I stuffed up.
I typed Newbury races and picked 5 bets.
Three winners, all good, except down here it was still Friday so when I said "today's races" it gave me Friday's fields.
I got
14.57 Silver Soverieign 200@3/1 = 800
13.52 Bin Jahwar 300@2/5 = 420
16.07 Patullus 100 @2/1 - 300
I don't know if ...

That's a team of 10 that he's paid for, plus 4 breeders plate rings, 4 Gold band rings. The breeder gets 50% of the prize money on those special ring races.
Terry organized that before we won the Ballarat race and I'm happy to do it. But I've made it clear that we don't have $50 youngsters anymore ...

I've discovered, as if I didn't know, that pigeon racing is a good metaphor for human nature.

I've had pigeons for a long time, they have always gone okay, but no one had ever heard my name, certainly I had no queue at the door for them.
After a couple of good seasons, this one just finishing ...

Ok thanks Dave I will give the ball's ago mate.
Yes found a local club a couple of miles away from me which is great.
I have spoken to the sec a few times, even before I go my birds in.
With it being September time now he said it's bet to leave joining the RPRA until the new year as I will be ...

That would be an interesting topic, even for someone like me who has never given much thought to distance racing.
What sort of distance would you consider "distance racing"?

Crikey, I don't think I've seen an old bird fall apart like that!
But yes, it's the long hot summer that has done it. As you will be aware the extraordinary summer you have just had is an ordinary summer where I live.
I fact, over the last 15 to 20 years our summers have become increasingly mild ...

I presume you are going to have to take your old loft down before you move? Which is only in a couple of weeks time. I would probably take them to where you’re moving to and release them from there a few times before you move. Once moved and settled in they will hopefully retrace their way back to ...

Actually, I'm not convinced about the reasons, I hesitate to say excuses, why there are too many losses these days.

I am of the opinion that good pigeons can stand the training and can be sent to the races fit and educated.
If there is a hesitancy to give the young pigeons a thorough training ...
