Moss keeps his stock at Mill Ridge but ships the Queen to Lanes End only to breed at Darley. You think Farish is a little pissed they didnt take Smart Strike or attempt Indy?

MR probably doesn't want the hassle. I'm sure they knew who they were breeding to some time ago.

Zenyatta's people may have said some ridiculous things and played to the insanity a bit much but they haven't been successful in the business by being stupid. AP Indy and Dynaformer are simply not good matches with her. It was a bit out of the box to go to such a young stallion but IMO a pretty good choice. Especially if they intend on selling a colt as Freddy suggested.

I would think the bidding on a good looking Bernardini Zenyatta colt starts at 3mil and if the Sheik elects to own it is a world record. Especially if the next few crops of Bernardini's are as or more successful then this group. I cant image not selling a colt nor can I imagine Team Moss ever selling a filly. How do you not take a shot at 10 plus mil on a colt that is 18 months old?

Who knows? Moss is an old dude with a lot of money.

Bernardini is sired by AP Indy. I guess that is not the same but close enough.
Who is a good match?

She isnt the easiest mare to breed. More importantly the polictics of the stallion become important at auction with such a high profile foal. If you breed her to a Darley stallion Team Dubai is likely to support the potential sale. That is a nice insurance policy. Plus Bernardini aint chopped liver at least so far.

Any thoughts as to why they didn't go with A.P. Indy? Why might Bernardini be a better match?

Why not breed her to Blame. At least she will be in front this time.

Zenyatta to Bernardini = ZENFANDINI

It sounds a bit Kendall-Jackson. but, it lingers nice on the palate.

Yeah, about eight seconds after I posted that, Curlin came to mind. So really I just wanted to get Curlin and RAchel in a thread on Zenyatta.

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 .
