Novice Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 I will have about 60. The better ones will not go past 100 miles. If I have a good team of old birds remaining the less well bred youngsters will go to the Federation final. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony C Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 36 y/birds. If all goes well they'll race the full program, furthest race 230 miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retired Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 Will have approx 65 young birds to race - the furthest they will go will depend more than anything on how they mature and develop over the next 6-8 weeks as many have just been weaned. The furthest race we have is Perth (weather permitting)which is approx 276 miles - So depending on there maturity and a few other factors i hope some can go there but the most vital thing is i need to produce a good team of yearlings from that team.
