Feeding Time

I don't think Roland was saying that they don't need to be fit Ricky, hes saying they don't need road trained. Fitness can be gained around the loft.

I know del just having a bit of banterðŸ‘

How many stop training after the first race? I fancy doing it this season to see how I go

Scotland's top national flyer will stop training before the first race and send the lot every week including the national.

Does John Bosworth split them after the first race?

No Roland I was thinking of something slightly stronger. Application on the skin behind the neck would suffice.

 

Nothing stronger than the juice of the Rhubarb leaves. Bring to boil and then quickly simmer for a few minutes.

You know, and I think / sincerely believe, without knocking any one, the adage of 'Excuses' rise to paramount portions to stay as we are. Yet, and the truth is, a short while and this topic will again be discussed, and again, and again. Nothing ventured nothing gained is oft said.. Maybe we should all invest in a magic wand lol (Joshing in bad taste lol)

 

Why don't / isn't it put it to the test by at least some. Split their' team in halves (quarters is flying a rotation - though I think with y/b's they don't need it). Stick to it and at season's end count the losses from both. Merit of their racing etc. Further this will be well tested with great results - probably as yearling and onwards. Those left will be good for future older racing. Indeed flown under the same regime if so desired!

 

Ok there are two thoughts of whinging here that compels and two arguments. One obviously counteracts the other.

A. it would indeed certainly mean far less y/b's losses ... but B. Wanting to win ... at WHAT COST!

 

You can't have that cake and eat it, that is a fact. So whilst one breeds more each year to counteract losses, the B.O.P. are happier and their young likewise on a full belly. The RSPB laugh and say 'What, and you blame us! You want US to help you when you breed more to feed our birds of prey! I should co - coa'. Yes it is sadly, very sadly a laughing stock. Oh I know, you want to win!

 

(I have yearlings not been in the basket yet... May well go if sun on back Not bothered as, as two year old they can go. Next season I WILL have a team. Many been a couple to 5 times. Others less or not at all. But I know they will hold their own).

As always I am on the internet reading results or systems looking up fanciers.

 

Came across Kees Droog from the Netherlands who won Pau International

 

Kees adopts his very own training methods. He competes in the Natour races only with the first round of young birds; the second and third round are not raced or trained in their year of birth. At the age of one they compete in all races, including the first one day long distance, to prepare for Agen (ZLU).

 

So as you can see many roads lead to Rome
