kept a few show racers many years ago,, managed to race them up to and over 100 miles,, to get them in the 100 mile class,,, ;D then the judge went for the racers ;D but they did look good , , i suppose every one to his own,, but i allways have a soft spot for them,, even just to look at lol
they actually reared many winners,, any eggs from some good w/hood hens , went under them,, so they were two fold lol, bred winners and gave me some enjoyment in the winter
