Talk about anything racing pigeon related here aslong as there isnt a section for it.

Actually I always wanted to see Usain Bolt run 5000 metres. I reckon he would have jogged along for a few laps then with 200 to go he would have left them for dead!
I would have paid money to see that. :D

Thinking about this more, I was looking at the pedigrees of the 4 Jos Thone' young cocks I have in the shed. The grizzle and the 3 blue bars. They all have National and International winners from 550 to 700 miles all over the page. But the interesting thing is, The female line comes from champion Sedna, who won 1st International Narbonne, 550 miles. She is a cross bred between Thone's long distance pigeons and his speed pigeons. But top class distance pigeons and speed pigeons. Sedna was a champion, able to sprint 500 miles, and that trait is passed down.
Her descendants win Internationals at all sorts of distances, because they are so fast and have the quality, or class, to sustain it. Class, that's the thing. That hard to describe quality that they either have or don't have.
