Dreaming

[yeboah]

Well with the winter nearly over and spring in the air not long now to the racing season kicks of,having had all winter to think about the 2011 season what would members be satisfied with at the end of both old and young bird racing what are your goals

I on my part for the forthcoming old bird season hope to have learnt from a few mistakes i made last year trying roundabout for the first time have got some handy well-bred two and three year olds that i am looking to do well in the nationals with if i can get them to the starting post .

As for the young birds having raced on the darkness for the past few years will revert back to natural this year and only take one round from my stock birds if i can get these out to 100 plus miles will be well pleased to winter them ,I am doing this because i have a team of unraced well bred yearlings that i have decided to train really well also along with the youngsters and maybe get a few races out of them as triners during the young bird racing if basket space permits then would be in a strong position for the 2012 season ,That would be a successful season for myself look forward to reading your replies Good luck for 2011

I'm looking just to breed and train and go to as many yb races as possible this year but stop if losses are bad as i want to try and carry over as much as possible as this is my first year so looking to build for the future

we did well last season with our widow cocks so we have joined the national this year and hopfully clock in from some of them we are the furthest flying on the east coast. I think its section e. So it will be hard to compete but we ll have a go like they say if your not in you cana win it . did nt try out the hens till the come back races last year so we are going to try out round about and hope to get some hens across the water . the ybirds did nt fly as well as we hoped they were all on the darkness so this year we are going to have two teams one with 20 on the darkness and the rest ( about 30 ) on natural to see how they go . ROLL ON THE RACEING

Main aim this year is to enjoy the doos.

 

If we are setting targets though would like to get on a SNFC result from a channel race preferably on the night.

[Guest IB]

Well I hope it doesn't turn out to be shattered dreams.

 

I want to up my game by a guid couple of notches this year. I've 30 racers, all natural. Firstly I want to complete in both the full Fed & SNFC programmes. I'd like to do a lot better in Club & Fed results, but my main goals are still in Channel Racing - I want 2 birds on the result, the first within top 50 Open, and the second within top 100 Open.

 

I also want to have 2 birds in the Open result in both Inland Nationals and YB National. My performance in Inland Nationals has been very patchy, so any Section & Open results will dae for now.

My thinking behind this one is we take great care when pairing our doos and hope there is no fighting etc then we hope both eggs hatch and that the youngsters are fit and healthy ,we then watch over them when they first leave the loft then take great care in the training of them to give them the best chance in life so i feel having fed these birds all winter and seeing them mature into the specimens they now are and knowing the parentage just think it would be a waste of all my time and effort to give them a few tosses in unfavourable weather then have to rush them into the first race which may not be suitable weather wise then because of my location we would be at 100 plus miles ,so my plans are to let them get fully fit round the loft then when the weather is far more suitable for training give them as good an education as possible and school them along with the yb's if room becomes available send them with the youngsters to the first races or take them in my van and liberate them with the convoy ,can only try and see the results no it takes longer but prepared to give it a go ,convinced myself on this one but its everyone to there on jmo
