Is that 100 deg in old money Ant? so 37.78C? I know a guy in India that races in 43C so that would be 109F He says they only stop racing when it gets to 45C/115F

Yes old mick Broome who raced in Australia don't no what part he said it was that hot he had to soak bedding in a bath of water n ring them out to sleep it was that hot, he said 500 miles on the day with barley n linseed said European mix birds would sit on loft n pant
Because of he's breathing he moved bk here to uk n as won many races he was a carpenter but said he could stop work in racing season he won enough money, I could of listened to he's story's for ages.

Yeah Australia is very hard on the birds. Was reading an article on 700 mile YB racing out there across ground so dry the only water the birds could drink was from cattle/sheep troughs on route
