If they from  the old breeds you should get them out of lot further than that

 

should nt even be going to it

sammy you said he shouldnt be going to, it he was 12th not bad out of 277 birds

 

if its bred for the distance then what you trying to win a tuppeny race way a good distance bird for should be kept to do what it was bred for flying long races  ;D ;D ;D

most of these pigeons oiginated from the late  johny  kirkpatrick, a lot of these pigeons were grizzles , they were famed for the distance allthough have won shorter races too, if im not mistaken the near white pigeon ,,,,",virgo" a young bird national winner was of these lines [ raced by the fountainhead stud]
