Carrumba is out of Castanet, a daughter of El Prado and Bernardini is the sire of Grade I winner Rachel's Valentina out of a mare by Medaglia d'Oro, a son of El Prado.

Carrumba capped a good weeked for Bernardini whose three-year-old daughter Lewis Bay won the Grade II Gazelle Stakes at Aqueduct on Saturday with Carrumba the sixth Graded winner for the stallion in 2016,

Bernardini covered the 2015 season at Darley in the Hunter Valley at an advertised fee of $27,500.
