have to disagree with you danny on sprinters winning a distance race ie the yb nat. alot of good sprinters mature very fast as yb,s where as your true distance yb,s mature alot slower.also the yb nat is fair bit away from a distance race with it only being 230 ish to last years winner and only 243 up to me. with that being the distance most class that as a sprint distance .as for one eyed jacks squawking .as far as i know up till now the one loft yb,s will be going to yb nat as their last hot spot race.then on with the unc for final race.so it looks like the one loft birds will be at yb nat .we guess at maybe 300 more or less.at 300 x £2 a skull that's £600. we can all squawk 300 birds to the 1 area the 1 loft will drag them over.load of crap if anybody thinks that as i find it hard to see what will the other 2000 plus birds be doing. with the yb nat being under 250 for a lot of us it won,t be the 1st time it has been won by a sprint bird fact.as for making yb nat your main goal not for me yb,s are yb,s for only a year .then it,s time to plan what your doing with them as yb,s are well educated if they race well enough from yb nat and for me education and learning in yb,s stands them in good stead for future life racing
