Daphneys Delight won 1st open Rennes 550 miles and was in training basket the following day to go 30 mile spin.Nash reckoned a toss after the long flights helped the pigeons get rid of build up of lactic acid???

 

The original warm-down maybe Derek? Don't know if I would have the nerve to give a national winner a toss though :o

yes the old osman blood marriens delbar and some barker git stuff :emoticon-0167-beer: :emoticon-0167-beer: there would have been a good bit of jock reid and ogilvie birds added to the mix .

 

James would go to lockerbie at 3am in the morning and throw the birds up on a roof in the dark , they would lift at first day light , he was a hard trainer and at abington and beatock regular , but the real hard work was tosses from .

his brother john was always at the birds , james was the trainer and front man john was more quiet and most didint even know him .

When John gave up and stopped taking part the results went doon hill .

I think I have said this before but a son of Daphnes delight was the sire of Jock Allans Mill Princess 1st west section 4th open Rennes on a very hard day, I am not sure but I think she was timed around 10.15 at night. She was a cracker of a pigeon very much like her mother Mill Queen I had the pleasure of handling them when they were in there hey day and I can honestly say they were the best pigeons I have ever handled and ive been around and seen and handled some top Barcelona pigeons in Europe but for me Jocks pigeons were a bit special like wee tennis balls.
