Dear Breeders,
Quick note on the 400 Miller, some breeders are calling and confused about the 100.00 entry to fly in the 400 Miler even though it has a 25,000 Loaded prize fund, the 100.00 entry will increase the prize fund, you’ll need to Pay the 100.00 Entry to participate in the 400 Miler. The Prize payout list will be posted the day prior to the race.
If you’re coming to the 400 Mile Race and want to pick up your Hold Birds or your buddies Birds and save the cost of shipping, lets us know we’ll have the bird there for you at time before basketing.
We will start shipping birds back to the Breeders 2 weeks after the 400 Miler, also we will start cutting the prize money checks 2 weeks after the 400 miler, please send in your w-9’s. If you had prize money last year over 600.00 and gave us W-9 we’ll have it on file…Don’t have to send one in.
Good Luck to All

Congratulations to the Winners of the Golden Valley Late Hatch Race. It was nice seeing all the Flyers that show up and a good time was had by ALL. Special thanks go to Enrique Puga EL Cantina Restaurant Kingman, AZ and his Family for the delicious Mexican Food. It was a bit chilly for all of us, but the birds were flying threw some extreme cold weather 4 degrees at Release, snow on the ground about 1/3 of Racecourse, with clear skies. 3/4 quarters of the birds returning as of date.
292,000 paid out prizes so far, Paying down 94 Spots per 1000.00 each.
3 Birds on the drop Paying 30,000 each goes to… 44th Loft, Ilonggo Connection and Big Game Loft (from Storage Wars “hey we watch it”). First Ace Pigeon goes to Cloux Loft 10,000, with H-Y Loft, Max Rosas, Lone Peak, Milestone Loft. With Good Breeding and good Training these birds rose to the top. And Congratulations to all the birds that returned, Good Job.
Now the 400 Miler coming up on a Saturday (weather permitting) approx. 2 to 3 weeks, all eligible Paid Entries for the Race will have a green dot next to it in the 400 Column, so be sure to get your entry in BEFORE RACE DAY. All Birds Not Paid for will go to the Race. Please Let us Know if you don’t want your bird to go to the 400 Miler all birds not going to the Race will be MARKED on eligibility column will be marked Hold… So, it’s imperative that you let us know which birds to Hold and not send to the race.
400 Miler has already been funded from Entry Fee. 25,000. If 500 paid 100.00 entries, there would be appox.75,000 Prize fund. Just a thought!! Not Bad for 100.00 Investment.
Special thanks to Clay MacBeth for Driving and Releasing the Birds and Margaret Howell and Brian Crossen Jr. great job Basketing the Birds.
Checking the weather Report we should have a window of opportunity for a Friday Moring Release in Gallop New Mexico, it has been storming in the Mountain Passes in Flagstaff. Reports say it should be Clear with patching Clouds making for an interesting Race. We want to announce Basketing will Start a 10:00 Thursday, if you do come you can handle your bird during the basketing process, Only the Paid Flyer can Handle the Bird and the Bird cannot leave the garage area. This will be Strictly Enforced.
Clay MacBeth will drive the Birds to Gallop, he is very experience in Pigeon Releasing. Birds will be counted on the First Drop order, then Clocking Order. Example is: if 4 birds are on the drop… Then the 4 Prizes will be added together an distributed evenly.
Look forward to seeing everybody Race Day
All stay Safe. Brian Crossen and GVLHR Team

Good evening, Breeders
We had 2 Antennas go out today on the training toss, that's why we have approx. 800 Birds clock in. The Reason stems from the bad weather that damage the lofts in the Tornado last Oct- Nov, at least we are getting on top of this Now and not Race Day. Antennas will be in 2 days and will continue the Training before the 135 Sprint Race.
Remember : we are taking in Entry Fees.
