PATTY BHOY Posted June 20, 2009 Report Posted June 20, 2009 Ist section D was to Frank Baillie of Clackmannan with a 2 year old Light Blue chequer hen flying some 350 miles, Frank’s pigeon taking around 8hrs 24 mins to cover the distance with a velocity of 1100.57. This was a hard working velocity from an 11.30 liberation and was always going to be a difficult day race when over part of the course birds would have to face rain showers and an east north east wind and more especially when racing to date has been mainly with southerlies. Frank must surely be delighted that he has won the Bronze medal in these trying conditions in fact by Saturday Frank had 10 out of 10, amazing when many fanciers are still looking for birds Since moving from Bo’ness in 2006 Frank is now seeing his efforts coming to fruition in his lofts performances and to the changes he has made to his house and I would congratulate Carol for keeping his nose to the grind stone, as the saying goes, behind every good man is a great woman?? This blue chequer hen handles well and has a very quiet temperament, its sire was what Frank calls the Royal cock this was purchased at the Forth Bridges first ever young bird sale in 2006 and was bred and presented for our sale by the Royal Lofts its ring number is ER 1 05. The dam is a full sister to Stuart Mullans Gold medal winner in 2008 Karen’s Girl 1st open Reims SNRPC without doubt this pigeon is certainly bred in the purple As a later bred young bird reared on the darkness system in 2007 she was timed from our young bird National at 265 miles. As a yearling she flew most races to Maidstone 376 miles during that year winning a number of club positions. This year this hen flew round about to Catterick 160 miles then was paired up. For Wantstead Flats she was given a 10 day old young bird on the Thursday afternoon before basketing and was carrying a full wing. I am sure that we will see Franks name appearing prominently in the coming distance races. 2nd Section D
