The hen was my first bird from both of the 2 longest old bird races last year. The cock had a couple of races last year and is in my widowhood team this year.

Thing is we need them to win regular and straight away as yearlings in sprinting and be in the early birds in the fed I just don’t think they are worth it
I can breed enough homers early in the year without the hassle of late breds

I agree they are not much use in a sprinting loft. when I raced I can't remember a good one for me sprinting. I did however have one win 1st at 500 miles that was a late bred one year.

I done brilliant with June bred baby's carrying 3 old flights but late breds iv not had much luck with
But June bred baby's sprinting as yearlings 10 months old were unbelievable and they won mnfc combined averages carrying 3 old flights,

Few sprint distance birds

Agree king
May bred raced young are fine to race the yb program and score but once you get to the age you can’t race them that year there not much use if you race against a decent level of fancier on the sprints

I'm going to race babys this Yr Neil there late March April bred baby's going on dark 1st may
It's the same way I raced yb in London n they last the 9 weeks perfect,
Iv missed not racing baby's so can't wait.

Iv asked best late bred flyers in uk each one said to me it's the weather why you loose em
They said you drop em at 65 miles in April but clock on day at 400 in summer,
So I looked further n most best channel flyers in ire race late breds but in summer then in USA n south africa there late breds but they cut n pull last 3 flights but it's warm,
So I definitely think it's about the climate you fetch them out in.
The lads I know who do it do it well but it takes patience
