Actually, only the "K" of CMK refers to Kellogg.  One can have CMK with no 
Kellogg breeding at all if the pedigree traces back to other CMK sources 
(Crabbet itself, Maynesboro/WR Brown, the James Dean circle in the Midwest, 
Homer Davenport, etc.).  The sire line and the dam line must be CMK and the 
horse must have at least 75% of the pedigree CMK in order to qualify.  With a 
horse that is 75% CMK with a CMK dam line and a Spanish sire line, if that 
Spanish sire line happened to be from Crabbet, then as far as I know, the 
horse would qualify.  Determining the actual source of the sire line would be 
the determining factor here if the pedigree percentage is correct.
