2012 Lexington Futurity is shelved

The Lexington Racing Pigeon Club would like to thank all our friends and fellow flyers who participated in our past races.

At this time, we are not planning on having a 2012 Lexington Futurity. Check back in 2013 to see if we plan to re-instate the race.

We wish you the best in your 2012 races!

David Stephenson
President, Lexington Racing Pigeon Club

LRPC will be flying with the Blue Grass club in 2012

Active flying members of the Lexington Racing Pigeon Club will be flying and shipping with the Blue Grass Racing Pigeon Club out of Frankfort for both young bird and old bird seasons in 2012. Anyone with any questions should contact David Stephenson.

We will post a race schedule when it becomes firm. We expect old bird racing to begin in mid-April with two 100-mile races.

LRPC Futurity Auction

UPDATE: I would like to clarify a couple of things about this auction. Like last year, 100% of the proceeds go to the LRPC as a fundraiser. Breeders/owners do not get a portion of the proceeds. Breeders/owners must buy their own birds back if they want their birds. I apologize if that was not made clear prior to now. ~ David

The LRPC 2011 Futurity bird auction has begun. We are auctioning the six birds that clocked in all four races. The auctions will end Sunday night, Oct. 30 at 9 p.m.

This is your chance to buy some proven race birds that have shown they have what it takes to home consistently and from distances as far as 280 miles as young birds.

Please use the widget on the right side of this page to view the details on the birds and to place bids.

Please note that Proxy bidding may be in effect. You may place a maximum bid and the auction system will bid for you up to but not beyond that price. If you make a bid and are immediately outbid, then someone else has placed a proxy bid and the auction system is placing the bid for them.

Shipping via USPS is $50 for one bird, plus $10 extra per bird up to four birds. Local buyers can contact David Stephenson for payment and pickup options.

If you have a bird remaining in the loft, but it is not one of the auction birds, please contact me if you want it returned.

Good luck bidding everyone!

LRPC 100-mile and 150-mile races coming up

UPDATE: Weather has delayed the races another week. The dates below have been changed to reflect the current schedule.

For those who are interested, we will be flying a 100-mile OB race (Oneida) June 25. John will drive the race.

On the following weekend, July 2, we will fly a 150-mile race from a new race station: Crossville, Tn. David and Bob will drive this race.

We will meet to crate birds at John James’ house on Friday nights at 7pm. Each race will cost $20 per flyer. Juniors free.

If you think you may race or come to John’s, please let me know so we know to expect you.
