Every season we hear the same. Any body and every body is then to blame bar them selves... for sending.

When will the fancier vote in for a later start to the season, and later season? Some time never it seems apparently.

We all know 'When the wind has East it is no good for man or beast.

We all know every year, sadly, fanciers are breeding more to counteract losses.... Plus can't breed any earlier.

We all know that a couple of weeks in September for the distance is proven better racing for y/b's.

We, here about, have prove July for the Lerwick race. Proven far better than the June 21st. Yet still they send because it is the longest day!

Need one go on? All frightened some else will steal a March.

Gosh how many great racing Indian summers are lost!

Yet come seasons end, at club and Fed meetings any and every excuse is put up ... bar the realities.

Real hot here today - had a short debate with myself regards a short training toss .... But they are in a really cool loft. Do I think sending them up the road in this heat WITH a - AS DAL12 says - in a drying out East wind. Does one believe that they will learn much from it? Do them any good?

I think they will be better off - personally having a fly about 7 tonight around the loft in a cooler climate personally...

Yep be the same excuses year after year... and nothing will change.!

there all as bad from now on joe had 9 hawke injured last time at newark and 11 hawked at leicester the following week 20 birds out the team in two weeks but hear we are trying to get into the race course this time at leicester as the lib site at the market is very closed in and the birds take a while to get out of it maybe that will help hope so wakefield was another stinker and wetherby was not great but where do you go the bassas are every where
