how far to race yearlings

[Guest vander mungo]

as i only have a team of yearlings how far should i race the cocks,and hens .i will be flying them on roundabout. any advice will be helpful

[lee duffy_]

race in all your inland club races straight through the year stop any that look like they had enough. any birds that have been comimg slow every week put them in the water races

[aye ready]

mine will all be going to the coast 370/400 mls and if everything goes ok some will be at ypres with the snfc i think that it's either 460 or 480 to me and they will be most of the season on roundabout

[Tony C]

As your looking to build a team for the future I would suggest you just send them to races where they only spend the one night in the basket.

[dwh]

I ALWAYS LIKE  SOME TO GO TO SHORTEST CHANNEL RACE N THE REST 300 MLS

[blaz]

i think around the 400 mile mark for yearlings.alot race them further but with bigger loses. you get them back as yearlings from the 400 mile mark .then you will have 1 or 2 good 2 year olds you can pop the question to the following year

[Guest frank dooman]

for someone building a team stop them this year at the 300ml mark untill you can afford to loose them they are only yearlings for a year they are old birds for the rest of there lifes
