I think the south section guys will have a program in for the west Side Will it pass would not think so but you never know For me I would like a 550ml gold cup Race and 600ml Race for longest race. And a coast race for yearlingsLike testing my pigeons would like to do away with the y/b/national Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delboy Posted October 18, 2020 Report Share Posted October 18, 2020 Maidstone yearling National , Ypres yearling National , 520 mile race on same line, 550 mile race on same line ( Gold cup) 600 plus mile race on the same line ( longest race ) Stepping out in distance with each race like any other programme. YB Nationals 300 and 400 miles. We must keep testing the birds imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dal2 Posted October 18, 2020 Report Share Posted October 18, 2020 Good races and returns from Ypres....could that be distance over line?I admire the commitment to have long distance racing but we should look at the racing we are having and adjust accordingly surely?

dkj Posted October 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2020 550ml/ 600ml racing is the fairest racing, because very few pigeons make it on the day or early next morning .so no matter were you stay You have a good chance of getting a good one well in . Or even a hard 500ml race In the shorter nationals the pigeons are not split up as much and loft location is so important 1st drop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delboy Posted October 18, 2020 Report Share Posted October 18, 2020 Heres a radical one for you, the Gold cup should be the longest race. It should be at least 600 miles to the central belt and liberation should be no earlier than 1pm. This gives EVERYONE a chance of winning the big yin.

dal2 Posted October 21, 2020 Report Share Posted October 21, 2020 RIGHT on line for the solwayThought Rennes and Nantes were on the RIGHT line for the solway? Surely the middle would be a compromise? After all we have surely now confirmed that you get sh** racing from the East tae? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
