Races under 250 miles are solely used to gain the birds experience and to prepare them for the longer races yet without being fully prepared for these<br />
faster races my birds prove the pace and ability they have. For most of my birds (including Champion Indy and Louis) going to Messac at 242 miles is<br />
normally the first time they will ever have been on a transporter in their life.<br />
In the early years I just raced in the club, being either in the mighty West of England South Road Combine, or the Bristol Federation, then in later years<br />
I raced more with the Nationals and Classics.<br />

References<br />
One thing that makes me very proud is how well my birds have done for other lofts around the UK and even further<br />
abroad. How often do you hear of such fantastic pigeons that always fail to perform even in very experienced hands?<br />
For me to see how well these birds perform in other lofts proves again just how fantastic a set of birds my Indy family<br />
really is.<br />
I respect the views of those fanciers who wish to keep their performances with my birds to themselves but I am very<br />
grateful to the lofts below for their References (phone numbers can be supplied at request should you wish to verify<br />
them for yourselves);<br />
