Cullen Arabian Horse Pedigree

Bred in the Royal Stud of the Emperor of Morocco, where he was said to be prized for the purity of his blood, he was presented to the British Consul there.
A notable broodmare sire, he sired the unnamed dam (b.f. 1756) of the Old England Mare (b.f. 1766) the modern taproot mare of Family 2-t and ancestress of a host of grand performers and sires, such as the Champion Sire Blacklock (b.c. 1814), Sir Hercules (bl.c. 1826), the Derby winner Teddington (ch.c. 1848) and the St. Leger winner St. Albans (ch.c. 1857). Another unnamed daughter (f. 1749) became the ancestress of the St. Leger winner and Champion Sire Filho da Puta (br.c. 1812).
In Virginia his influence was widespread. He sired *Aristotle (br.c. 1755) who sired the matron Brandon (f. 1765), who in turn became the dam of a number of important early sires, including Meade's Celer (c. 1776), Clodius (b.c. 1778), and Edward's Quicksilver (gr.c. 1783). The Cullen Arabian also *Little Skim (br.c. 1756).
His daughter Spotswood's *Diana (gr.f. 1754), the taproot mare of Family 12-b, proved to a gem. Before export to America she produced the dam of Conductor (ch.c. 1767), a link in the Matchem sire line. *Diana, sometimes erroneously called Duchess or Diamond, also produced Spotswood's Apollo (b.c. 1767), Fitzhugh's True Whig (ch.c. 1775), and the unnamed mare (f. c1766) by *Jack of Diamonds who became the ancestress of Lexington (b.c. 1850).
The Cullen Arabian died at Rushton in 1761.
