ben Brush, is the sire of Eternal, the sire of Ariel, who is the sire of 1943 and 1945 AQHA Racing Champion Stallion Piggin String. Piggin String is the sire of horses like 1953 AQHA Champion 3-Year- Old Colt/Champion Stallion Rukin String.
Here are more examples of the influence of Ben Brush on Quarter Horse racing. Civil Maid, the second dam of Three Bars, is by Patriot by Ben Brush. Glyn, the third dam of Direct Win, is by Delhi by Ben Brush. Gold Dream, the dam of Direct Win, is by Time Supply by Time Maker by The Porter by Sweep by Ben Brush.
Himyar is the next stallion we will look into as a Thoroughbred influence on Quarter Horse racing. He was foaled in 1875 by Alarm by Eclipse by Orlando by Touchstone by Camel by Whalebone. Himyar sired three individuals that have been instrumental in Quarter Horse racing. They are Domino, his full sister Correction and Plaudit.
The famous racehorse Joe Blair is by Bonnie Joe by Faustus by Enquirer, who had a significant influence on Quarter Horses.
1942 Champion Stallion Joe Reed II is by Joe Reed P-3 by Joe Blair.
