I just noticed the Bernardini and Hook and Ladder are from the same familiy with a nexus at Fairway Fable . Ole Hook is in the Phillipines however .

Hey Richard, could you help me understand your comment. I am positive I am interpreting your comment wrong.

What do you mean it's nice to see Spectacular Bid off his family. I thought the Bid was just an average sire.

Are you saying that you are happy Bernardini has the Bid in his pedigree because that means Zenyatta's chances of having a good offspring from Bernardini are smaller?

Sorry I am just so confused at what you mean because although the Bid is a great horse I think it's bad to have him in your pedigree because he did not produce great offspring.

Can you please explain to me why it's good that Bid is in Bernardini's pedigree. I apologize if this is a dumb question I am a little bit in the dark when it comes to matters of what looks good in pedigrees. I'd like to learn and would greatly appreciate an explanation

Bid was a good broodmare sire . It's just nice to see his name in a pedigree as well .

I actually like this because Bernardini has been passing along speed to his offspring (Stay Thirsty, Buffum, To Honor and Serve, Heron Lake, etc.........).

I think he could be a better choice than Indy. I wonder if the Mosses liked the Bernardini half to Zenyatta.......and if that's a reason to breed him to her. Nice coup for Bernardini!

Default TB Times: Help (pretend to) name the Bernardini-Zenyatta foal

http://www.thoroughbredtimes.com/bre...dini-foal.aspx

There's a naming contest for the Bernardini-Zenyatta foal by Thoroughbred Times. I'm sure there's virtually no shot of her offspring actually being named by the winner, but you never know, someone could submit a name other than Bernyatta or Zendini and the Mosses might faint from shock and pick it.

Winner gets a prize package of the Zenyatta commemorative issue and back Thoroughbred Times issues with her on the cover.
