Bantiss Princess is due in season and I asked you to vote on which sire would be most suitable. You voted for Ballymac Maeve. 157 of you voted - thanks a bunch. I will inform you when I make a decision on what we do with Princess.
Just going back through other polls I hosted on the blog it is interesting to ponder If I re-asked the questions, would the results be the same?
YOU GOT THIS ONE WRONG!
Last year prior to the Irish Derby 164 of you voted on what trainer would win the Irish Derby. A whopping 51.8% of you went for Pat Buckley whereas on 2.4% of you correctly opted or Shelbourne Aston's trainer Pat Curtin.
SAND MAN A BETTER IMPORT THAN TOP HONCHO
I asked what imported stud dog was the greatest to arrive on Ireland's shores and 44.8% chose Sand Man who narrowly beat Top Honcho.
HAIL SKIPPING CHICK
The most important damline in UK and Irish breeding was judged to be that of Skipping Chick - 59.5% of votes went the way of the white and fawn bitch.
NATIONAL PUPPY STAKE THE JUVENILE PACE SETTER
The National Puppy Stake was voted - 40% - as the most important juvenile event in Ireland with the Produce Stakes coming in 2nd with 20%.
WIN YOUR TRIAL TO BE ELIGIBLE TO RACE
When asked about qualifying times (currently a ridiculously easy 31.00 for the 525y) you gave a most surprising answer - 32.7% voted that all pups should have to win their grading trial and do a miminimum time standard. Next most popular was that grading time be slashed into 30.50 and quite a few thought 30.20.
INSPECT THE STUD DOG
On the breeding side of things, 42.9% of bantissgreyhounds.blogs.com readers said they always inspected a sire before deciding whether he would be used on their brood bitch.
