Those are what drives the market.

Perhaps you dont realize this but the word "bad crop" doesn't exist in Lexington, KY.
Then there's the fact that Bernardini and Zenyatta knew each other in the biblical sense so we have that bundle of goldspun joy to look forward to, aka the 2015 Triple Crown winner per the Z fan boards (I actually haven't been to them, but we all know that's one thing they say). You've also got her half-sis Eblouissante by Bernardini. They seem optimistic that he fits well with that family.

Knowing that there is a strong chance that Sh Mo will be looking at your Bernardini baby as a yearling is alot of added value. At the sales every one chatters and people know who the "big buyers" are checking out. Even if he doesn't buy him Sh. Mo ads a bit of interest to your youngster. he has most certainly supported Bernardini and one presumes he will continue to do so.

seeing as many of her fans thought she could win the tc at six, should they enter her, i don't know that we have to worry about them going on and on about the offspring. other than it's 'soo pretty' of course!
