Our achievements in combine races, and  in Futurity out of area races, in the USA, are remarkable, since we race with a small team of birds  and win out of turn , how can we win in some one else loft? We do! Again and again.  Let us not forget the all important FIRST PLACE 2006 I.F. CONVENTION. We only send out a limited number of birds of Futurity birds and our record is to be envied.  In 2006 I only shipped three birds to the convention race and we won the race and had a second bird high on the prize list. In the Pine tree Futurity in Maine  my bird IF-06-PTD-247 , thee race was reported to me as  a hard race,  I was FIRST,  with a 247,  bred by my  old Schofield line and ,Peck finished 4th  with  IF-06-PTD-248  , I only shipped two birds to this out of area race, the Maine Pine Tree Derby  Race .A update on these two birds I sent to Maine, as two year old, the son of Big Daddy  IF-06-PTD-248  wins the 500 combine 2008 for Jim Peck Saco Maine, the bird  IF-06-PTD-247 bred out of the Son of Cunan also was clocked on this 500 , in a previous race he  was only was 4 or 5 seconds  out of first combine.

2007 Futurity Season

I.F Convention Race ; Washington DC

4 birds clocking in the prizes for walsh in 3 different lofts.

7th East Meadow Futurity Auction (EMF) Futurity 2007 Long Island NY  raced on  10-01-07 d my bird was clocked 7^th position at Manny Parade’s Long Island loft, another tuff New York race happen on  this weekend with many birds lost,  I get lucky once in a while and get a prize.

Well the facts of the world trade center race in New York 350 miles and over which happen Saturday September 29^th 2007. one of  my  birds that was bred for Bill& Mike loft from NJ,  won tenth position, This major New York Metropolitan race clocked  only 12 day birds, can you imagine  the world trade center  race, with only 12 day birds. Participating in this race  there was  over 161 lofts over 1600 on the birds, first paid 50 grand  150th pays 1 grand,  Billy clocked  the same bird WWTC 5532 on the 200 mile race for a equal first place club and a sixth CJC concourse with 222 lofts and 3188 birds  and the bird is a son of Conor

BAM One Loft Race  10-14-07 my bird took 3rd Position two seconds behind the winner, He was on the drop with the and another race  to be flown at  250 miles on 10-27-07

  Friday, 10-07-07 one of the birds I bred was 3^rd in the GSO race series,  l the gso is a series of races the jersey ,and Bronx flyers compete in , they pay 1250 dollars which entitles them to fly five different races on 5 different weekend at different distances,  they are allowed to send only seven birds each, from the way I under stand, in a previous race one of the birds I bred  placed 2^nd and another bird  as 12^th , ,  these races are against the best lofts in the NJ/NY area.

I feel the best birds and flyers are in the New York area, if you can win there, u can win any where, they are the best of the best, birds that win in New York, & should eat up a race where only mediocre birds fly.

the  ,Suffolk-Nassau Futurity (SNF)- in long island new York 10-07-07 2nd & 11 SNF Futurity. 07 Long Island NY , it turned out to be a tuff race again ,, I sent three birds to  there  fifty dollar bands auction , u pay a entry fee and then the birds get auction to the handlers in NY, so this makes a big pot of capital cash,  I ended up placing 2nd and 11th  in two different lofts,  all three of my birds were still there when shipping and made the race. As you know this is a feat in itself to have one bird make the race never mind all 3, I say this because all the young bird losses out there have left many empty perches.

 Now is the time to order 2009 young bird kits or pairs of birds for 2009 breeding, as you can see the birds fly for others as well as me. Breeder's 2009 YOU SEE ALL OF WIDOWHOOD BIRDS .PARENTS. This year’s breeding season went well and I managed to raise outstanding young birds.  I am loft flying and training what has not already been sold or entered in futurities with other handlers.
