drummondp842 Posted June 24, 2019 Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 Well that's the last of the prep so who's confident? Who's wanting a surprise? How many? Looking at 2 from 4 I think here. Not been in past form but you've got to be in it to win it. I have been training 3 hens for weeks for this race, gave them their last toss took them 60 miles with my latebreds 12 in total. Got my first one 3 hrs later and ended with on 6 on the night. Got another 3 next morning with no tail and half a wing. 3 sytill missing two of them my fancy for the Gold Cup, gutted......

Delboy Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 Ive had a nightmare tonight, sent 7 to Gold cup and when I got home I saw my printout only had 6 on it lol. Panic stations but all sorted now, just have to set another clock as one of my birds wasn't registered in the ets but was rubbered. Got home and let my birds out at 8.30pm, they are still flying at 11.30pm in complete darkness, A bunch of bats going around here lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or would it be because he’d read the rubber side of the verification it could’ve been missed that not on ETS screen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumbo Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 Surely the bird had to be scanned then ring no read out to see if the ring numbers matched?????Then you must have signed a copy of your sheet??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
