Rooster J. Cogburn Posted June 15, 2012 Author Report Posted June 15, 2012 i'm a believer lewis that if they are in the right company and get over the channel then it's a major bonus,the bird i'm sending's sire was my doo i got in reims in 2010 he's a 2yr old first timer and he's been raced out to wakefield this year,he was going to newbury but the weather and the birds body weight with being on roundabout all season put me off sending(gladly)thinking of sending him with another fed tommorrow to a shorter distance for his final prep race but not set in stone,would be interesting to find out the furthest other fanciers have sent their birds before going to the gold cup race or any channel race for that matter On another note you'll maybe agree now wi the member who couldnae get a seconder at the AGM when proposing Peterborough be flown on the 9th and Witton Castle be flown on the 16th?

yeboah Posted June 15, 2012 Report Posted June 15, 2012 Equipoise, my Ypres section winner, is sitting bang on for Alencon but still has the come back race from Appleby to get passed before the main event. All going well in that, she will go with all the confidence in the world that i will time her. Got 1 or 2 others that were going but after recent losses in the Fed of my older birds she might end up as a single entry but i done that before in 2001 from Hastings and took 3rd Section with a Chequer hen so onwards and upwards for a good end to what has been a terrible racing season all round. ATB to everyone sending and here's hoping for a good race with good returns for all. Cheers John.Don't worry about appleby John sure she will give her best at the gold cup,not sure what the entry will be but one things for sure there will not be many section winners in the baskets ,Good Luck .
