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.
