I do apologize for jumping all over you... but I just hear SO many remarks against owners when they make a business decision about their horse. Trust me, when you own one, its a COMPLETELY different perspective.

The main reason I want to see him fail at stud is because I don't want more horses like him to be retired sound at the end of their 3yo season because they are considered "can't miss sires". Maybe a horse like Bernardini being a miserable failure in the shed would encourage more owners in the future to hold off on the shed and let their horse realize its' potential on the track since he's no sure thing in the shed.
