hi in my short experience (4 years),  i have never had much luck with latebreds, (after july). probably because i have not trained them properly? im not sure, but think they need plenty of training in there year of birth, and need alot of time spending with them, i end up losing 90% of them by 2nd or 3rd race following year, may just be me, but saying that you might get a gem or 2 out of them, i have a 2007 latebred, that is my best bird by far, bred in late june, and he has won 4 times for me now, including first fed this year. 2 channel races and 2 inland from 85 miles to 390 miles! so if your patient with them, i suppose you may be o.k, good luck

Normally wouldnt entertain latebreds, but after a disastrous yb season last year and big losses at the NFC Saintes race, We decided to breed a team of latebreds (actually moved them during October), and had them out most days over the winter. Got them into training mid marcg, had a bad toss in late March in which we lost a number of the latebreds as well as some older experienced birds due to hawks (a couple came back ripped on their backs), had some reported in Dorset, Dorchester, High Wycombe, Crewe and Chester so basically every point of the compass.

 

The remainder have had every club race so far, actually had 3 of them drop with the winners on one occasion when we took 1st four positions in club (we had 10 of ours drop together from a full team "Emptied the shed" entry of 23 when approx 18 club members sent 367birds) and our last race 9th May we actually had 3 of the latebreds together (lost a bt of time on the trap) and got beat by approx 10ypm in a very tight race from almost 400birds finishing 11th, 12th, 13th club

 

So overall cannot complain, and will certainly be doing the same again this year.

 

We have actually got them paired up now and have them down on eggs now (approx 5days now) and actually sending 3 of the October babies to the NFC Fougeres race this weekend, approx 216mile to us

 

Watch this space????????
