What Percentage?

[geordie1234]

What percentage would you say it was the doo and what percentage would you say its the fancier that wins races

What percentage would you say it was the doo and what percentage would you say its the fancier that wins races

The best fancier in the world could not win with rubbish pigeons, so I would say a combination of both, good pigeons and a good fancier and still not guaranteed to win

[Tony C]

Sprint racing more fancier than pigeon..................... better still if your in a good location.

[THE FIFER]

50 - 50,

[Guest bigda]

i would say 60/ 40 in favor of the fancier, only on the

feeding and the health of the birds, as with out that

they wouldn't be anything more than streeters.

[Guest spin cycle]

old adage about dairy cows '1/3 bred, 2/3 fed'....similar i think in pigeons '1/3 pigeon, 2/3 fancier'

[sapper756]

60% fancier. 40% pigeon IMO

[ovy1255]

when did you last hear of a collie dog winning a race at the greyhound stadium-sprint or long.

100% the bird well 95% hells bells when you get a goodun all you have to do is look after him and with all the info available unless your an idiot you cant fail .

[ovy1255]

still lookin for a goodin.

[andy]

Start with the loft, then the distance you want to race, then the pigeon, then the fancier, no maths involved!!

the fancier health of doo the doo and then secret in feeding

[tommyc]

secret in feeding does that mean all the winners fed the same thing

the fancier health of doo the doo and then secret in feeding

[alex young]

secret in feeding does that mean all the winners fed the same thing

If there is a secret in feeding I think it's the ability to feed correctly whatever you feed.( Just my opinion).

[demolition man]

Good loft, good birds 60% , 40% fancier

i think it must be higher in favour of the fancier more like 65 as lets face it im no going to win anything next year but i have been given some right good stock lol

[david]

I am surprised some of you flyers do not mention position more often on the thread.

 

I think some flyers think it is taboo to talk of position as it takes merit away from the fancier...Up to middle distance i know this plays a key roll.

[Guest joshdonlan]

the shorter the distance, the more its down to the fancier, the longer the distance the more its down to the pigeon

[BLACK W F]

shorter distance position birds fanceir longer distance 50% each

flyin short distance the guys hard on the coast will dominate unless east in the wind

Hit it on the head David. If you're in a good loft position, you could win with below average pigeons and it's been proved over the years. Now if your'e in a bad spot and win out of turn, then you have good pigeons managed by an excellent fancier and I know which of the two I would sooner buy from.

[geordie1234]

HOW CAN YOU TELL IF YOUR IN A GOOD LOFT POSITION AS I WIDNAE KNOW LOL
