[paddymac]

Best of luck Walter, hope you have a good race

[eastcoaster]

I agree most exiting race on calendar.

My race kind of ended at Worksop ,so will be a makeshift team that have only had one trainer since Worksop and got humped so mine are most likely not fit enough and over fed but I have been to B&Q and bought another couple of mirrors lol.

Best of luck Walter and all the entrants ,think it will be quick like last year .

Best of luck Watty, forecast for Friday looks very favourable for the West Region and Solway fanciers to win the ultimate prize in Scottish pigeon racing. Unfortunately I have nothing ready for it but wish all fanciers sending the very best of luck from what may well be the biggest Gold Cup entry in a generation going by reports I've had of the teams some fanciers are sending. Reading your post you certainly have done your best by your birds and your results in previous races are a clear indication you know how to condition them for these races. Nothing would please me more than verifying yer winner 🤞🤞🤞👣

[THE FIFER]

all the best

[gulkie]

Best of luck Walter you certainly put the work in

And I'm sure you will be rewarded ðŸ‘ðŸ‘ðŸ‘ðŸ‘

[bibendium]

I have nothing going tonight, however I feel there may be more birds going than I first anticipated, I help out at marking in Kilmarnock and have heard throught the grapevine of a few big teams going through the centre .hope the infi is right
