SPEEDLINES
race was for 1 mile. Bonnie Beryl was her biggest money earner. Bonnie Maginn
was sired by War Cloud by Polymelus
by Cyllene and War Cloud’s dam was Dreamy by Persimmon. The dam of Bonnie Maginn was Bonnie Mary by Ultimus by Commando by Domino, and Ultimus was out of Running Stream by Domino. This gives Bonnie Beryl a 4x4 breeding pattern to Commando and a 5x5x5 breeding pattern to Domino. Bonnie Mary is out of Belgravia by Ben Brush. This makes Bonnie Beryl a Domino/Ben Brush cross. Belgravia is also the dam of Black Toney, a successful sire of horses like Black Gold, a Kentucky Derby winner, and his full brother Beggar Boy, who is in many Quarter Horse pedigrees. Beggar Boy is the sire of Black Widder,
the seventh dam in the tail female line of leading Quarter Horse sire FDD Dynasty. Belgravia is out of Bonnie Gal, who is out of Bonnie Doon, who is out of Bonnie Mary, the dam of Bonnie Scotland, the sire of the dam of Bonnie Joe, the sire of the dam of Useeit, the dam of Black Gold and Beggar Boy. Bonnie Joe is the sire of Joe Blair, the sire of Joe Reed P-3, the sire of Joe Reed II, the sire of Leo.
Blue One, the dam of Azure Te, won
two races in six starts at two earning $1,695. She is the dam of 10 foals with 8 starters,
six winners and one stakes winner in Azure Te. Her other foals include Kent C, who sired 123 foals with 85 starters with seven stakes winners including Kenscraft, winner of three stakes that include the Mid-Peninsula Stakes and the Golden Gate Juvenile Stakes. Her daughter Pea Jacket won four of her 26 starts earning $17,215. She is the dam of

Nasrullah was sired by Nearco, the son
of Pharos and Nogara by Havresac. The

as the “Flying Filly” because of her blazing speed. She was the Champion Two Year
Old in 1923 and the Champion Sprinter
in England. Lady Josephine, the dam of Mumtaz Mahal, was another noted sprinter having won the Coventry Stakes at 6 furlongs. This is also a race that The Tetrarch won the year before Lady Josephine won the race. Then we can add that Nasrullah won the race along with Tudor Minstrel, another grandson of Lady Josephine. Some others that will show up in our speed pedigrees that won this race would include Rock Sand,
the sire of the dam of Man O’ War, and Persimmon, a son of St Simon.
