Which Sadlers Wells son/grandson do you want in the game?

  • New Approach
  • Sixties Icon
  • Frankel
  • So You Think
  • Yeats

0 voters

Note: As there are currently 9 top choices and I’ll only add 5, there’s no guarantee that the winner of this poll will be added to the game (in 2017, anyway). Just FYI.

Bit sad that only 20 of us seem interested in voting though :frowning:

It is really isn’t it :frowning:

But still the votes look interesting :wink: finally I didn’t vote for the horses that I suggested, except one. But other people voted for my other suggestions.

Major afterthought but Yates probably should have been included here as he’s a son of Sadlers Wells.

Drat. I knew there was someone else.

Poll’s been reset.

Sorry, I don’t know why I didn’t pick up on it earlier :frowning:

But wasn’t Yeats in poll 1 on his own rights? I thought that this poll was for the group of 4 from poll 1 to see who went forward.

Round 1 for Famous Studs (3-5 will be chosen)
All American  2 (2.2%)
Bel Esprit  4 (4.5%)
Blame  5 (5.6%)
Candy Ride  6 (6.7%)
Canford Cliffs  2 (2.2%)
Deep Impact  5 (5.6%)
Dick Turpin  4 (4.5%)
Dubawi  4 (4.5%)
Get Stormy  4 (4.5%)
Ghostzapper  6 (6.7%)
Gio Ponti  4 (4.5%)
Johannesburg  5 (5.6%)
Kurofune  1 (1.1%)
Lope De Vega  0 (0%)
Lucarno  1 (1.1%)
Midnight Lute  4 (4.5%)
[color=red]New Approach OR Sixties Icon OR Frankel OR So You Think  12 (13.5%)
Ravens Pass  5 (5.6%)
Sea the Stars  5 (5.6%)
Street Sense  3 (3.4%)
[color=red]Yeats  7 (7.9%)  

He was, but he should belong to the group of Sadlers Wells close relatives :slight_smile:

Yes, he was listed individually, and shouldn’t have been. If you scratch him from the “passed round 1” list because he’s now in the Sadlers Wells group, the top candidates from round 1 are:

Some Sadlers Wells relative (see above)
Candy Ride
Deep Impact
Ghostzapper
Blame
Johannesburg
Ravens Pass
Sea the Stars

Those will move on to round 3 to pick the top 5 that get added to the game.

So will there be 5 new boys next year or up to 5?

5 I think. There are 12 now, and at least 2 will retire next year, so having 10-15 at a time sounds like a good amount.

Oh good - maybe Raven’s Pass will make it this year if there’s more being added :slight_smile:

Shanthi, who is retiring next year? I don’t follow the RL stallion news so I’m wondering…

As announced in the thread asking for suggestions, Holy Bull and Octagonal are retired IRL, so they’re going next year. Not sure if anyone else will retire before then, I’ll have to look again closer to January.
