Bernardini
His offspring continue to get way too much respect.
In 2011, Bernardini offspring had a record of 379-66-42-41 and an ROI of a miserable $1.40 (basically double the takeout)
And that was with 24 more winners than 2nd place finishers!
Normally, whenever there is a big sample, the outlier low year from an ROI standpoint almost always comes when the 2nd and 3rd place finishes are high in volume in relation to the number of winners.
In 2012, Bernardini offspring have a record of 443-66-60-50 and an ROI of $1.12 (about triple the takeout)
In a lot of instances, his lighter raced horses attract betting for no reason at all. It's almost like the dumbest money in the pool tends to all gravitate that way.
