rasbull Posted August 4, 2010 Author Report Posted August 4, 2010 Hiya John, all details of shareholders in the 6 syndicates are displayed on my website. Cheers
rasbull Posted August 4, 2010 Author Report Posted August 4, 2010 Training was from 30 miles today and it looks very much like the birds split into 2 groups with the bulk of the syndicate birds in the 2nd group! The positions of the syndicate birds today were 98th, 159th who were in the 1st group and 639th, 717th, 727th and 909th who were in the 2nd group.The 2nd Hotspot has been brought forward to tomorrow due to the weather. They are looking like they will be liberated at 8am although I will have to confirm the distance as there was talk of staying at 60 miles as the last race from there was a bit of a nightmare. Good luck to all syndicate members!
rasbull Posted August 5, 2010 Author Report Posted August 5, 2010 Just spoken with Russ and the birds are going today for the 2nd Hotspot which is going to be from 90 miles! The bird have been marked but Rasbull-lofts.co.uk are only showing up as 5 birds in the race. Shareholders in the 6th bird WHU10T 12950 please dont worry as this is our bird just a mistake when publishing on the website. So unless changed will come up as Europa Venturer in the result! But it is most definitely our bird! Good luck to all and C'mon the Rockets!
rasbull Posted August 5, 2010 Author Report Posted August 5, 2010 The 2nd Hotspot turned out to be a bit of a mixed bag for the syndicate birds. The plus points - all 6 are still in the hunt for the big one and all were clocked within 12 minutes of the winner. The other plus point was syndicate 6 bird who was 4th in the 1st hotspot was 33rd today and just 3 seconds behind the winner. The negatives were the 2 most consistent syndicate birds were off the pace today and come in the middle of the field. The actual positions of the 6 syndicate birds were:- 33rd, 296th, 318th, 566th, 681st and 851st! The next hotspot is planned for next Friday and will be from 120 miles.

rasbull Posted August 7, 2010 Author Report Posted August 7, 2010 Todays trainer from 40 miles all 6 syndicate birds clocked within 1 minute of the winner. The birds were 67th, 183rd, 253rd, 266th, 277th and 645th from the 944 that were clocked in. All 6 still in the races!!!
sapper756 Posted August 7, 2010 Report Posted August 7, 2010 Although I am not personally involved in this syndicate, I find this thread very interesting and I continue to follow the progress of the syndicate birds, well done rasbullhttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif
rasbull Posted August 7, 2010 Author Report Posted August 7, 2010 Syndicate 6 bird is sitting 2nd in the ACE bird standing after 2 hotspots and just 6 seconds behind the leader!
rasbull Posted August 8, 2010 Author Report Posted August 8, 2010 The birds were trained from 35 miles today and recorded 65th, 96th, 182nd, 287th, 432rd and 501st out of the 948 that were clocked in. Again all were within 1 minute of the winner!
rasbull Posted August 9, 2010 Author Report Posted August 9, 2010 The birds were trained from 35 miles again today and apart from 1 who timed 9 minutes after the winner (This is the pigeon sitting in 2nd Ace Bird position after 2 hotspots ) All others were within a minute of the winner. The positions were 87th, 201st, 292nd, 293rd, 398th and 924th out of the 940 birds recorded.They started the series with 1278 birds so assuming they have 975 left they have lost around 300 birds to date! So our chances are getting better by the minute guys!
fletch Posted August 9, 2010 Report Posted August 9, 2010 am really enjoying reading this everyday mate, may get a lot more intrest next year mate,
rasbull Posted August 9, 2010 Author Report Posted August 9, 2010 Cheers mate. Its a bit of fun and keeps people informed who are in the syndicate and anyone else who may be interested. I plan to do it again next year and the birds will be even better! I have quite a few who have reserved a space so all good! Keeping my fingers crossed for this years shareholders that the birds perform well in the big one should they make it!
rasbull Posted August 10, 2010 Author Report Posted August 10, 2010 The syndicate birds were trained today from 35 miles and judging by the times I feel they may have hit trouble on route! The birds were 88th, 260th, 374th, 465th, 496th and 840th out of the 935 that were timed in! They had better start pulling up their socks and knuckling down a bit I think!
rasbull Posted August 11, 2010 Author Report Posted August 11, 2010 The birds were trained from 35 miles again today and 5 of the 6 syndicate birds were recorded within 15 seconds of the winner! The other one was somewhat slacking and was 1 minute and 9 seconds behind!! Their positions were 122nd, 233rd, 258th, 289th 326th and 776th! The birds will be marked after training tomorrow ready for the 3rd Hotspot from 120 miles on Friday morning. The birds have been peppering the first 300 birds nearly all week and within a minute of the winner on each occasion. They are not without a chance in the 120 miler I feel and hopefully the distance will space a few out as the cream starts to rise to the top the further down the road they go. The important thing is all 6 are still in the loft. The birds being recorded is reducing every day (with today the lowest - 913 out of the 1278 that started) and after the 3rd Hotspot we should be in a better position to judge how they are doing.
sapper756 Posted August 11, 2010 Report Posted August 11, 2010 GOOD RASBULL, THEY ARE STILL IN THERE M8http://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif
Ian McKay Posted August 11, 2010 Report Posted August 11, 2010 Not to dificult to judge them they are going well they should keep it up Good Luck guys
rasbull Posted August 12, 2010 Author Report Posted August 12, 2010 Training today from 35 miles and only 5 of the 6 syndicate birds have timed! The missing bird is the pigeon sitting 2nd Ace Bird overall after the 1st 2 Hotspots! I have no idea if the bird was sent on the trainer or if it has returned late after the result was printed. The 3rd Hotspot is tomorrow so the birds will be marked for it later on tonight so will have to see if the bird appears on the Marked List for the race.The other 5 however, were once again all timed within a minute of the winner to record 131st, 256th, 297th, 392nd 463rd from the 916 birds that were timed in.
Ian McKay Posted August 12, 2010 Report Posted August 12, 2010 Rasbull Syndicate Good luck tomorrow Guys :D
sapper756 Posted August 12, 2010 Report Posted August 12, 2010 Rasbull Syndicate Good luck tomorrow Guys http://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gifhttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gifhttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif Good luckhttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif will wait to hear how the birds donehttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif
rasbull Posted August 12, 2010 Author Report Posted August 12, 2010 Panic over! All 6 syndicate birds have been marked for the 3rd Hotspot from 120 miles for tomorrow! 946 birds in total have been marked and will take to the starting line! Cheers guys for the support! C'mon the Rockets!
Ian McKay Posted August 12, 2010 Report Posted August 12, 2010 Hey Rasbull will you sleep tonight :D :D
rasbull Posted August 12, 2010 Author Report Posted August 12, 2010 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!
