ALF Posted May 12, 2012 Report Posted May 12, 2012 32/34 missing a yearling and my Ypres National Winner :( To tell you the truth Andy i was shocked when you told me you were still racing him when i was through at yours last weekend mate but i do hope that he turns up for you as he is a champion
hotrod Posted May 12, 2012 Report Posted May 12, 2012 Was told your feds birds were reluctant to clear the racepoint. The West Essex fed were at Wetherby and were penciled in to go at 7:45 but due to birds hanging around the racepoint we held till 8:00.i was told our birds cleared well in 1 or 2 minutes ? this was from one of our convoyers
