Miss 1 yr young bird racing But train ybs only at ease no rush no presure Racing then becomes full season Old bird with selected yearling races Including a yearling national The yearling select races would allow recovery of older burds For the distances I also think apart from giving the youngsters a chance It would also help cut down dramatically the spread of yb sickness And other viruses spread through the basketing system /transporters yb stays ect Many yb illness is brought on by stress and at present the whole system Of racing yb is stress related Could make for an interesting program Yearling national sounds good to me But seems like most things in pigeon racing change is easier said than done
