Europa Share Syndicate

[Guest strapper]

Will sleep like a log mate! Never worry....if they are good enough they will be there or there abouts! If not there not worth losing sleep over!

 

 

hi rich m8..i think they came over here today..right over my house...about 400?...in one batch then a few big batches....thats if they were them.

[rasbull]

I know my club mate trained his from Hereford today, and only had 4/20 let his go round the time the Europa birds were in the area. They were liberated at Pontrilas at 9.10am and back in Newport by 9.47am so if around the 9.25am mark I would say yes definitely the Europa birds!

[rasbull]

The 3rd Hotspot was raced today with a reduced distance. Instead of the planned 120 miles they ended up 25 miles shorter at 95 miles. The reason for this I am not yet sure of, but will more than likely be due to the weather.

The birds recorded 124th, 145th, 197th, 207th, 593rd and 792nd out of the 946 birds that were sent. Our first birds was 22 seconds behind the winner, and our first 4 were timed within 2 minutes of the winner. Even our last bird was clocked within 9 minutes of the winner.

 

Looking at the results the birds have had so far it is very pleasing to see that the birds results for the majority of the syndicate birds are improving each Hotspot they are sent.

 

06601 - 1001st, 681st and now 207th

06607 - 710th, 851st and now 124th

06604 - 728th, 318th and now 197th

04668 - 753rd, 566th and now 145th

 

So very promising as the race distance increases. All 6 syndicate birds still in the loft after the 3rd Hotspot and what we need to remember is that these Hotspots are bonus races and they were entered in an attempt to win the big one! They appear to be getting themselves into better form as each week passes and that is a good thing!

[blaz]

your syndicate birds are improving well as the distance increases

BEST OF LUCK WITH THEM

[rasbull]

Training is going to be stepped up this week in an attempt to fully test the birds. They went from 70 miles today in the trainer and I think they are hoping to get a 120 mile toss into them sometime this week as well, on top of that they also have the Hotspot on Friday from 160 miles!! This is what you call testing them fully and that is why for me this One Loft race is second to none. Anything that is left standing has well and truly earned their perch!

The positions were the worst we have had for some time however with the syndicate birds (this after a good 3rd Hotspot for the bulk of our birds) but as long as they are still there for the big one, that's what counts. Our positions were 119th, 232nd, 646th, 714th, 732nd and 825th from the 887 that were timed in! All 6 birds were timed within 9 minutes of the winner so nothing in it really!! I am hoping our 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th bird had eaten too much from the 3rd Hotspot return and were uninterested in racing home and a little bit fat after their feast! :lol:

 

We will see what tomorrow brings...but for now at least we have 6 syndicate birds still live and kicking and our odds with loses are improving daily!

[rasbull]

Todays trainer was from 50 miles and all 6 syndicate birds timed within 2 minutes of the winner. Their positions were 221st, 233rd, 240th, 284th, 378th and 387th from the 900 that were timed in.

 

The 4th Hotspot is being flown tomorrow from at least 110 miles and hopefully 160 miles depending on the weather. I hope they manage to get to the 160 miles point as the birds really need to be stretched and spaced out in the result. They will inform tomorrow where the race is from once the weather has been checked in the morning.

 

Good luck to all syndicate members for tomorrows hotspot!

37th 54th and 65th today in the Hotspot race,a good team result Rasbul mate.

[rasbull]

Todays 4th Hotspot from 110 miles was a great success for the Syndicate birds with 3 being in the top 65 and all within 5 seconds of the winner! All 6 syndicate birds have returned to the loft and their positions are 37th, 54th, 65th, 175th, 521st and 646th from the 925 that were in the race.

 

The birds are improving with each Hotspot and below shows the improvement they are making as the distance increases!

 

06601 - 1001st, 681st, 207th and now today 54th!

06607 - 710st, 851st, 124th and now 37th

06604 - 728th, 318th, 197th and now 175th

04668 - 753rd, 566th, 145th and now 65th

 

So all looking great as we start to get to the real distance where the cream rises to the top and leave the also rans behind! I have every faith in the syndicate birds and believe they will not be letting any of our shareholders down come the final race!

WENT TO WATCH TODAY RAS THEY HAD A TESTING 110 MLS WIND SMACK ON THERE NOSES BUT CREDIT TO THE BIRDS THEY LOOKED FANTASTIC AND TRAPPED REALY WELL APART FROM THE ODD COUPLE WELDONE TO THE THE GUYS AT THE LOFT.SPEAKING TO DEREK HE SAID THE NEXT BIT OF DECENT WEATHER AND THERE GOING 160 MLS BE IT MON,TUES,WED THERE DEFFO GOING. WELDONE TODAY M8 THINGS ARE LOOKING GOOD AND ALSO WELDONE TO THE WINNER

[rasbull]

The Europa birds trained from 35 miles today and all clocked with 35 seconds of the winner. Their positions were 125th, 133rd, 137th, 319th, 332nd and 349th out of the 900 that timed in. I believe this weeks Hotspot is going to be from 160 miles and they will go on the first nice day. I am hoping for a big performance from the syndicate birds as they have been improving rapidly as the distance increases so far to date.

[fletch]

glad to here mate keep the good news coming

[rasbull]

The Europa birds were trained today from 100 miles and the result shows the field were well spaced out with the winning bird timed at 12.53 and the final one in the clock 837th at 15.32! The wind has been blowing a gale all day here in Brecon so the birds would have found the going tough on the journey back to Cardiff!

 

The positions of the share syndicate birds with their times is brackets are as follows:-

 

Winner was clocked 12.53

 

73rd (12.55), 179th (12.58), 237th (12.58), 308th (12.59) 612th (13.09), 641st (13.11)

 

So a tough training toss for the birds but this is why we sent them to be tested. All 6 syndicate birds remain in the loft and that can only be positive!

 

This weeks 5th Hotspot is due to be on Friday but may be sooner if weather permits! Watch this space!

[rasbull]

The 5th Hotspot will be flown tomorrow from 160 miles. There are 884 birds that have been race marked and all 6 syndicates birds will be in the race. Good Luck to all shareholders!

[fletch]

good luck mate keep us up to date

[rasbull]

The 5th Hotspot was flown today from 160 miles. 884 pigeons raced and by 3pm 818 had timed in. We had all 6 syndicate birds participating. The syndicate pigeons recorded the following:-

 

Winning pigeon arrived 9.51.35

 

96th (9.52.04), 224th (9.55.26), 320th (9.56.41), 584th (10.00.44), 599th (10.01.21)

 

As can be seen only 5 of the 6 syndicate birds have timed in, the one that is missing is a Europa Venturer that we activated after the 1st Hotspot.

 

Our 1st pigeon has now been our best pigeon in the last 3 hotspots and has recorded 124th (22 secs behind the winner), 37th (3 secs behind the winner) and now 96th (29 secs behind the winner) in the last 3 hotspot races! She is bred from 'Rasbull Trish' who herself was 24th Open 250 miles and 9th Ace Bird in 2009! So hopefully this little hen can go a few steps higher up the result sheet come the final race!

 

The other syndicate pigeons were all timed within 10 minutes of the winner. All 5 hopefully now have earned the right for a crack at the big one! So good luck to all shareholders!

[Tenny]

There will be a great race on the 12th september!

The Europa birds were trained today from 80 miles. Firstly syndicate 6 bird was not in the result so it looks like he has been lost. The syndicate birds recorded 42nd, 204th, 325th, 344th and 681st out of the 812 that timed in. Our first bird was 8 seconds behind the winner and our last bird was 11 minutes behind the winner.

[rasbull]

The Europa birds were trained today from 60 miles and the syndicate birds recorded 15th, 113th, 274th, 286th and 641st from the 816 that timed in. The first bird was just 3 seconds behind the winner and all 5 had timed within 10 minutes of the winner.

The Europa birds were trained again today and this time from 95 miles. The syndicate birds recorded positions of 116th, 156th, 225th, 328th and 682nd out of the 809 birds that timed in. They have had a tough week so far with training tosses from 80 miles, 60 miles and now today from 95 miles. They are planning on going from 60 miles tomorrow and then 120 miles on Friday! So certainly a tough week for these youngsters and to their credit they are standing up to the test so far! 4 of the 5 syndicate birds timed within 1 minute 12 seconds of the winner and the last one was about 9 minutes behind.
