2006 Travers and King's Bishop Stakes

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."
