first toss yearlings how far

[Guest vander mungo]

due to our y.b race progam of races of 30,40,50,and60mls my birds fell apart in moult,before they could go any further.

as they have averaged only 60 mls,how far would you take yearlings for first toss

[PATTY BHOY]

15MILE THEN WORK UP.

[adam owen]

give them a 5mile toss if they cum ok go to 12 miles and stick to this point

[Guest JonesyBhoy]

dont train them till there's plenty of sun on their back...

 

if there working well at home.. couple of 15/20 milers they'll be good to go...

 

avoid cold days and east winds early doors... remember your trying to build them up..

[adam owen]

good advice above comment

[Guest vander mungo]

would that 12 mile be used as a breaking point from the leading batch and should be picked as to where your birds should brake from,our club has no bounderies, i give 9,mls to some members is this your reasoning

[adam owen]

yes mate plenty of tosses at the breaking point is good u can also double up ect this is good u can make them think 4 them selfs and build confidance into them as well

correct dont mess about with all this 5mls stuff if they are right they will be covering that allready couple of 15/20mls then they will go anywhere

[Guest JonesyBhoy]

weather and wind will mostly dictate which route the birds come on... theres really no way of knowing where the birds will be breaking...

 

concern yourself more with... health, fitness and motivation.. thats what will have them breaking earlier..

[Guest youngboy]

well since i started i always startin training at 8 mile but this year with me old bird teaM! ill be sttartin at 15 mile!!

[blaz]

10 mile 10 mile 17 mile 17 mile 20 mile that is what i will be doing with mine 1st week rain or shine but not with a cold east wind . their will also be experienced birds with them.

[showman]

2o miles

[Guest Paulo]

12 mile until they start to beat you back then 25 mile for a bit then drop then back down to 12 milers once the first few races are over
