When I used this term I meant that the horses had ancestors who were famous 
and had a reputation (according to what  people I knew told me) for producing 
good horses.  Their sire was a nice horse as an individual, and the grandsire 
had done well in halter and in some limited performance showing and was sired 
by Aladdin.  Their dam line went to Bay Abi and some other big time horse 
whose name I've forgotten or blocked out.  As a complete newcomer to 
Arabians, all I knew was that I had actually heard of those horses and that 
the people who were introducing me to Arabians raved about how well bred the 
fillies I purchased were.
