Heres the big question.

You come home from the club on a saturday night, to find you have won the lottery, hooray we scream.

After buying your new big house and getting your 100 foot plus new loft erected you have the dilemma of where do you go to purchase birds to fill it, its your choice, money is no object.

 

Where would you go and why?

Everywhere, all over Europe and buy any bird that caught my eye and then make my own strain  ;D

Depends on what distance you want to compete in . Certainly wouldn't go to a big stud , although they will produce some winners from time to time  they are always going to be a bit limited . Would prefer to go to an exceptionally successful fancier that has been competing for years at the distance you have chosen  and buy him out lock stock and barrel , that is provided that money is not a problem . will get them in a few weeks \i suppose when the lottery comes up.   ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Wakey Wakey Davy boy

buy the best in the uk, but only birds flying into the kind of area you fly into and at the distance you want to fly.

When you've done that employ the breeder as your loft manager to get the best out of his birds!!

the best looking doos i have seen for the purpise of long distance races must be RAYMOND MOLEVELD jan arden bass pigeons and your right you would need to win the lottery to buy them ;) ;) ;)

Based on what I have seen so far, I don't believe loads of money buys success with pigeons. There is no one that I know of that has spent 'money no object' on birds and afterwards been constantly 1st in every race they have entered, at their chosen distance. If I was spending 'money no object' on pigeons, then that is the level of success I would expect from my spending. And that success in itself would bring problems, from the green-eyed brigade, because their first statement would be 'aye it's OK for him with his money & set-up, and the second one [probably] 'aye he's up to something'.

if money was no object id pack racing in all together.

i would buy jock donaldson wife and doos and leve the big man in the house  ;D ;D ;D ;D

What then Jas? You would'nt be allowed to fly them. I think Marsarella did that very thing and found that no-one would fly against him.

If you bought a really big team perhaps you could arrange your own races and take bets on the winners. One Loft Races every week?

Could work!
