Late breds are very hit and miss but I had a nest pair 2 years ago. Not trained at all before being raced. The hen was my first bird from both of the 2 longest old bird races last year. The cock had a couple of races last year and is in my widowhood team this year.

Thing is we need them to win regular and straight away as yearlings in sprinting and be in the early birds in the fed I just don’t think they are worth it
I can breed enough homers early in the year without the hassle of late breds

I agree they are not much use in a sprinting loft. when I raced I can't remember a good one for me sprinting. I did however have one win 1st at 500 miles that was a late bred one year.

Agree king
May bred raced young are fine to race the yb program and score but once you get to the age you can’t race them that year there not much use if you race against a decent level of fancier on the sprints
