Also, Pulpit's son Sky Mesa is extremely highly regarded and his yearlings sold very well, so that line will continue (it looks like).

I really think Bernardini will run next year; Sheikh Mohammed is clearly reveling in his horse's performances and having a grand old time. I'm sure he wants his homebred to be considered a really great horse, and that would mean running as a 4 year old.

pulpit is unsound as the day as long, much as i like him, i don't think he's a good representative. malibu moon is showing promise, we'll see. old trieste sadly passed away.

mineshaft is a darn good prospect, as is bernardini. i hope ap indy has a lasting influence as a sire...
