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 .

Got you! I didn't know he was a good broodmare sire! This makes me happy to know as he was one of my favorite horses. Thanks for clarifying Richard.

Sort of like saying she has a great personalty

Just think it's ironic that the second place horse in the last two Classics at CD - both of whom failed as favorites - end up getting to know eachother romantically.
