what do you mean "tighten up the confirmation"?!! fly her over it can't hurt one year to have a foal by the Great FRANKEL

Bernadini has a more symmetrical conformation. Zenyatta is perfect but a very big rangy mare. That's all. They compare bloodlines and it's not all some random or fantasy choosing.

It's All LUCK. 3% winners to Thoroughbred foals born. P.S. there No Perfect horse and never will be. 99.8% is not 100% Perfect.

I've been betting horses since age five and still can't judge them visually, except once, when a horse named Margarita Man SHINED in the paddock, to the point where I almost bet him, and he won by fifteen.

porque metes a un pre en un video de psi? los pre seran preciosos pero no tienen su rapidez, y estos son mucho mas caros y internacionales

+rockin roy Wise Dan is a gelding.

ok what about frankel??? this horse won all of his 14 races with legendary grace...zenyatta and frankel both loved to win every race. look at all the races of frankel on how much he won over the other horses...check out the video on youtube: frankel: the wonder horse ...you can name the horse ZENKEL...

That would be good

the foal will be inbred 2 X 3 to Roberto. Will that be good?

Well im sorry if i dont know every horses full pedigree.

Sorry it is actually 3 X 4 to Roberto

The fact that Barbaro broke down in itself may indicate that his genes were not of the best quality. Speed and endurance aren't the only factors that make a great racehorse. Strong bones are also important. Barbaro's links to Native Dancer (a very successful sire, but one who is suspected to have a tendency to produce soft-boned descendants) may have predisposed him to weaker bones. Though I am aware that Bernadini also has links to Native Dancer, but so far he seems sturdy enough, so he may not be affected by undesirable genes. I don't personally consider him to be one of the finest horses though, so I wouldn't have picked him for Zenyatta had she been mine. Still, it is up to the owners, and Cozmic One (the result of the mating) is currently in training I believe, so I'll give him a chance before I pass any judgment. I am wary of Native Dancer's bloodline in general however. The successes of him and his descendants at stud has resulted in an alarming amount of inbreeding in a very large number of bloodlines. Raise A Native, Mr. Prospector, Northern Dancer etc. dominate far too many bloodlines in my opinion. 'Glass cannons' like Eight Belles or the famous Ruffian are sometimes the result of this.

Even if Barbaro had won the 2006 Preakness -- even if he had won the Triple Crown -- I wouldn't necessarily assume Z's owners would have picked him. Bernadini may have been better suited for her in terms of pedigree and/or conformation. Even if Bernadini had not won the Preakness, he was an accomplished race horse -- he won the Grade 1 Travers and Jockey Club Gold Cup, and had several other graded stakes wins. Barbaro might have been proving a disappointment at stud by the 2011 breeding season. (*Not* saying that would have been the case, just that it's always a possibility.) Revisiting this comment of mine - I was careless, I was not counting. "Even if" Barbaro had been retired to stud at 4, he would have had only 2 crops hit the track by 2011 - and at the time of the 2011 breeding season, his second crop would be young 2-yr-olds and few would have started. Not enough time, in other words, for the horse to have proved himself one way or the other as a stud. If only he had had the chance. : (

pmatch yassss

Great parents rarely mean great foals.

SHE???? oh dear......

He's a good looking stallion don't get me wrong, but just doesn't fit Zenyatta as a breeding pair.

little becemo some horses need that. It really depends on it's temperment. Or maybe the rider thought it would be best.

You've clearly never been around a stallion before. They're insanely strong, especially around mares that are in season. The chain is needed to keep them under control.
