Your spot on m8, always been too many dipped birds in racing classes. You need the right judge to sort them out although, sometimes the quality of racer might be that bad that you have no choice to give a half n half a ticket. ( this should be a minor card )

the likeliest y/hen to race class was full of them and they got tickets,(what)

It is all down to the judges, I think it is their responsibility to weed out these half show birds. Many judges lose credibility if they get caught out with these pigeons JMO

Some were showracers and not half and halfs,

This is one of the problems why racing men are not participating in these shows and the shows over all numbers are decreasing, perhaps each show should have a expert that goes round and eliminates these half show pigeons from the racing classes before the judge gets a chance to judge them, all too easy for judges to take the easy option and pick these pigeons that should not be in these classes.

 

Worked as a committee member of the Larkhall Pioneer show which averaged between 700 and 1000 birds and 60% of the top racing men in Scotland would put up to the top table a pigeon that had some degree of show pigeon in their blood.

Well Im in the other 40% Gareth. Sometimes it is very hard to tell and you can only summise some people are dabbling with show pigeons, in these cases you can get caught out but on the whole, a decent pigeon man will know the difference.

Seen plenty of dipped pigeons in the racing classes at the show on saturday and to be honest any time i have been judging i just walk right past them and dont give them a 2nd look never have never will but OMO

[WulDon]

bin the likeliest classes then? flown classes only? okay some will race the crosses also and then there entitlement to these classes will be valid.... create classes to entice show doo's only?

 

these lads keep there birds all year like we do... difference being we have 20 plus races to compete from, lucky if there are six major shows in scotland now, so dont knock them not there fault who decides the classes, lets face it without there support there wouldnt be any shows in scotland... jmo.

our club didn't advertise the club shows in the bhw this year cos the last 2/3 years we were getting polluted with show racers and good doo men were giving them tickets.these lads only come too these shows to pick up tickets cos if a doo gets a certain amount of tickets with big classes it can be entered into more advanced classes at blackpool and the like and we had a wee nomination pool going and they killed that aswell
