			 If the Moss's put Bernardini and Quennies's baby into a yearling sale. Assuming he's correct.  
		
	
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	
		
		
	
	
	What would he bring? Be schocked if it was less than The Green Monkey who weighed in at a cool $16,000,000. OOOF. I put the reserve at $25,000,000. Insane?  |

			 I am serious. I also freely admit I know very little about these kind of things. That's why I used The Green Monkey as an example.

			 Wait a second weren't you a bloodstock agent? Remember when Garcia stiffed that horse and then you tried to make a deal for the horse? Shouldn't you be a quasi expert?

			 As a yearling (TGM was a 2yo when he sold and his "price" is disputed) a Bernardini/Z colt (if very correct) would probably bring a couple of million, especially since Sheik Mo bids on the Bernardinis.

			 Bernardini had 67 yearlings offered at public auction last year. None sold for higher than $1.2 million. 
		
	
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	
		
		
	
	
	Two years ago, his highest priced yearling was $800K. He gets bred to a whole lot of good race mares and producers. Zenyatta was only a $60,000 yearling herself: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MP8VFLO25Q4 You know a few buyers would reach badly for her 1st offspring at auction and it only takes two. Even with that said -- if 70 Bernardini's are offered as yearlings that year -- this one would probably have to have a consensus top 5 look to get past $3 million. The Green Monkey has nothing to do with any yearling. He was about a 500K or so purchase as a yearling and he had relatively unremarkable breeding.  |
