For the more experienced birds it will be appleby first race 3rd may 95 miles,most of the yearlings will start this sat at lowther castle 89 miles althought i would have rather started them at appleby as well. last race before channel races up to 560 miles will be cheltenham.

At what distance would you put your 500milers into the racing basket before a 500mile race
Depending on the weather on the day, 6 to 8 hrs etc & that = a 250 to 350 miles race & then 3 to 4 weeks rest, then into the 500 mile race, & if they are any good ??????? they should be knocking on the door or there abouts, in my view. Enjoy.

Yeah want look at them having about 8hr fly then leave them maybe bit of training the week before thats where knowing your birds and what they need comes into it
was thinking of sending channel birds 105 miles then miss a week send to about 180 miss 2 weeks then send to maidstone then over to falaise do you think it will work will also try same thing with the Ypres race aswell

when is maidstone in relation to falaise and ypres and how far is maidston to you
Bit further than i would have gone if it is only 2 weeks before I think they really need a race about 2 weeks before but it is one time that you really want a decent race last thing you need is a bad race getting the right distance wise race those couple of weeks before isnt always the easiest of things to find you just got hope it works out a nice steady race for them
