I have the splendid satisfaction of not only being the first to predict big things for Bernardini ...

... but also to know that he's from the Bold Ruler line ... and will likely keep it going in sumptuous fashion.

Not only is Bernardini from the Bold Ruler line ... he's inbred to him (5x4) x 4 ... through his marvelous sons Boldnesian, Secretariat, and Bold Bidder.

The latter two were champion race horses ... and Boldnesian was a G1 winner who may have become a champion ... were he not injured.

Blood and class aren't guaranteed to produce champions ...

... but they sure help.
