Matt Rakes

very poor, you would think a race like that would pay out good prize money even for winning the race as i would emagine it wouldnt be cheap to enter....maybe the moneys in the pools....

That is why a lot of fanciers only send there pigeons with no money put on them

And yes it is not cheap to send in this type of racing

mind you though don, just think of how proud youd feel if you won a national race....it would be worth it anyway wouldnt it ?

Yes it would

But when yousee how expensive it is just to send the pigeons there should be a little more to win

found a picture of matt and write ups about his previous wins....he has won these nationals before hasnt he.....

what nationals you on about david the up north combine ?

1st National FC Tarbes

Ian

Matt has won the CSCCFC x2 1 old bird and 1 young bird in the young bird race he won the car also

And now the main one 1st National NFC Tarbes Blue Ribbon race

He leaves in the paulton area down south

never heard of him until you posted his results don, now everywhere i go on the computer theres write ups about him...

sounds like top flier wish i had some of his birds

by what i can gather he is ian, some good birds too......wish i had some also.

whether his pigeons will fly good in this area is another thing like to try them

yes, would be nice....although i think i remember don saying he mioght be selling some after season in the weeklys........???

If he breeds any late breds he usually puts them in the book to sell

He is a top flyer who only wants to fly against the best and he is not afrayed to fly against the best flyers around

If you were to obtain some birds of matt he will tel you how to fly them what to do with the birds to win

Must say you will not go wrong with his birds

Steve van breeman has an internet pigeon magazine which matt does writ ups and they are very interesting to read

do you have the site address don ? would like to visit it........

Sorry David have not got it

Come to think about it if you type in steve van breeman then you may get something which you can follow to get to were you want

I think you can access this magazine on the net for 12 months free then after that you will have to pay after that but during the free period you can only access parts of the magazine unless it has changed

hi don, ive been on his site but didnt look around it too much at the time.....ill get the address and maybe post on here for members to have a look themselves....

Glad you found it as i am a complete waste of time with computers
