Rebus Posted September 8, 2011 Report Posted September 8, 2011 we were 2nd west section 31st open Sartilly 1 1996 with a full brother of su94sl 4257.
Rooster J. Cogburn Posted September 9, 2011 Report Posted September 9, 2011 Good reading once more Rab Hamilton 1st Section D.He was phenomenal at his peak-think he is the furthest West Fancier to have won the East section averages. Davy Rose is another name that pops up-ma dad bought a bird of his at Musselburgh one year-great pigeon to him Notice Mick McGoff in there as well.The first pigeon that ever won a race for me was one from him-it was a blue hen-think it was Towlaw 2001,still got the ticket The only pigeon we've ever timed on the night from the gold Cup was from him as well
