John Ferguson, bloodstock advisor to owner Sheikh Mohammed bin
Rashid al Maktoum said, "Bernardini is very special. It's been a fantastic
weekend. Saratoga's been a fantastic day today. From our point of
view, we had the great Dubai Millennium who was simply spectacular.
Bernardini is a great horse and we couldn't be more pleased. I'm so
pleased that Sheikh Rashid, Sheikh Mohammed's son is here because he's a
huge enthusiast. As far as the industry is
concerned, I believe this horse is a superstar. What makes this horse
so special is that he's by A.P. Indy, who as you know is one of the
great sires living today, his mother is a Grade 1 winner, he is a
superstar of a racehorse and he's a superstar of a physical specimen as
well."
