Bit of a silly question. But was he crabbet or polish? Or am I way off the mark? |

Yes, *of course* it was Russia! Sorry, senior moment there 
No-one can doubt the contribution Crabbet made to the Russian programme

He was Crabbet

The next substantial purchase by the Russian government was a group of 25 horses from Crabbet Park in 1936. Unlike the French horses that were strong on athleticism but lacking in type, the Crabbet contingent contributed an ingredient of beauty and elegance. The star of the importation was Skowronek's son Naseem (out of Nasra, a granddaughter of Mesaoud). Naseem would serve as an important sire in Russia for 17 years and gained worldwide influence, especially through Negativ and Negativ's sons Nabor and Salon. On the female side, the Crabbet-bred mares proved to be great crosses with the French lines and they (and their daughters) have produced numerous outstanding sons. |

He was all all Crabbet by the definition that says Crabbet is Blunt plus Polish (Skowronek). However, Naseem was *exported* to Poland in later life, so has Polish descendants
