Comeback Race

[geordie1234]

I have 10 latebreds broke to my new lofts which were not raced as youngster they have had a few 10 mile tosses see if i give them a 25 miler this week would it be possible to send them to a 80 odd mile comeback race this friday they will just be going as trainers

[just ask me]

if its not going to be a tough race weather wise and there flying well around the loft they should be ok

cheers im of on wed and thurs so they will get 2 25 mile tosses and see what happens they are flying the best round the house i put it down to been on the natural system

[just ask me]

with birds being raced for there first time there always a risk but they have to go sometime i suppose

[geordie1234]

Well this is it JAM im no keeping them another year without them being anywhere

[seaforth]

i raced late breds from last year they were never in the basket until this year. i have had a great season with them took many tickets. 1 of them 3rd fed 15th sec 124th snfc marlbourgh. i just trained them hard. also got 1 the next day from eastbourne so i dont see a problem its all trial and error :scotland:

I think a race of that distance would be great experience for them.

 

I've not had any success at all with latebreds, none of which were trained as YBs, and 2011 has been the same.

 

I started with:-

 

5 x yearling latebreds, dropped 1 training & 1 racing, and stopped the other 3 after flying Witton Castle (110 miles). I've never stopped them before, but they'd done exactly the same as the other flown yearlings did as YBs, so trying something new.

 

4 x 2-yo latebreds, 3 trained only as yearlings, and 1 raced to 82 miles. They have been trained & raced this year, and I had dropped 3 by Eastbourne, 2 entered, 1 dropped, and 1 timed second morning at 6.21 - she's the bird raced to 82 miles as a yearling.

 

Hope this helps.

Good stuff

 

If the weathers not that great for yer toss and the 80 miler,no point throwing them away after this long,play it by ear.If they get a few tosses in before the young bird racing and in wi them to the races as trainers that'd be cracking experience for them

[Guest IB]

IMO the yearling latebred moult won't allow much training during YB racing .. remember that they will throw a new flight and a nest flight at the same time, leaving 2 gaps in each wing. Check too that your Fed allows Old cock trainers in the young cock race basket - ours doesn't because they might bully the YBs in the basket - Old hens only, and even then only for 1st x 3 YB races..

better to get them transferred into your name just in case they go missing and then the people you got them off will be het for getting them back but easy enough to transfer them as the shu office is in Wishaw so a wee run up with names addresses and the doos ring numbers and you are sorted after 14 days of them transferring them into your name you can win with them mate
