It's a date--between Zenyatta and Bernardini that it. According to Bloodhorse, owners Jerry and Ann Moss have made a "match" between two Eclipse Award winners. That would be Zenyatta, Horse of the Year in 2011 and Bernardini, Champion Three Year Old male in 2006.
Lest anyone forget, Bernardini was the horse who won the Preakness after Barbaro's unfortunate breakdown. He is also the son of A. P. Indy and to date, has sired a grade I winner, A Z Warrior and Italian group 1 winner, Biondetti. His first crop of offspring raced in 2010 and Bernardini was the leading freshman sire based on the number of graded/group winners.
So what do the stars hold for the offspring of these two champions? Trust me, if everyone knew how to breed a Kentucky Derby winner, everyone would be doing it. One never knows how these things will turn out until they do turn out. Pedigree and luck seem to play equal parts.
No word yet on the official "date" but we will know if and when anything happens!
