93rd Grand Final Welsh Elite OLR 2025
If only this pigeon hadn’t had an injury 1 week before the 1st Hotspot
After missing a training toss or two he sneaked in the basket and went on a trainer, , The owner Edward Maxwell who was in daily contact decided he was well enough to carry on and from then on he improved daily, With a nasty chest and neck injury he was visible on arrival and he literally improved every week moving up the pecking order(no pun intended) – We will never know his true potential racing so maybe he will have more of a stage to perform breeding
