The Blue Lotus (Grinfromeartoear – Zenterfold – In The Pocket) is looking for a sire this coming breeding season.
Remember – the judging is done on the quality and amount of thought put into your suggestion, rather than whether or not I agree with the choice.
Don’t just tell me WHO, tell me WHY!!!
You can nominate any commercial sire – so long as he is available to NZ breeders. I’ve noted some I have considered briefly myself – you can choose one of these, if you want. They are no more likely to win than a sire I haven’t looked at. Because the competition is a way of showcasing thoughtful breeding decisions. There is no right or wrong answer.
The deadline is 31 July 2014. Join in the fun! Enjoy doing the research or having a go!
The prize is 5% share in the foal resulting from that 2014 breeding season match, with no further expenses to be paid.
If that seems a small percent, consider that The Blue Lotus’ first foal sold for $26,000 at the yearling sales this year, which would result in a prize value of about $1000.
I have received a good number of entries so far, and would love to have more. You can submit more than one for different sires – one sire per entry please.
