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

The Fat Man's two favorite horses hook-up.

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

No kidding.
The Bernmafia and the Zenyattards united?

The day that demon-offspring is entered in a race may be the day I retire from horsey boards.

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

That is really some thread. In a lot of ways.

Barbaro and Discreet Cat had a few pretty kooky fans as well.

Well, they can't breed her to Nicanor. He's not retired yet, and Dynaformer doesn't take maiden mares so that's out. Darn. No fan-plosion in 2012.

AP Indy's no spring chicken. Maybe they don't want him trying to mount a 17+ hand maiden.

Nicanor has done enough

Do you think that Three Chimneys or whomever runs Dynaformer's career would decline breeding to Zenyatta? Maybe, but call me skeptical.

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.
