El Paso was chief progenitor of Kuhailan Haifi or.Ar - Wielki Szlem branch in Poland. He was used in the Polish breeding program in 1972-1975 at Michalów Stud and 1979-1981 at Janów Podlaski Stud. He raced 2 seasons at the race track in Poland and did 19 starts with the results (3-3-3). In 1976 he became Scottsdale Champion Stallion and US National Champion Stallion when on lease to Lasma Arabians. He was in the U.S.A. on a three year lease deal between the years 1976-1978. El Paso's stud fee was $5,000 in 1976. Despite grand offers from the US, Poland refused to sell him. It was not until 1981, with a check of $1000,000 and big enough to make Poland (as well as the rest of the world) gasp, Dr. Armand Hammer purchased the handsome bay stallion. Upon his return to the United States, El Paso stood at Town & Country Farms in Florida where he was promoted as a race sire. El Paso died in 1995, at the age of 28 of cancer.

Czort was the sire of El Paso and an excellent racer and twice winner of Criterium. He was a very important sire in post-war breeding in Poland, known as a sire of excellent performance horses. Czort was used for breeding between the years 1959 - 1972. He raced 19 races in four seasons with the results (13-5-1). Czort procuced 15 stallions, 4 of them were used in Poland.

Ellora was a bay mare born in 1950 in Poland and she never left the country. She was one of the most important Polish broodmatrons.

Ellora died in 1984.
