what other options do you have ?? if you wish to keep them as pets ,leave them at home . if not train them a little more and send them , personally i would expect to lose a few but hey . let us know what you decide . and all the very best .    andy.

Make sure you make a note of which bird had what ring on.

Well will if they want to and that's for certain. Gosh youngster ahve wtook the first 4 and 7 out of the top ten having their first toss and race at 238 miles. Alan Bland was his name. Another school boy sent his 3 y/o 400 miles first toss in a National and won that.

I used to, because I had no money granted - send mine youngsters straight into 140 mile race at Northallerton. Was loft fit and honmed with the leaders. Sent two years on trot youngster 30 West Monday, 38 miles South Tuesday 45 North on the wednesday and and 70 miles east coast Thursday and 140 miler first race.... would have took the first 22 places in club, and drop the other of 23, same next year ....

 

Mind :-/ :-/  I trained them slow and careful last year, they went to Nottingham 3 times, 3 days rest, Sent 16 to their first race 140 miles ... never saw a feather( Mind was a bad race, but others made it!. 5 had worked back by the mid of October. So dammed if you do, and dammed if you don't. So as we don't have the faintest how they home, can't see Land Marks, etc. etc. if they can't do 97 miles first race, admitted a mite behind, then you have lost nowt really. They just weren't happy and buggered off.

Good luck and send them... well I would.
