Our first race today but I'm not so nervous about that as I am about the West Ham match this afternoon Wiley.

I sent 18 cocks looking well but 15 of them are yearlings and everyone knows what can happen to them.  Wer'e at Littlehampton 88mls to me.  Weather seems right, hope the birds are.

Good luck all.

I am like a kid with a new toy, when racing commences. So breathtaking! i still get the same buzz from the early races that I did over 50 years ago from the kick off. I started midweek and finished 4th, from over 300 birds.Good maybe for some, Yes! I am one of the some!  and  I am pleased that my birds are up with the best. regards, Vic. ;)
