Brutal race programme every year but the same fanciers and more keep sending. They send for 2 reasons only, test their birds with a chance of winning some money. The organisers cant be to blame, and i dont think they gain much with so many lost. The more they get from the final the more profitable it will be for them. expletive remove the last few years they didnt make much profit from the finishers As it has been said racing all over the world is gettin harder with hawks ...expletive remove 30 mile could wipe your ybs out in this country. so .*expletive removed* who is watchin and enjoy what you sign up for...jmo Mick
