Aye the worst tosses are the best tosses if that makes sense lol I started with 50 before training I had imo terrible training hit constantly one's and two's every toss by the time racing came I had 27 for racing after 3 races I think I dropped 2 or 3 I had relatively good racing taking two fed tickets and every week seemed to get them all within 30-40-50 mins

Do you have darkness youngsters Davy or Natural or if either or would you still go for full programme?

[bigjamie]

dava i did not get a yb race at all mate i had 3 tosses and lost 22

 

 

 

inall percy right into them twice dava then week before first yb race took ybs that was me snookered mate i could be in trouble racing them they will go down like stones mate but i cant keep them forever they will have to be put on the road

[dava]

this year was the first year i tried the darkness so the moult wasnt a problem but the couple of years previous my best yearlings were the ones that had plenty of racing as ybs but thats just my opinion many roads lead to rome in this game geo

That's good to hear Davy especially from a top fancier like yourself many ppl say ybs on natural can't do the programme as you say many roads lead to rome and something else to think about over the winter for myself
