Gold cup. 11th sec 44th open 31st sec. The long race. 3rd sec 20th open. Ypres 20th sec 185th open 47 th sec The races are between 450-600 miles John has sent 6 birds and scored with 5 of them which IMO is truly outstanding from a man who started the old bird season with 8 birds for racing,I have put this post up now as John will not be at the last race,JOHN HOUSTON 3 cracking nationals take a bow!!! :partick-thistle-Crest:
