Stud Record
In his first crop, he sired Travers Stakes winner and Belmont Stakes runner-up Stay Thirsty, Group I stakes winner Biondetti, Grade I winners A Z Warrior and To Honor and Serve, and graded stakes winner Theysken's Theory. His second crop may prove as strong or stronger than the first, with graded stakes—winning colts Alpha and Algorithms.
Bernardini's success as a sire has attracted many top broodmares and racemares. On January 26, 2011, Jerry Moss and his wife Ann announced that Bernardini would be the first mate of the 2010 Horse of the Year when Zenyatta was booked to him later that season. She foaled in March 2012. Zenyatta's dam and 2008 Kentucky Broodmare of the Year Vertigineux produced a Bernardini filly named Eblouissante in 2009.
Visiting Bernardini in 2012 were 2009 Horse of the Year and American Champion Three-Year-Old Filly Rachel Alexandra and 2010 American Champion Three-Year-Old Filly Blind Luck.

Famous quotes containing the word record:
“The case of Andrews is really a very bad one, as appears by the record already before me. Yet before receiving this I had ordered his punishment commuted to imprisonment ... and had so telegraphed. I did this, not on any merit in the case, but because I am trying to evade the butchering business lately.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
