i would keep them at the 21 miles comming well, you only need a problem at the 50 mile and you could be getting them back all week so close to your first race.

my first race is 90 mile.

[Guest IB]

I'd go to 30/35 miles as next stage. I think at this time of year, 15/20 miles is big enough jump.

[bazzio73]

thanks all. this is my first ever season so im very keen.

[Guest nikkimass35]

Glad they are coming well for you, My advice would be dont push them to far to soon. Its a long season. Maybe increase there training another 5 to 10 miles. Good luck and all the best

sound advice,but we were all keen to get racing when we first started,maybe you could try six at 50.mile and keep rest at 21 miles .at least you will have 10, well trained for next year,or you might have a comeback later on they could go to.if the six make the 50,mile toss then your at the first race.    best of luck

this is great advice especially so close to first race and being latebreeds too all about confidence with them, i feel the best thing with latebreed is use this first season as a learming curve,  try to treat them as babies cus this is what they really are big babies,

they will be great for next year if you dont ask to much of them this year,

with late breds i would give them as much training as possible and even train them with my youngbirds and then i would race them as two year olds as you lose less of them then as they are more steady if not im afraid next week you will be the same as bakes and if you really want to race them save them till may

[peterpau]

My late breds aint seen a basket yet. Don't push 'em any further till racing.

[bazzio73]

i took them 26 miles in the end and they all come well. thanks to everyone for all comments and advice.
