Bernardini is going to become an outstanding sire though. As a stallion, he has it all.

i won't rehash slews accomplishments at two, three and four. everyone knows his record.
i don't agree bernardini showed as much talent. he certainly didn't show any precocity as slew did. and of course slew never allowed his peers to catch up with him either.

as for having it all as a stallion...so did plugged nickel. a lot of horses with fantastic pedigrees end up standing in obscure places for less than huge money. bernardini will have a better shot than many at making it, as he'll get the BEST of mares. but he still has a an 80% chance of being a failure.
