I disagree, Danzig. AP Indy is off to a very promising start as a sire of sires. Pulpit is very good, though somewhat inconsistent. Malibu Moon is a solid sire, Old Trieste has sired some nice ones...Mineshaft is clearly his best son (thus far) and I think will be a superior sire. Also, Pulpit's son Sky Mesa is extremely highly regarded and his yearlings sold very well, so that line will continue (it looks like).
I really think Bernardini will run next year; Sheikh Mohammed is clearly reveling in his horse's performances and having a grand old time. I'm sure he wants his homebred to be considered a really great horse, and that would mean running as a 4 year old.
