Yesterday we also had a team in the British Barcelona Club race from Messac.
The birds were liberated at 6.30am in a northeast wind and being one of the most westerly race points on the calendar we thought they would come in a bit deeper. Even so we were hoping to see birds doing a velocity of low 1300’s to get in the shake up so we’re looking out for arrivals around the 12.15 mark.
At 12.26 our yearling hen ‘516’ came like a rocket out of the west doing a velocity of 1260 ypm to score prov 6th Section, 24th National.
She is from a son of ‘Amano’ x ‘Alzina’ from C&G Koopman and daughter of ‘Olympic Fire Eyes’ x ‘Flying Wonder’ from G&S Verkerk.
This hen previously scored 1st Section, 2nd National NFC Messac 4563b against the wind earlier in the month so obviously likes this racepoint.
Congratulations to Martin Williams for winning the race but also to Paul & Esther Kenny and David & Emma Armstrong for 1st and 2nd section and 2nd and 3rd Open. Well done all.
