2021 RPRA Yearling Races

YEARLING RACE
September 20th, 2020
Good morning After a cracking race yesterday i am being inundated with messages and calls asking if the yearling races are taking place next year the answer is a big YES.

I will be taking a year out of my own domestic racing or longer to make it happen as I explained earlier in the year.

There will be about 60 of mine sold on the rpra auction site and my loft will be empty to race the yearlings to.

Full rules printed this week online and the BHW.

But at a glance will be 4 races on the North rd I expect Alnwick being the semi final then the final from around 350 miles.

The loft will be limited to 250 birds at £200 each with prize money on each race and the final race 10k first prize plus a Ace pigeon award etc.

Cameras set up for each race plus live clocking on Benzing etc.

So now your be getting 9 races a year including the ybs.

News tomorrow evening on the winner and the Ace pigeon winner.

how does it work with being yearlings do youpay a 2nd fee after you have flown yb one loft

will it be this years young birds that can go one to be raced as yearlings .....? he said he will stop his own club racing to do it so i presume this is what he means .....

yeah first 250 to pay up get in i guess and they dont go to auction they race as yearlings then if they come through that they get auctioned as yearlings i guess

This should be interesting, maybe on what, how & when type of thing . Defeats the whole purpose from my perspective if the name of the game is to just make money from what's left over after our last race. Early days I know but will follow this one with interest, especially when its mentioned he/they will stop his club racing etc which seems somehow rather strange/baffling to me here I'm   David.

Agree Knackered.

I think Knackered that he says he will have an empty old bird loft in which to race the yearlings to.

Must be a decent sized loft.

So he will not be racing old birds himself.

Bit of a puzzler realy.

Would yearlings be paired up etc;

Who decides what ?.

????????????????????.

Regards.
