Ideal Conditions for St. Malo Derby
The Final Old Bird event in this Year’s East Down Combine Diary was the Old Bird Derby from St.Malo which over the past few seasons has produced some very difficult races but this year was different with the 368 birds from the Combine being released into SSE wind at 6.30 am on the Morning of July 30th and with ideal conditions en route the leading birds recorded velocities in excess of 1400ypm with many fanciers recording multiple day arrivals in this 3 day event .
Because of a problem occurring at one of the centres causing a delay in the finalisation of this result and with the young bird races now in progress I am going to leave details of early birds in this and the other Classic and Derby races until nearer the end of the season when more time will be available to do the winners and their birds justice and it will provide some articles I hope of interest for the dark winter days , meantime can I extend congratulations to all who have been successful in these major events . The full St.Malo result was :
