His ped is so similar to Bernardini's, I can see why they retired him early. Personally, I don't understand why they would retire a perfectly sound horse that probably had more to offer, but hey, I don't own him. I actually liked him a lot more than Point Determined for what it's worth.

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....

I think that's precisely what they're going to do, unfortunately. And I truly believe that people will send their mares to him for that very reason.

Unforgettable Max is indeed a full brother to AA, though...

A.P. Warrior is not a full to Bernie. Shiat, I can see the attraction because Bernardini is one hell of a horse, but I can almost guarantee that Bernardini has a better chance of reproducing himself than A.P. Warrior does. Personally, I'd almost rather pay the $200k stud fee.

no doubt that's what they're going to do...other ads for horses in bloodhorse tout similar 'bargains'.
