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.

 

  

 

 

 

 

The ESPO 350 happened on Monday 10-01-07 the Espo race  or Espo challenge, http://www.esposeastcoastchallenge.com/ its 1 grand a bird to enter and 200 perch fee , I was in the money  on the 200,250 and 300, now again in the $$the 350  I had two birds in the money on this 350,  they had 22 birds on the drop which I am in aw of, but this is the way it went , then he had a drop of 8 birds one of my birds was in that 2^nd drop, but was the last bird to run in, so he ended up 30^th I know it sounds lousy 30 but he could have been 23 just the same,  and the next bird for me  clock at 35 position,

I am having a hard time to believe  some of the birds that came  on the 300 late  the week before  long after the first birds clock or the next day ended up on the drop of the 22 birds,  I guess we all learn something every day.  I would be wrong as the birds must of flown them self into shape.   since they pay all that entry fees the birds go each week no matter there condition or placement on last race,  there are a few other guys in there whose birds flew  shity but ended on the drop ahead of me, in this last 350,  Pigeon races are sure hard to figure,  some of the biggest  names  in the sport are participating  in this Espo race and  , I am right there in the thick of it, my birds did not get lost and did not fail, as a matter of fact some one who was there when they seen my bird who came in the 35th position said the bird looked as fresh as can be, remember 35 position is not far off the pace when they had a drop of 22 and another drop of 8 this bird was in the third drop ,  I  will  win 9^th ,one of the  average speed prizes,  there is ten average speed positions in this race the entry was 1000 plus 200 perch per bird. Well any way to make a long story short, both of my both birds flew and clock each week in there series of races ESPO had.

“In order to win a prize for Average Speed (otherwise known as “Champ Bird – Point System” each bird has to have clocked on the actual race day for all 4 races. However, in the event that none of the birds that are eligible for Average Speed prizes going into the 4th race clock on the day of the 4th race, we will use the results of the first 3 races to determine the winners of the Average Speed prizes. If only one eligible bird clocks on the day of the 4th race then that one bird will win the entire Average Speed prize (combined amount for all 10 slots). Average speed is figured on clocking position and not on time in the air or flying time

Walsh loft wins Annual Pine Tree Derby!

  9-17-06  I received a call  from Jim Peck , that my birds have  also won the Pine tree futurity in Maine  ,

  The race was reported to me as  a hard race,  I was FIRST, and 4th , I only sent two birds to the Maine Pine Tree Derby  Race , also this same weekend I clocked in the prize money in the big Detroit race,  the birds were  flying 387 miles 

 it  looks like I got lucky in in another futurity Race that I sent a few young birds too, , this time in Long Island  NY I was 3^rd & 11^th,  & 21 in the  EMF Futurity. our bird was  a minute and a half  out of winning and 20 seconds out of second place, the birds were sent in , and then get put up for auction , these were bought by Manny Parada,  you heard the song if they can make it in New York they can make it any where, and its real true in pigeon flying, 

2005 Futurity Season We were just getting settled at the beach , Plus I had a operation in March in Pennsylvania, so I was a little behind breeding this year. But I did fly and win a few young bird races at the ACC club. in the 2005 I.F. convention race a bird of mien placed 16th .

2004 Futurity Season

The SMCC race in Detroit was Sat. Sept. 18th 2004 with a strong N/NE wind (headwind). Warren Sessink clocked my bird first to his loft taking 19th position overall taking a $1000 capital prize and high pools for both Warren and myself.  His loft was the 4th loft in the race over all. My friend Don Goodwin was 3rd overall in this SMCC race also which was 1 minute behind the winning bird. His bird is bred out of a pair of yearlings he bought from me last year. Don's bird flew in the loft of Ken Howard which was the winning loft of this big race in Detroit.

Also on Sept 25th 2004 in the ( EMF) East Meadow Long Island Auction Futurity which was a 300 plus mile race my bird scored  7th position which was flown by  Mark Nieradko .

2003 Futurity Season

Like most pigeon flyers. I only send a few birds to out of area futurities. It is quite an accomplishment to have any survive until race day. Winning money is icing on the cake! Here is a brief breakdown of my birds did this season in other lofts hands.

NSRB - Oct. 18th - I placed 3rd position flying a bird in Manny Parada's loft and 7th place in this highly  regarded Long Island race with Circle Loft, This race paid out to the top 50 positions. Circle loft  won the race with two birds on the drop my bird clocked by circle was right behind the winners coming to the loft with another bird and clocking in 7th . That’s very good racing.

East Meadow Auction Futurity - Sept. 30th - I won 4th and 30th in this 323 mile Long Island race.

I.F. Convention Race - Nov. 7,2003- I placed two birds in the $$$ in 32nd position and 66th place in this CONVENTION RACE   for   Young Birds

SNF Auction Futurity - Oct. 4th - I clocked in the money.

Scranton Futurity - Oct. 5th - I won 2nd place in this 334-mile race.

Lou McElroy Futurity - Oct. 18th - I took 4th place in this Greater North Carolina Concourse $50 per band race with Sal DiFazio of Waterway Loft handling my bird. A bird bred out of breeders from me won the 5th position.

 

Some other wins include: 16th and 17th in the Biddeford Maine Futurity, placed in the top 20 in the Motor City Futurity 400 mile race, won two prizes in two different lofts in the Detroit Classic 300 mile race.

As you can see, I had a good run in 2003. I won money in most of the futurities my birds flew and did well in the club and combine race here in PA. I’m glad the races are over though; it’s getting too cold. Maybe I’ll have to go back to NC soon to warm up for next year.

Good Luck.
