If their respective fanbases are any indication, this should be a match made in heaven.

If they get a colt the Sheik will have to have him.

I don't remember Bernardini having many rabid fans ... other than The Fat Man.

He got called the "best horse ever." People who didn't bow at the altar before the BCC were automatically labeled "haters," no matter how much thought they put into explaining why they weren't totally convinced. Much focus was put on his beautiful action and fluid movement as a reason to be forced to agree that he was "great," rather than his races themselves.

Sounds awfully familiar, and the most recent time that a racehorse seems to have spawned legions of obnoxious fawning fans whose ability to have a rational conversation somehow always ended the moment his name showed up in a post.

Thank god Smoothie wasn't around then.

Moss keeps his stock at Mill Ridge but ships the Queen to Lanes End only to breed at Darley. You think Farish is a little pissed they didnt take Smart Strike or attempt Indy?

MR probably doesn't want the hassle. I'm sure they knew who they were breeding to some time ago.

Zenyatta's people may have said some ridiculous things and played to the insanity a bit much but they haven't been successful in the business by being stupid. AP Indy and Dynaformer are simply not good matches with her. It was a bit out of the box to go to such a young stallion but IMO a pretty good choice. Especially if they intend on selling a colt as Freddy suggested.

I would think the bidding on a good looking Bernardini Zenyatta colt starts at 3mil and if the Sheik elects to own it is a world record. Especially if the next few crops of Bernardini's are as or more successful then this group. I cant image not selling a colt nor can I imagine Team Moss ever selling a filly. How do you not take a shot at 10 plus mil on a colt that is 18 months old?

Bernardini is sired by AP Indy. I guess that is not the same but close enough.
Who is a good match?
