RACE REPORT HOTSPOT 3

Hotspot 3 was held on 15th June from Lupane Dam, 237 km Southeast of the loft. The weather was good with clear skies and mild temperatures. The wind started at approximately 10 km/hr quickly picking up to about 17 km/hr directly from behind the pigeons.

The first pigeon clocked after 2 hours 12 min achieving a velocity of 1791 m/min. A total of 1900 birds were basketed for the race and the pigeons returned as follows,

  • 208 within 15 minutes behind the winner
  • 1130 within 30 minutes
  • 1449 within 1 hour
  • 1601 on the first day

1667 returned in race time. 12.26 % were still out when the clock was stopped. Most pigeons are in good condition with some late comers on rest from mid-week training.

The Tracker results showed 3 out of 6 flying North toward Zambia (not with the wind) crossing the Zambezi River about 100 km East of the loft. 2 continued North before splitting and then circled back whilst 1 split earlier taking a bend at the river and flying West to the loft. The other pigeons flew a straighter line directly home.

 

Hotspot 4 is scheduled for this coming Saturday and pays out US$ 35,800 for the top 50 places.  BONUS RACES ARE ALREADY OPEN! Enter now!
