The Second Wind turned out to be more challenging than expected. It was a gorgeous day with very light variable winds the entire course. The "Special 3" were out front by a few minutes proving to be the best in San Diego on this day.
Congratulations to all that scored in the 3 races.
We plan on sending birds back next week. We need all breeders to send the shipping form found on website. Please fill out with where you would like bird to be sent to.
Breeders who won a prize of $600 or more please send in w-9. Also, to be found on website. A Prize shall not be released until w-9 is received.
We would like to thank all of the Breeders who participated in our San Diego races. It was a very unsual year for racing. We experienced so many abnormal weather patterns this year making we believe one of the most difficult in 20 years of OLR racing.
Happy Holidays
The Second Wind will be flown from Miami, Az, on Saturday December 2. This race will be a mass release with San Diego Holiday Classic and Royal Cup. Just under 900 birds for the release.
The weather looks good for the entire course. Variable winds and cool temperatures.
For those attending, please bring your own chairs.
Good luck to all!!

Close behind was John Gutierrez from New Mexico.

We made a few changes for our races in San Diego:
-Royal Cup to be flown on Sunday.
-San Diego Holiday Classic to be flown Monday.
-California Classic remains to be flown Tuesday.
Saturday shows scattered thunderstorms at the release. Our local rain is expected to move out later today. We will resume with a loft fly today and a short trainer tomorrow for the California Classic.
Note: The California Classic is hosting a Champion Breeders auction for Monday. The auction is currently on ipigeon. There are definetly some birds you do not want to miss.
We are a week away from the final. The birds will be given a short toss tomorrow. We have rain coming in Wednesday through Friday. We will work with the birds accordingly.
We sent out a email over the weekend pertaining to the race week. Those breeders who have waited to mail until today need to over night or either Paypal their entry fee.
Again, we would like to congratulate, Robert Burge aka Bird Dog syndicate. Robert was 1st in the trap California Classic and 30 minutes later 1st in the trap in the Royal Cup. Also, a special note to the Dutch Farmers from Canada Oscar and Linda Devries. Their pigeon was 1st at the 140 and again 2nd in the trap at the 190. Outstanding!!
We are all getting excited for the weekend. Looking forward for some great racing and for the new friendships we will all be making.
