This weekend two races were flown: Dourdan (366km) and Argenton (555km). The weather circumstances were really hard. Very hot weather – about 30°C - and wind on the head (east wind).
First Dourdan (366km). We entered 47 young birds. The result was really amazing. Our birds were entered in the strong federation Union Antwerpen ZAV.
Against 1,617 youngsters we won: 1, 2, 6, 8, 9, 11, 12, 21,... and 30 prizes from 47 entered birds.
What is even more remarkable? The bird that won the 1° prize is our first nominated bird, the bird that won the 2° prize is our second nominated bird! And also our third nominated was in the head of the race (8° prize).
And now the most impressive part of all. You have to know that so far two middle distance race for young birds have been flown. The bird that now won the 2° prize against 1,617 birds (beaten by a loftmate), was on the first middle distance race the 1° fastest provincial against 3,278 young birds! We have a real top bird here. It is the checkered hen “La Bomba”(B10-6052045). She is bred off “Simon”(B07-6221572) x “Sherryl”(B03-6287192). “Simon” is a full brother to “Porto”(B03-6287006) and “Mambo”(B08-6144041). “Sherryl” herself flew very well. Also on the breeding loft she already proven her value. She is mother and grandmother to a lot of top birds. The most famous one is probably “Vichy I”(B05-6234216).
The bird that won the 1° prize is B10-6052002. This blue white flight hen is a granddaughter to “Barco”(B01-6387350). She is a half-sister to “Picasso”(B07-6221319). She is also related to “Aladdin”(B09-6248081).

Our second bird was “La Bomba”(B10-6052045). For more information about this super hen, see above.

Our third bird was B10-6052046. He is the nest-brother to “La Bomba”(B10-6052045)! So these twins win the 2° and 6° prize against 1,617 pigeons!
Our fourth bird was B10-6052093. He was our third nominated. He is a full brother to superstar “Aladdin”(B09-6248081)! In this young bird team we have a brother and a sister to “Aladdin”. Also the sister to “Aladdin” was very early (our sixth bird)! They win the 8° and 11° prize against 1,617 pigeons! The parents of “Aladdin” have, despite their young age, already bred multiple good birds!
