blackjack Posted October 1, 2006 Report Posted October 1, 2006 Try these two lancashire rose of Jimmy Warren and Clio of Des Coulter which won the British sect from San Sabastian by 22hrs and from memory was160th open international.
Roland Posted October 2, 2006 Author Report Posted October 2, 2006 Yes there are, and has been many tremedous results, that sadly have gone un heralded. Sadly often the best birds in the race hardly get a mention. Be great to see, or hear of any one that moved to a better location on purpose, AND THEN exceled.
pj1001 Posted October 2, 2006 Report Posted October 2, 2006 None of us really know what our birds have to encounter on their way home from any race. You could have the leading bird in a race and Mr or Mrs Percy could have it miles form home. So to win these types of derby amd national races the winner will have to be a healthy, fit, well bred and motivated pigeon to begin with. After that wind and weather conditions need to be in your favour and you will also need a certain amount of luck. To me though I true Champion is a pigeon that makes the top 50 positions several times independantly of what the wind and weather conditions are. These birds are few and far between but when a lot of us have one we don't appreciate it enough until we have to try and replace it. Thats when you really know how good a special bird was.
Roland Posted October 3, 2006 Author Report Posted October 3, 2006 Well with all do respect we ALL know, or should! exactly the task ahead, and / or the task they have just done! A ship if Now a Liner, a boat for instance HAS to take into account the wind and or current meaning it is set for a different cordinate thatn the one it will arrive at! Fact! When we flew to Toronto Canada we were told that DUE to the wind we would actually go up to and come down from Newfoundland. Yes way out and then into a wind more . So t is the SIDE wide that affects tremedously Boats ships Planes trains and double decker buses. Yet are we supposed to believe that a few ounces of bone feathers and muscles aren't affected.... Time some fell out of the bed and woke up. Yes unrealistically fanciers say 'Weer same for every one... they kid us not! Just watch the wild birds combatting the winds. Just watch how our birds change speeds when circlying from ast to nigh stop etc. So please don't try any one to insult my, our intelligence.
