Favourite race result

[robbiedoo.]

even though i,ve won it 3 times in the last 5 year winning hastings 483 mile in 2005 with a yearling timed it at 00.07 midnight ETS .my first win the the old birds i,ll never forget it .

The most pleasing race results for me are the ones where I’ve identified a squeaker in the nest that I believe has a little something about it and goes on to prove itself. Priceless.

[DUBLINFLYER]

it would have to be taking the top 10 in the club this year but winning it with our nomer was the icing on the cake, also winning the open out of sennoncove in 2002, over the moon with those two results

[Guest frank dooman]

another pleasing result was hearing about my big mate stewart mullan (hotrod) winning riems in the far west of scotland  that gave allot of hope to many fanciers well done bigman

What's your most pleasing race result, mine would probably be winning the Fed. by 48yds/min from Berwick, 338mls to me then living near Southampton, with a Busschaert hen

 

the most pleasing result for me was the" old meally" as a 2 year old , he was 6th open east of scot continental club,,[big birdages] this was his first time sent over 500 miles, after    winning dorchestor 365 miles , as a yearling, my father , god rest his soul, ranted on all that winter that he would score at over 500 miles , his dream was for that meally to score at the distance, sadly my father died in the month of march that year, many years ago now,, but in june of the same year , for my fathers sake i sent this bird,, i think i almost willed this bird to score,,,,,,, to see this bird drop in this  very hard race is a sight i will never forget, i felt my father willing this bird home,, ive had better results since, but none ever so pleasing, for the sake of my father,, the old meally went on to score 9 times up to 9 years old from 500- to over 600  miles,, it was always" my fathers bird",,,,,both bird and father, never to be forgotten
