Don't get yourself too down, Dan, young bird racing is full of disappointments, it's only once the season is over and you have the survivors to bring through, that you can assess your season. That missing bird could have hit a wire, been shot etc, so many unknowns, they're racing pigeons and the only way they can race is if you send them. They don't win you anything sitting in the shed.
Fantastic result for gold ring race shame that one bird not turned back could of hit wires or something fingers crossed mighht still turn good luck for next one👍
