Just Back From Jim

[eastcoaster]

It's good to read about how doos are prepared for the target races and even better to read about when it comes off,

I have been racing in the Lanarkshire area for 5years and have learned more in that time from mistakes and disappointment than all the other years racing with my brother in East Lothian ,(he was the brains) .

Like you Walter I have sent very good pigeons to 500 mls never to see a feather but soldier on I did also like Steven says I planned out which birds were going to which nat,s only to go down a few weeks before the race .

A.blue cock called young Leb changed all that ! Trained hard for Eastbourne came fresh as paint so left him on open hole and let him do as he wanted sent him to clermont and just knew he would not let me down and timed him on the worst weather I ever seen ,

He may only have been 4th sect 104th open but when I collected the clermont trophy at Airdrie &District presentation last night that pigeon has changed the way I view my birds as not just pigeons but true athletes that should never be underestimated .

My job has just started but now have something to work with .

All the best of luck to Walter and everyone who has the same dream Gold Cup winner.

Ps my second pigeon was sitting on the trap at 5.15 next morning 2/2 500 mls that will do for me .
