For the second week in a row, congratulations to Joel Sampang, this time for winning the 270-mile race. The ARPU 6081 blue check hen arrived at John’s loft 13 minutes ahead of Allen Strickland’s second place bird which arrived at Bob’s loft. Third place went to John Hays’ bird which arrived at John James loft nearly an hour after Sampang’s 6081 bird. Final Average Speed results can be seen here.

Fifteen Futurity birds were released Saturday morning at 8:30 under clear skies with little to no winds out of the east. Weather was good all the way home with winds from the east and south along the way.
The fifteen birds that raced are the birds that clocked last week plus the five that returned the next day. No other birds returned from the 200-mile race. However, two birds that had been missing from previous tosses returned yesterday and they stayed home. They are a John James bird and a John Hays bird.
