Of course that was always the knock on Bid ; his very weak family . Probably rightfully so . Much weaker than IC's who does show female vibrance in 1941 with Dog Blessed . Bid was a freak of nature , somehow overcoming his family shortcomings on the track and somehow passing on some good genes through his fillies .

Of course the physical matches are as important as the paper matches . Bernardini is 16.1 1/2 h so we expect a large horse . We know Zenyatta is 17h +.
