robbiedoo. Posted January 14, 2011 Report Posted January 14, 2011 DOO you honestly think if he stayed in the west sect it would have won they open positions?>?? does anyone know how much times the national has been won in the west
Guest stb- Posted January 14, 2011 Report Posted January 14, 2011 does anyone know how much times the national has been won in the west NO A LOT PROB IF YOU TOOK ALL THE RACES OVER 40 YEAR LESS THAN 2 % IS BUDGIES 98 % RITE
Guest bigda Posted January 14, 2011 Report Posted January 14, 2011 John the point i am trying to make is he was timing them on the shift with perhaps only thirty to forty birds being timed on the day ,from a convoy in those days of approx 7500 at the gold cup now that is a helluva doos behind you ,when derrick nordon was 1st and second open with anniversary girl and danny boy i think when i spoke to derrick that marking night he had approx seven away but everyone had a top ten open position from the gold cup CREAM COMES TO THE TOP no matter where you send them no matter about the direction the best will be at the front and the other 90 plus percent will be also rans as you say the cream ill come to the top, so you have no problem with a easterly race then

yeboah Posted January 14, 2011 Report Posted January 14, 2011 Good points of interest there chris ,example Leige annan 475 moffat505 hamilton 532 edinburgh514Would that not prove that if the west birds were racing up the east as they are being trained each week to do so they would break across before the edinburgh area that does not give them enough mileage to compete surely they have to come on line with ours annan moffat and over the top of the hill behind me and thats them home cut out the dogleg ,mind you if i were to get a good one edinburgh no going to beat me at nine miles overfly Leige Leige Leige
