| we have started to form an extreme distance team, the first youngsters will be bred from these next year so it will be a few years yet before they can prove themselves. these will be based on 3 x Batenburg Van De Merves cocks paired with some Silver Barkers (2 x chequers, 1 x blue) hens.
we have had the Van Reets & Gaby Vandenabeeles win in the past upto 501mile but few and far between. |

no i would call anything over 550mile as extreme
basically my thoughts are:-
sprint upto 200mile
middle distance 200 to 350mile
distance 350 to 550mile
extreme 550mile plus |

at the moment im more interested in the short to middle distance with just starting, i think distance racing requires more knowlage and different management compared to short.....and i also think its harder to fly distance racing....so ill stick to short for now until/if i get more experiance racing.... |
