just cant get it at all? why would any fancier want to give a bird to a complete stranger to race when the art of pigeon racing lies in the hand o the fanciers ability to condition his bird to beat the masses?

Some fanciers who constantly experience BOP attacks at their lofts, may choose this as an alternative to racing to their own lofts.

Also many fanciers like to see their birds race under other fanciers methods and conditions, JMO

[rikki]

alternative! why would anybody want to watch another fancier race his bird ?this still does not answer the question?the art of pigeon racing was deemed to be left in the hands o the fancier ?

[yeboah]

Big Money ???

[rikki]

naff all to do with the art o racing pigeons ,money is no substitute to reconition of the praise o other fanciers,!!

looks like you are loosing the plot, you have put up 2 different threads, and have asked a question on each, then when some one answers, you say "naff" nothing to do with>>>>>>> this thread is about Futurity races, yet you respond to a reply " what has this got to do with the art of racing pigeons"(title of your other thread)

Hope you get an answer to your questions m8

Good Luck

The guys and galls who race and win consistently have mastered the art of racing
The ones who dont have not.
Some people can own the best birds in the land but if they do not no the head from the asre not going to master the ART ?

superb!!!

the doo at marlbourgh should have beaten all the easties that day but yes your wee doo that was second open was most definately a topper and was so close to an ayrshire national win. no more thinking rikki theres a wee thaw on over here and will go and get the doos done.

[rikki]

ye need tae get up earlier than that tae dae the doos , lol

A good social side to pigeon racing is a positive that shouldn't be underestimated. Many a good friendship have been made through these type of events. Nothing to do with the art of 'pigeon racing' perhaps! but for me I'd rather forge a friendship than sit there and dwell on what I might or might not have sitting in the loft and how capable I am at racing them.

[rikki]

nicely put

what the hell has that got to do with "Futurity racing" ,i am really begining to lose the plot now

[ovy1255]

nothing to do with pigeons but loads of guys get a lot of pleasure from haveing a bet at the local bookies but most dont want to be a jockey or own a horse,we all get our pleasures from pigeons in different ways ,racing on saturday in some areas on wednesday some like to show their birds some just like to keep them-fantails ,rollers etc.some send their birds off to try them elsewhere and all on hear have watched WULDON,S birds and seen how they are doing.
so we all get our enjoyment in different ways-and if its all for money 99.9% of us are doing something wrong.
