Actually, I think the ONLY reason he is going to stud is because he has a percieved value due to the fact that he is an A.P. Indy out of a Quiet American mare like Bernardini is - so the marketing campaign can be tailored towards that.....
Still, he is and always will be unfulfilled talent....
Bernardini will stand anywhere from $200,000 - $250,000 IMO...he is that marketable commercially...maybe Stonewall is going to use the "Get to a graded stakes winner bred the same as Bernardini for 5% of the price" angle....
