Training flight went well today... returns almost 96%

 

so far so good... :emoticon-0157-sun:

Hi Wuldon, bad news for the Doolanders, the two birds that are shown in the training are all we have left from six sent. The team are amazed at this as I would say that the fanciers involved are as good as you`ll get. John Bosworth, Jim Smith, J.&j.Hood and George Hunter. As for myself, I sent two and one remains. I don`t consider to be in the same class as my above partners, but thought I had some decent doo`s. My survivor "Rapier" is from stock pair that bred 2 y/b`s only last year and both won in Club & Fed and flew to 290 miles. The same birds won the first 9 races in the club this year (3 in first 4 each race.In 2011 from 33 y/b`s raced to Open & Combine, 27 left. In 2010 from 32 raced the same with 26 left. So we now have only 2 to cheer on for Scotland plus you and J Ross. :cry-blow: :cry-blow: :cry-blow: :cry-blow:

PS Best of luck to the rest of the doo`s and their owners in the coming Training/Races. Allan ^_^ ^_^ ^_^

Hi Allan... ye noticed 'Doolanders' only had 2 left, what a stroke of bad luck there! :(

 

i sent 11 myself with one 'awol' before training started... its a tough OLR and tbh i reckon you need more luck than good judgement :emoticon-0138-thinking:

 

in saying that i have attempted to 'box clever' this year by sending 5 young birds that are bred from two hens that placed 26th and 29th in the 2012 final, the wee blue hen i activated 'FLECHA' and a purchase which was another blue hen 'ASHLEY'... whether sending the climatised blood back with a fresh cross works or not remains to be seen, but its a bit like racing at home.. i will try anything to try n win a prize! lol... :emoticon-0167-beer:

 

good luck with the remainder of the training, lets hope we all have something for the final this year!
