Yeah poor returns sadly. 4/10 for my loft. Lost 5 last week and 4 this week. Does not sound a lot but when you only have 25 young to start off with it is a big hit in 2 races
Just 3 weeks mate. 25 x 3 races is 75 birds. So if you had 100 it would take 4 weeks to race them all 100 miles. Not worst idea. Midlothian have 5 races before near 100 miles. Yes birds are raced every week but 5/6 races to reach 100 miles :-/
I got my young AB bird from Taylorsloft home today from yesterday.... 10/18.... I would say the 8 to come are the 8 of our best young birds!!! They have been well in rhe 4 races they've had, then bang all gone? I know our birds and the ones we never got have always beat the ones training and racing this year, Yet they are home and the best is lost. I think leaders have hit something and the later birds have got through. Would explain a little why they were 30-45 mins behind expected times. In fact our 4th pigeon had clay all up both legs so this bird has went down for water and still came back in front of 60% of convoy. We are pig sick as it is 8 cocks to come and they were due to be stopped for widowhood yearling next year
Midlothian went from there at 9.15 and we got a stinker from what I am hearing. We've got 7/18!!!!! All birds home are the ones that were novices. Birds that have had every race are not home????? Gutted does not come close today
Yeah cracking bird. Eamon Wright owns some nice ones to, Also as Vallance says Gaz Jennings has them. I have one in my loft. Nice big Cheq White flighter
Dont give many mate..As you hear nothing if win and slated if lost... I once gave one on pigeon chat the other year. Inch High. I was owner at the time and it won at 16-1.... 50% strike rate aint to bad. Any way its a bad wound so am not talking about it again :B :B
;D ;D
Jim will prob end up winning with a 66-1 shot to re coupe losses... Bet the horse 10-1, 9-1, 17-2, 8-1 and 15-2.... So not just my money lost of PB members. Owner is a millionaire and prob just got hit bad lol. Wonder is there are shares in Ladbrookes I can buy??
Missing the point mate. Its form does not mean anything, It was trying last year and won then its only been running to get a mark the last few times. Horse has ran a stinker!! Its life. These things happen. Cant win them all or I'd be a millionaire eh
