THE SAN DIEGO TRIPLE CROWN HAS COME TO AN END. ONCE AGAIN IT PROVED TO BE ONE OF THE TOUGHEST COMPATITONS IN PIGEON RACING. MOST OF THE RACE BEING FLOWN THROUGH THE ARIZONA DESSERT AND A 4000 FOOT HIGH MOUNTAIN RANGE 80 MILES BEFORE THE FINISHLINE WITH STRONG HEAD WINDS.
OVER 300 BIRDS WERE ENTERED IN THE FIRST LEG OF THE TRIPLE CROWN THE 100 MILE DASH. ONLY ABOUT HALF RETURNED FROM THE DESSERT TO COMPLETE THE RACE. THE L.A.S. SYNDICATE HAD BIRDS IN THE SECOND AND THIRD DROP NOT BAD FOR A NEW PARTNERSHIP. VERY RESPECTABLE RESULTS.
ON THE NIGHT OF THE BASKETING FOR THE 200 MILE LEG OF THE TRIPLE CROWN THE L.A.S.SYNDICATE BIRDS LOOKED AND HANDLED VERY WELL AND ON RACE DAY IT PROVED TO BE TRUE WITH ONE L.A.S.SYNDICATE LANDING IN THE FIRST DROP AND THE OTHER IN THE THIRD DROP. WINING OUR FIRST BIT OF MONEY WITH OUR NEW SYNDICATE. ONCE AGAIN THE DESSERT COURSE TOOK ITS TOLL AND ONLY 82 BIRDS MADE IT HOME.
THE 3RD OF THE 3 RACE SERIES THE 300 MILE AND FINAL RACE FOR THE TRIPLE CROWN CHAMPIONSHIP WAS ONE OF THE TOUGHEST IN THE 20 YEAR HISTORY OF THE TRIPLE CROWN. ONLY TWO BIRDS IN THE FIRST DROP,AND ONLY TWO DROPS AFTER THAT WITH ONE BIRD IN EACH. THE L.A.S. SYNDICATE WAS ON THE THIRD DROP ALL ALONE AND 4TH PLACE OVER ALL. HOW TOUGH WAS THIS RACE? WELL ONLY 4 BIRDS EVEN MADE IT HOME. ANYONE WHO DOUBTS THE SEVARITY, HARSHNES, OR TOUGHNESS OF THIS COURSE SHOULD TRY COMPETEING IN IT.AND IF THE COURSE WERE NT BAD ENOUGH THE CALIBER OF FLYERS IS NOTHING BUT THE BEST OF THE BEST.
I’M VERY HAPPY WITH THE L.A.S. SYNDICATE'S RESULTS SO FAR. THE NEXT RACES FOR THE L.A.S.SYNDICATE WILL BE THE IRON EAGLE DERBY, THE MEGA CLASSIC, AND THE LATE HATCH CLASSIC. ONE CAN ONLY HOPE FOR THE BEST.
