Not one of my favorite horses, but the pedigree - Round Table, Dr. Fager, Buckpasser, Mr. Prospector, Northern Dancer, Spectacular Bid, Secretariat (Bold Ruler on both sides), Seattle Slew, etc. - Wow.
I am from Uruguay and I think it was a good horse INVASOR by his maternal grandfather INTERPRETE and no for candy stripes .- The best stallion for Zenyatta would be Mingun (A.P.Indy X Miesque x Nureyev)
I applaud the decision by the Moss's to breed Zenyatta with Bernardini. He's already established himself as one of the premier young sires in the breeding industry. Owners from the US and Europe are snapping up his offspring in droves, and his genes have proven to be as equally effective on turf as they have on conventional dirt. Most notably among his Euro offspring winning graded stakes races in Europe are the filly, Theysken's Theory, and Biondetti, who's his first G1 winner in Italy in 2010.
@diegomeznocedo, Yes sir, I remember Bernardini's loss to Invasor by a length in the 2006 BC Classic. Invasor was a class horse in his own right. But in all candor, I feel like Javier Castellano got Bernardini beat in that race as much as Invasor actually beat him. Castellano made a very premature move on Bernardini in the Classic that day. Watch the replay, and you'll see what I'm talking about. But that's not a knock in anyway at Invasor, because he was awfully talented, too. JMO.
So Bernardini, and Zenyatta, also Curlin being bred to Rachel Alexandra, now heres a good idea, if we get a filly out of either, and then a colt out of the other couple, breed them, now that'd be a super horse.
I hope they have a colt. I just watched a video on Zenyatta as a yearling when she was being assessed. She was so perfect, the only wish was that she had been a colt. I betcha she would have been a Triple Crown winner. That being said, I LOVE Zenyatta & Rachel Alexandra--2 of the most awesome HORSES in recent memory.
Bernardinin has got to be one of the classiest young sires out there right now. Bernardini and Zenyatta could produce one the the classiest colts in a long long time. I'll be there when this 2 or 3 year old hits the track for the first time..
@BarrelRacingPaints -- I'm curious. To me, Zenyatta's too tall, but clean, uphill, and elastic. Bernardini looks to have good overall balance, maybe a bit downhill for my taste, but with a good neck set and nice shoulder. From what I can see of his eyes, I'd worry that the foal might be smart and hot-hot-hot, but TB people deal with that. More importantly, runners closely related to this cross are already winning. Nothing jumps out at me. Why do you say they aren't good looking?
Bernardini was a rele talented race horse. hes a good match for Queen Z. thing is they are BOTH rele tall horses xD thats gonna be a big baby for the momma to carry xP
if Zenyatta has a filly i hope Secretariats blood holds strong. Not sure this horse is really the stud so much as the glamor of his pedigree. These two share numerous horses in their pedigree like Tom Fool and Hail to Reason. What i would like out to see of the foal: about 16.7 HH, head runner just off the pace of the leader, and a filly, red or golden chestnut
Never will anyone forget Rachel Alexandra. Its literally impossible. What about Rachels man? CURLIN. Two HOTYs having a foal together. Thats a match made in heaven.
When Rachel A. was at Lanes End did bloodhorse manage to catch any footage of her? I'm dying to see a video of her but I can only settle for pictures :(
I think the two of them look like they go together, he is as handsome as she is beautiful. I think the two of their talents brought together will produce a beautiful, and very talented foal that we will speak of forever. Michele
He's SEXYFIED!

Considering their dominantly bay ancestry, the foal will most likely Dark-Bay. Considering both of them are.
