[Wiley]

its supposed to be ur right Geraint but that east is blowing quiet strong do you reckon it will turn??

Rick quite often the first race some of my yearlings get is nearly 200 miles over the channel in may, more than often this is their first race of their lives as I don't race my channel youngsters. The training they get is regularly from the coast about 40 miles then in. They don't know whether it is 2 miles or 200 miles just make sure they are fit when you send them.

i wouldnt hesitate in sending yearlings to their first race being 200 miles,,,,providing it was in the month of may and the forecast was good, and the air being warm, but wouldnt even think about it at this time of year ,, a lot of yearlings are lost in early april in just training flights

Have to say Darren sounds right, and I'd have a go with mine. The question is have they done eneough work and how well do they fly round home. Your call. Best o'luck Pete............
