MISTAKE!
I made a Colossal Mistake with the prize funds, and I forgot to subtract the winnings from the 175-mile race and 225-mile race from the purse. My formula for figuring out the breakdown was flawed.
I realize that most of the prize winners are disappointed, but to move this forward, I must adjust the payouts. I will give the affected winners a free perch fee for next year's race.
And FYI, the same formula was used on last year's prize payouts, which I just discovered.
Take care and be safe!
Good morning, Breeders,
We will be basketing birds here on Thursday, Feb. 22nd, at 9:00 am.
The next day, Feb. 23rd, we will be releasing birds in Gallup, New Mexico, which is our 325-mile race and our last average speed race. Lunch will be served at noon on Friday. Hope to see you all here on race day.
“It’s been a tough year training with the weather and predators.”
Our 400-mile race will be 2 weeks after Gallup.
Good Luck to all!
For any questions, please call 760 900 6486
The 225 race has been changed to Friday Feb. 16th. Our main goal is to get all the birds to the 325 main race. Hope to see you all here Feb. 23rd.
We will be having our 225 Mile Race this Thursday, Feb. 15th, the last of the series races.
Dave Jones, our driver will take them to the Main 325 Mile Race on February 23rd, the day before the I Pigeon Gala, weather permitting; there will be a training toss of 65 miles on Tuesday 13th, we will be releasing them over snow-packed ground. Hoping to get them used to a little white-out conditions. 3 feet of snow fell this last week in Flagstaff.
We still have a couple of birds available for sale. Look for the No check mark and No Dot in the Wincompaion Breeder columns.
Good Luck to all.
