Guest milkyal Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 If the race is void, which i think it should be, is there anything in the rules stating what happens to the prize money? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest strapper Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 as i stated yesterday race should be cancelled get as many birds back as poss and race another day,but lessen the distance 30-50 mls. maybe from a registered lib site. then all will be fair. now any birds in now will have the thought...did they fly it or?. any birds in now will not be assumed a true winner by some, if it arrived yesterday then it would have, because nobody knows how it got there. so as i said race should be cancelled and raced again in a week or so. only my opinion.

I liberate my birds when I train in such conditions. All well and good when they are your own just up the road and not thousands of eyes watching but from experience over the years them sort of sky's spell danger for racing!

tomm1e Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 in my experience pigeons always struggle to find their bearings when cloud cover is 100%. they need breaks and chunks of blue to get them on their way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
