The idea is to have a Sire ranking of the top 20 \u201chot\u201d sires. If interest takes I will look forward to updating the list in the future. You can vote for your top five favorite sires by simply catching me in the chat room sometime Monday-Friday. It is important to note that the list is not in order of how good each sire is, but rather is based on popularity, and statistical data from this year\u2019s runners.  Some excellent sires missed the cut that probably deserve to be ranked in the top 20. One thing certain is all of these sires ranked are of the highest quality. <\/p>\n<p>Super Sire BTB Poll<br \/>1.\tA.P.
