The second race of the season was a tough race from Fort Hall.  Early morning, the weather was bad with thunderstorms.  At 8:00am it had cleared up and looked nice.  The decision was made to release the birds.  The weather was near perfect while we waited for the birds to arrive.  Somehow this ended up being a really tough race.  Many from our club ended up missing birds, the Salt Lake Clubs reported heavy losses too.  The Plymouth Peak Pro Challenge released birds at the exact same time along the course and as of Sunday night, there were still just 303 out of 463 birds back.  Very tough day of pigeon racing.

This week’s first place bird was AU 2012 OGN 3501 and once again team of Armando and Sal from Sal’s Loft came out on top taking the first 3 places.  Legacy Loft, Ashby Loft, Pink Raiders, Slot’s Loft, and Skyway Loft all scored birds in the top 10%.  Congratulations to Sal’s Loft on another 1st Place.  View complete club results HERE.
