VIC MATE JUST FOR YOU MY PERFORMANCES RACING FROM SAINTES WITH THE NFC 14th, 20th, 39th, 40th, 44th, 46th, 95th, 100th open, i hope this clears up your wrong asumption i do not send further than nantes, now those performances are the only times i have entered, so that equals 8 open postions in the top 100 in 8 races, just one more little thing, 2004 i sent 8 birds to the nfc nantes race 8,000+ birds, i had 5 in the first 50 open postions, why do my results or performances worry or bother you, do this forum some good and give out only good and postive aspects that help others, not vibes that cause many to jump ship. Chris

I can tell you this no matter how good a breeding cock or hen is or how many winners they may have bred or how many thousands or hundreds of pounds they cost to purchase they still breed off spring that is totaly rubbish, infact i will say more bad ones are bred from them then good ones, they can have the very best of eye sign and be picked out many times by fanciers who know a good from bad eye, i know this from fact, more bad useless youngsters are bred then good ones, i have visited and purchased teams of 20 youngsters from the very best and i can honestly tell you if i can find 2-3 good ones i count myself very fortunate, we all breed more bad ones then we do good, i have purchased many birds with excellent eye sign, that have failed to produce or race, many winners,aces and champions are just sport pigeons, they are good at racing nothing else many are bred and sold from them but also fail, sport pigeons 100%, let the basket be your judge, there will always be exceptions, but facts are facts results give you the proof. Chris

I would like to thank the many fanciers for their kind words, it was never my intention to post results to show off or bragg, hopefully this will put an end to this crazy mans green eyed monster syndrome, stats in black & white, and as mike has said this is what Vic calls the ultimate test, this forum will benefit from good honest ideas,opinions and advice from those willing to share it with others, i have no axe to grind with you or anyone else, enjoy your pigeons leave the disrepecting of others where it belongs, it will do you alot more favors then harm. Chris

IF ONLY IT WERE SO EASY WE WOULD ALL HAVE ONLY LOFTS WITH CHAMPIONS IN THEM AND ALL THE EYE SIGN MEN WOULD BE THE TOP FLYERS WIN ALL THE NATIONALS,CLASSICS, BBC'S AND OPEN RACES THERE WOULD BE NOTHING FOR THOSE WHO KNEW NOTHING ABOUT EYE SIGN, WELL AS IT IS THE EXPERT EYE SIGN MEN ARE NOT THE CHAMPIONS OR KINGS OF THE BIG RACES, LET THEM STUDY THE EYES THATS THEIR CHOICE AND THEY ARE WELCOME TO THEIR OPINIONS, BUT I WILL TELL YOU THIS AND ITS 100% A TRUE BASED FACT NOT A GUESSING GAME OR AN ASSUMPTION, THERE IS NO MAN ALIVE NOR IS THERE ONE THAT HAS PASSED AWAY THAT CAN TELL YOU WHAT A PIGEON WILL WIN OR HOW MANY WINNERS IT WILL BREED JUST BY ITS EYE OR BY HANDLING ALONE, NO WAY ON THIS EARTH AND IF YOUR ONE OF THE GUYS WHO BELIEVE THAT THE EYE EXPERTS ARE ABLE TO DO SO MY ADVICE TO YOU IS WAKE UP AND WAKE UP QUICKLY BEFORE YOU FALL FURTHER DOWN THE LIST FOLLOWING FALSE CLAIMS, THE BEST FANCIERS ARE ALWAYS ON THE TOP OR NEAR THE TOP OF ANY RESULT YOU CAN SEE THIS BY THE RESULTS PUBLISHED WEEKLY, LET THE BASKET BE YOUR JUDGE WASTE NO TIME ON FALSE CLAIMS, HOW MANY OF TODAYS EYE SIGN EXPERTS ARE NATIONAL WINNERS IN THE LAST 5 YRS MAY MAKE IT EASIER, PURE BULL AND MORE BULL WAKEY WAKEY CHRIS

TO BE AN ACE AND CONTINUALY WIN AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF RACING WITHIN YOUR CHOSEN DISTANCE THAT IS NOT FLOWN INTO A CORRIDOR, MY OPINION IS YOU NEED BIRDS WITHOUT A SHADOW OF A DOUBT OF CLASS GOOD ENOUGH TO EXCELL ABOVE THE REST AND YOU MUST HAVE MASTERD THE ART OF FEEDING TO A FINE ART LEAVING NOTHING TO CHANCE, PROPER AND CORRECT FEEDING OF THE CORRECT AMOUNT AND GRAINS SUITED MAKE A VERY BIG DIFFERENCE AND THOSE WHO THINK OTHERWISE ONLY KID THEMSELVES, CORRIDOR FLYING YES THE RUBBISH COMES WITH THE GOOD ONES WHERE ELSE CAN THEY GO ALL RACING TO ONE AREA IN A SET BOUNDRY IF THEY CANT KEEP UP THEN THEY GOTTA BE NO GOOD, BUT TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION EVEN MORE CAN YOU PLEASE TELL ME WHAT DISTANCES DO YOU CALL SPRINT. MIDDLE AND LONG, WILL GO ALONG WAY TO HELPING ME SEE YOUR WAY OF THINKING. CHRIS
