Congratulation's Gareth and well done you must be well in font for the Combine Averages in the Fed along with Mick McCormack .What's your velocity going into the last race.
Congratulations Wull on another fine win and it will Probably Top the Fed.4th Sect 9th Open Last week and the story behind what happened this week is hard to believe. After last weeks win she gets out on the Sunday only to be scattered with her loft mate and returns 9hrs later totally flown out.Tossed Tuesday then banged again 8 hrs on the wing.Wed out in the bath then scattered again returns after 8hrs. Left to its own devices for the rest of the week and comes out and hopefully tops the Fed. This Wee Doo knows how to out run the Bop.Now Named Smarties Rocket
From the grapevine this morning Lanarkshire Fed are down under the 50% and with the final race next week we will be going with a Shooting Brake.Wullie Smart looks like Topping the Fed
The prevailing West wind(Gusting between24/30mph) killed off the race. In future we should have something in place for youngsters ANYTHING ABOVE 10 mph Due West for youngsters should be held -over.
In young bird racing there are a lot a pigeons not bred or healthy enough to compete.(98%) rule always kicks in and avoid buying/ breeding from aged stock birds.
With the Pigeons Liberated what Vel:- and times and do you expect today.4 Hrs vel:- 1153 39mph/4hrs.15 vel:- 1080 37mph 4.30 vel:-1025 34 mph or do you think they will be under the 1000yds.
Over cast here in Lanarkshire looks like another tough day for our youngsters flying from Charnock.High Clouds are battering through here North West turning to Due West. It,s Goony be a sare yin but it eradicates the 98% cuts doon the feeding bill.
It was the majority!!! vote !!! sadly common sense didn't prevail. We should have started a week later to give fanciers time to train youngsters (3wk break from the Old Bird Racing)then 7 Races 2 Otterburns/2 Stainmores/Ingleton/(Comeback Otterburn for the late breeds and pigeons injured) then Middleton for the Final Open race of the season.Anyie there is always Next Year.
