walterboswell59 Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 was always going to be a stiff race for you guys in a north west but was hoping your returns would be better would i be right in thinking the returns are not much better whats your own thoughts i can see some have had a decent race but thats always the case even on a real bad day im talking about how the majority faired Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy Burgess Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 was always going to be a stiff race for you guys in a north west but was hoping your returns would be better would i be right in thinking the returns are not much better whats your own thoughts i can see some have had a decent race but thats always the case even on a real bad day im talking about how the majority faired personally , just the same as last week ,returns and performance wise .in my opinion ,from speaking to club members i believe the majority would agree . however i would also add , that at this stage of the programme in the past , some losses have been huge when flown on a Saturday. so the race controllers should be congratulated on looking ahead for solutions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 Only got another 2 home, it seems nowadays if you dont get them in the first hour they're scattered 34/40.Another yin at 20:38 35/40 noo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastcoaster Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 Think the brother had 6 to come when I spoke to him earlier, but until this week he had only lost 2 racing so not bad really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest big slim Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 Got 19 from 29 in about 30 minutes then just like last 2 weeks they seemed to stop. They are still coming as now waiting on 3. Thats 5 races with Pentland fed and 5 lost. I think the way young bird racing is nowadays I will happily settle for that.
