dms5686 Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 sad to see a lot of the big shows falling but it is for the best as the ordinary racing fancier will get a better idea of the quality of there stock competing at local shows as the racing classes at big shows are flooded with pigeons with show blood in them and very few racing fanciers compete at major shows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last whitburn show was cleaned up with D Mathieson and son (yourselfs), And have also had a good racing season again this year. Also R Walker and Daughter where very succesfull at this show. More top racing fanciers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More top racing fanciers? thanks for the compliment brian ijust think we get a better opinion of our pigeons when we are competing at local shows against good racing fanciers and some fanciers showing at big shows have admitted to me that there is show pigeons in the pigeons that they show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I am meaning as its down to judge to split whats racer and whats not. I believe Whitburn was always the best show as the judges where top class and knew what was needed to win. Just dont like the idea that shows are going to start dissapearing as this one was always well supported and now gone so god help the ones that scrape past each year. And the way SNFC and SNRPC got returns for the nationals be intresting to see if the usual suspects have 5-6 in 300-500 mile classes as if they do then they must have got the best returns in Scotland to have sent a team and got returns! I myself got 2/10 marlborough and 0/1 Eastbourne. Defo nothing for show pens tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dms5686 Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 a judge shouldnt have to sort them out these people that show racing pigeons with show blood in them are just trying to make a fool of top nat fliers asked to judge and also a extremly beautiful racing pigeon can be condemmed for having show blood in it if a judge trys to sort them out when in actual fact it should have been the winner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
