Kevin,sorry if I upset you but the only info I had about the race was the race sheet.When I saw the velo's it looked what I would call a steady race,when one lad has 3 birds in a few seconds of each other the idea of a smash doesn't come to mind.I have lost plenty of pigeons over the years and know the feeling all to well,hope all the lads birds work their way back.atb. John McNabb.
