The winner was the person who made the best guess of how much time it will take for the fastest pigeon to get home to Burton Lazars from Blandford, Dorset, a distance of 139 miles.  A pigeon can fly 30-35 mph with a good head of wind and up to 60 mph with a tail wind. 

The pigeons are owned and will be raced by Alistair Ewart of Burton Lazars who is a member of the Royal Pigeon Racing Association, which has been going since 1896.
