Yes! One of my favorite families. This is the family of Cherokee Rose/Royal Rose/Belle Rose. This family is responsible for a huge amount of breed-changing members such as Storm Cat, Terlingua, Pioneering, Royal Academy, Potheen, Erin, Shananigans, Ruffian, Icecapade, Coronado's Quest, Private Terms, Crafty Admiral, Red Dog, Hennessy, Jaipur, Rare Perfume, Personal Hope, Pancho Villa, Intent, Majestic Light, Irish Castle, etc. As you can see, this family is tremendous in class.

On a side note, its my belief that the Crimson Saint got most her speed from her sire's dam, Papila. She's the reason I think Tiznow should see Storm Cat mares. She's, in my opinion, the best and classiest source of speed in pedigrees today.
