After the Race Series what happens to the birds (3 options) – These are just ideas being kicked around, nothing in stone, yet.

2. If the Breeder chooses the bird maybe auctioned on I-Pigeon.
a. Breeder Supplies a Pedigree a 50/50 split breeder/club
b. No Pedigree the Club Retains 100%
c. If not sold Handler retains the bird

3. Breeder may choose for the bird to be raced in the BOW Yearling Series 300 – 400 – 500 miles
a. $100 entry fee
b. Club retains 10% to help cover expenses of longer races
c. If Breeder does not enter the bird, then the handler has the first option, then if the handler does not enter the bird anyone may pay the entry fee
