The Thoroughbred influence on the American Quarter Horse is evident
in the million-dollar sire lists we have profiled in this annual Million Dollar Sire issue. The Thoroughbreds Three Bars and Top Deck represent the dominant sire lines in the Quarter Horse today. These two stallions served as an outcross on the established bloodlines with a great deal of success. But there are other sire lines that have made an impact as an outcross. One of those is the sire line established by Nasrullah, a famous Thoroughbred that is the foundation of a prominent sire line in the Thoroughbred today. Tapit is the #1 all-time leading sire of money earners in North America with earnings of over $181 million. Tapit is sired by Pulpit by AP Indy by Seattle Slew by Bold Reasoning by Boldnesian by Bold Ruler by Nasrullah.
A look at Nasrullah and his sire line will also give us an opportunity to delve into the dam side of the pedigree, looking at how several of the horses we will profile have genetic ties to horses like Top Deck. To do this review of Nasrullah, we will rely on Avalyn Hunter’s great website American
