2011 WORLD OF WINGS TRIPLE CROWN

Latest Update 8/17/2011

Oklahoma will set an all time record this week for over 50 days 100 degrees and above. It has been a brutal summer for us this year. The birds are loft flying every day but not as good as we like to see because of the heat. It has also slowed the molting process on some of the younger birds making it more difficult to get them up and flying. We do not want to force the birds by flagging in this heat but we will begin flagging shortly . We have been patient with them during this stressful period. Once we flag the birds and are seeing wing time of an hour or more from the majority of the birds we will then start road training and not look back. The activation toss will be 75-100 miles and once that is complete you will need to send in your entry fees ASAP so we can post a payout before the first race. If your bird is lost after the activation toss before it fly's the first race your entry fee will be refunded. If you wish to send it in prior to the activation toss that is fine and you will be refunded the entry fee for any of your birds that do not go to the first race. We are behind where we want to be in training but it could not be helped with this heat we have had all summer. We hope to start soon! The birds look good and health has been outstanding during this heat wave with very few losses. We plan to hand catch every bird this week and spray each bird and look them over closely and get an inventory update. That is it for now and we wish all of you the best of luck in the race series this year! Thank you all for your support.
