You don't know what you are going to get: Bernardini or Indy Storm, but to proclaim that they are going to be great based on pedigree is rediculous...

They have these little cartoon's on the wall in the Sports Bar at Keeneland, my favorite has two foals staring at each other across a fence, one with a caption above his head with his pedigree and all of these "well bred" horses in it, the other foal has a question mark above his head and the foal is looking at the "well bred" foal, like he could care less, it's beautiful...
