HOT SPOT - CAR RACE 1 to be flown this weekend... Gran Canaria Survival Race 100km

agree there mate, this OLR is the most transparent in the world and hence open to the heaviest of citisism... what makes me laugh its T*TS like 'Kirky' jump in at random and open there big gubs and lets there arses rattle, and havnt the faintest of ideas coz they don't following the detail to understand the structure of how this OLR operates... yip the losses are heavy, but what is different throughout the world with young bird racing these days, losses are on a mammoth scale all over when you weigh up the statistics at the end of the season its the same all over... so from your point of view pal every pigeon fancier in the world must abuse there pigeons!!! :emoticon-0136-giggle:

its not the case of only 60 miles! mature young birds are being asked to cross the atlantic ocean here after deciding which island to head for, if they get it wrong yip its a stiff one just like today... island racing should go well now that this hurdle is out the way, which we all knew was coming.. no different from any other year, the ultimate challenge in pigeon racing for all those that enter, let the real racing now commence...

Final SEA RACE 06 today... distance of 95km, which is right in the Gran Canaria harbour! good luck to everyone... LIBERATED 9.40am, pigeons flying in Gran Canaria

SEA RACE-5... expected lib time 9.20am, 90km... 56km Off Shore

SEA RACE 4 was another great flight for the 1520 young pigeons entered, leaders done it in great time again with the first batches piling in! it would appear that a squad of youngsters got it wrong though and possibly headed for the wrong island, many have corrected themselves this afternoon and hopefully some more tomorrow, returns at the moment are around 85%

this might make a bit of interesting reading, anyone who know's me well enough will know by now I like to have a wee'flutter' on ma doos no matter what race I enter, Derby Arona being no exception... Nominations started at SEA RACE-1, and some fanciers have been putting a couple euro's here n there on there entries for a bit of fun! I noticed that TEAM YELLOWBELLY, Ireland had a doo 'JOSEY' they fancied and have been nominating it 1,2,5,10 euro from the three SEA RACES to date, so always up for a wee bit of competition I picked out my TWA J's and nominated the same over the three races... would you believe that from liberations of 1721, 1618, 1544... that these two pigeons have hit the board together on the three occasions, amazing I thought! SEA RACE-1 TWA J's 1183rd 10.13.08.60 JOSEY 1184th 10.13.12.20 SEA RACE-2 JOSEY 642nd 9.53.49.40 TWA J's 698th 9.54.40.10 SEA RACE-3 JOSEY 685th 10.16.43.75 TWA J's 686th 10.16.43.76 I'm keeping my money on TWA J's... lol

it seems they are coming quite straight off the water, as most them seem to be coming from back of the loft... good sign

SEA RACE 03... MOVIE

SEA RACE-2 MOVIE footage and transparency unequalled!

that figure about right... it tough going out there, even on what seems easy days for the leaders there are casualties... weather a lot to do with it imo, once there dehydrated and empty there basically fooked!

Another great Sea Race today considering they were almost middle of the islands, and headed for Tenerife... returns 96%

SEA RACE 03... has been brought forward to today, 1544 entries with an expected lib time 9.10am, 90km! :emoticon-0157-sun:
