Widowhood cocks

When training w/hood cocks, how often do you let them see the hen. Every time you let them out the basket or just on a Friday before marking. Thanks
Are we talking about a team of sprinters here Jim?
If its sprinting, then pre-season my yearlings and old cocks would see the hen every single time
You can't teach them something unless you reward them.
They need to know basket = hen
My yearlings were winning 1st against 5,000+ birds in April and they'd go through the eye of the needle
Once you get racing into the season then its not as important - they should know the game by then
