Bernardini leads the fan poll on who Havre De Grace (Saint Liam-Carson City) should be bred to.

It's been a rough year for Bernardini offspring.

They have a combined record of 578-81-77-72 (just 14% winners and unbelievably brutal $1.03 ROI)

Bernardini offspring are 58-5-6-4 with a $1.01 ROI on debut.

Only one 2yo first-time starter sired by Bernardini has won this year ... that one was Dewey Square, who won his debut at Hoosier Park.

Of the four older debut winners, one was at River Downs, one was at Tampa, one was sprinting down-the-hill at Santa Anita, and the final was Zenyatta's half sister with the French sounding name.

Bernardini offspring produced a terrible ROI of just $1.40 last year ... his 3 millionaires have been Stay Thirsty, To Honor And Serve, and Alpha.

He's got a Rachel Alexandra foal and a Zenyatta foal on the way, but he hasn't been living up to the 150K stud fee and the popularity he has with breeders and fans alike.
