Good Evening
Well what a great testing race today was they had to work every yard to the loft and kept working in 12 hours from liberation my estimate was 150 day birds so was not far off the mark.
Many congratulations to Andy Gregson previous Rpra one loft Yearling winners and my upmost respect to Damon Santos , Santos Wings his pigeon blue cock landed first a few seconds before Andy Gregson’s hen and started cooing to her and letting her drop in first but the in form Andy Gregson wins the Ace pigeon followed by Santos Wings 2nd and 3rd Ace pigeon fantastic performance from Damon from ????????????????????????.

Interesting O/S month age here I actually chatted a bloke up etc. First time in 30 odd years "local" said I'm looking for some fast pigeons as my stock loft was full of old age pensioner types I'm   now well past their use by date & somewhat knackered so to speak. Ok said he last week here I went & picked up my fast pigeons 2 cocks plus a hen in the end. Bloke in question, knew my nature type thing & his fast pigeon thinking were fast pigeons at the highest level here, but at around 12/13 hours type thing come race day (non kittle types) & they were by a stroke of luck, actually by chance mainly De-weerdts etc with a slight touch of Dordin thrown in the mix for good measure as such. End of the story     win, lose or whatever down here     I have absolutely no doubt       I will have a lot of fun with them over the next 30 odd years type thing, hopefully      .

good luck with the new arrivals oz

Yes Knackered, hope you show them how it's done.

But 30 years , think today better thinking in terms of months, you forget Putin and his ilk.

But be nice if you are right.

Regard s.

Which race is this George ?.

Regards.

Moray olr in Scotland

Apparently George there were 36 fanciers involved and 164 pigeons.

As far as I am concerned reasonable number for a fancier to ensure the pigeons welfare is catered for as and when needed.

Probably a fair result all round.

Cannot compare it with vast majority of other OLs.

Think the person running the event is a seemingly good fella.

Regards.
