Thanks Gary mate 👍

@alibrospigeons8317 very welcome pal 👍 😀

Thanks David there definitely learning mate 👍

I think there was definitely flash downpours today mate 👍

Thanks Colin

I think we just about missed it but I know the front lads caught a bit rain 👍

Viv 4-5-6 position today , which is a little disappointing but we suspected as much as my dad didn’t want to send as he knew they just weren’t quite right , he put them on a treatment as soon as they returned as there underweight and the wottles are not great , so the important thing is we got full returns and more experience and hopefully there looking a lot better for next weekend but they trapped great so there learning quick 👍

@@alibrospigeons8317 i would be happy with that given what you said your not far off the mark and better to come look forward to the net race thanks again boys for letting me into your world cheers Viv

@@buttypal really happy your enjoying the Viv , take care mate 👍

We have been training every day we can David , just to get them in a routine of straight home straight in

100% there learning each week Doug , that’s all we want from them to keep getting better

Hi Eddie , Our Fed comprises of 3 clubs All of our fed stretches only 2miles and in a straight line except we have one fancier 3 miles away on the coast , he used to fly in Sunderland fed but changed to our fed . The main flight line South Shields is a huge disadvantage in the combine as the best place to fly is on the coast and we are 2 miles inland so with the predominant wind being south west the coast is the place to fly so it makes topping a combine very difficult with the only hope being no wind but the combine stretches 100 miles and we are pretty much bang centre so any fluctuations in the wind makes it even more difficult as the birds could get faster or slower on route . Really happy with the improvements in trapping this week Eddie but we nearly didn’t send , the birds are underweight and not great wottles so there on a treatment now so hopefully by next week they should be bang on , but the good news is we have a full house home 👍

Cheers mate that's a big combine. Ours was 70 miles from the shortest to the longest. Our loft was a mile and half away from the coast. Which put us about 18 miles off the line of flight. But we still use to get in the fed when the wind was right and sometimes top it cheers mate 👍

@@eddiewright5271 no problem Eddie 👍

1hr 30 mate

4-5-6 Anthony but we didn’t think they were right when we sent them , but full returns so where happy mate

Still a good result but Like u say tho lads its all learning for next season 👍

@@anthonymoore8876 we don’t care if we don’t win a yb race , il settle for no wins and 50 of them left for next season , we always have a slowly slowly approach and the only time they will be fully wound up if for the yb national 👍

Looks like you had a good race there good on you . We had a race from blanford 131 miles N/W cannot believe velocity the winner doing 1705 , thought we had a good one doing g 1677 South to North. We were not even out there at that velocity crazy speed

@@paulahume6318 hi Paula , yes we got a great race and full returns , I’ve heard some horror stories across the country though

2 to come mate so hopefully get them all back 👍

All ways good to whach good luck

@@paulmercer9262 thanks Paul mate

'Not bothered about the times it's all about getting them home' ....as they frantically get phone calls and calculate velocities in their heads... Who you trying to kid 😉🤣 We all say that but when it comes down to it we all want a good one.....waiting for that first one, how good a feeling is that! Then we anxiously wait for the rest. Enjoy watching you both, just like me and my lad on a race day....love it 👍 Best Sunday night viewing....beats the antique road show hands down 😉

@@AndrewKenmare haha , we all have that competitive edge Andrew lol , but I’m not going to lie we are terrified of losing these ybs as we have at this present time 2 old birds staying in the team , so god it would be nice to win but I honestly would settle for a full house every week , 2 yrs ago we didn’t win a single yb race and them ybs as yearlings topped the fed 11 times , what you will notice about the way we train and push ybs is they will be bang on for the yb national but until the 2 weeks leading up to that race there treated very softly , another main reason is we can’t separate our ybs cocks and hens , there all doing it this week and they will get a boost from it but we don’t have the space to even consider it so it’s just another reason why our approach to yb racing is solely educational and we’ve always thought as yearling because this is the first time separated after breeding a round we have always felt we get a bigger boost , is this true I don’t know 100% but over the last few years they have been fantastic as yearlings . As always mate thanks for watching , I really do appreciate it 👍
