My uncle dose, he has about 200 of them and takes part in professional events. He has won many times, I personally do not find it interesting because it involves feeding the birds, lots of cleaning up, very time consuming.
Pigeon racing bagan life I gather as lots of working mans "sports" through keeping animals as pets and then developed from there. Similarly dog racing developed from ownsers testing there own pet against their neighbours. This was also the origins of horse racing. Pigeon racing has become quite sofisticated, to try and eliminate cheeting etc with racing rings placed on the bird, which is used in the racing clock when the bird returns to log the time it took the pigeon to cover the distance from release to its loft. Calculations are then made between birds of different l;ofts to see whose bird has won. Birds have been sold for reasonably large sume(for pigeons that is), and quite a few birds(according to the stories) have been shot down asa they would not come down of their own accord.
Pigeon racing? I am having a tough time trying to picture it in my mind. I wonder how its like...
A site says that it is the second most popular sport in Portugal. 
Pigeon racing was popular in ancient times.I think time when pigeon was used as a postman,during kingdoms.Now i dont think anyone is interested in that race because of different animal rescue organizations. 
so, how does pigeon racing work? do you just throw a few birds out of a cage? and how exactly do you know who's won. this sounds pretty cool, regardless
The pigeons used in this sport receive special vitamins and have even pedigree!

This sounds very interesting 
I couldn't realize that these things happen in real world too Maybe animal activist will be against pidgeon races in most of western countries, or so I guess.
