Especially if they intend on selling a colt as Freddy suggested.
Bernardini is sired by AP Indy. I guess that is not the same but close enough.
Who is a good match?

She isnt the easiest mare to breed. More importantly the polictics of the stallion become important at auction with such a high profile foal. If you breed her to a Darley stallion Team Dubai is likely to support the potential sale. That is a nice insurance policy. Plus Bernardini aint chopped liver at least so far.

Any thoughts as to why they didn't go with A.P. Indy? Why might Bernardini be a better match?

I still think it's because Bernardini is passing along speed to his offspring, but then again he is a risk as a young sire who hasn't proven it over a period of time. Indy is aging (didn't have a great year this year) and his fertility is down...........I also read that Zenyatta's half by Bernardini is very well regarded, so that could have something to do with it.

A P Indy is supposedly falling off in fertility, and Bernardini is an A P Indy son?!~

Why not breed her to Blame. At least she will be in front this time.

Zenyatta to Bernardini = ZENFANDINI

It sounds a bit Kendall-Jackson. but, it lingers nice on the palate.

Yeah, about eight seconds after I posted that, Curlin came to mind. So really I just wanted to get Curlin and RAchel in a thread on Zenyatta.
