G M Preece & Son – the marathon racers from UK…


Our main goal each season is to all seven participate in international races and gain an international rank fly away. This is made even more difficult for breeders in Great Britain, since there is naturally a lake crossing at the end of each flight to cope with. In the travel year 2020 we still achieved the highest international points of all participating strokes UK and also placed the 2nd international ace pigeon in Great Britain.

In the run-up to the international races, the animals fly from the loft for at least an hour a day and fly as far as possible from France. We use a lot of iodoferrol (rich in iron) throughout the season to keep the pigeons full of energy.

The OLR Marseille (926 km) finished the only two skilful ones Birds despite headwind and rain during the flight as 3rd and 5th And thus clearly set themselves against the competition from Great Britain through. The third place scored for us in the international results as 1,896. from 8,253 pigeons with the same time as birds, which had started four hours earlier and 250 km less flight distance put back. The bird that achieved this result achieved his Finished after crossing the English Channel in strong winds and rain. He is one of our best pigeons and a grandson of Bernd Morsnowskis "De Blauwe 212" (1st National Olympics Marathon 2013).

Throughout the racing season we always make sure that the Pigeons fresh grit and other minerals are available. we use for our racing birds mainly the carbon grit stone and for the youngsters in breeding and weaning the Klaus Extra Gritstein.

St Vincent (858 km) - The wind was good but the rain in central France meant that only 5% of the 6,073 pigeons made it to France and Belgium that day. We were very happy to see that our first nominated pigeon arrived early this morning. Her feathers were still damp from heavy rains. She flew the 4th national and 194th international hen with 1,337 points and 1,057. international with 6,073 points. Her father is a direct Bernd Morsnowski line and a grandson of Bonte Barcelona (Hans Knetsch, 11th nat. Barcelona 7,043 points and 30th international in Barcelona with 23,708 points with the line of Doffertje 244 (A. Simons)).

The mother is a direct Stoffel-Gr. Ophoff inbreeding of the 270 (1. Golden Barcelona 1987), which flies 1202 km (746 miles). The mother also contains an inbred line from "Godin", one of the best Performance pigeons from Stoffel, 3 x Barcelona, ​​3x Perpignan. "Godin" is also in the family tree of our "Jack Jones" bird and in the family trees of Find Bernd Morsnowski and other top continental one loft races.

The same cross (Morsnowski x Stoffel) has produced some of our top performing pigeons, including "Sunny Jim", 2nd international Ace Pigeon 2020 (UK) and 1st national Perpignan 2019.

Rieux-Minervois (880 km) - Despite the extreme heat this weekend with temperatures of up to 40 ° Celsius, we confidently sent pigeons that we were convinced were particularly well prepared. Also this time we reached the 4th national with a bird that was bred from our champion "Wiggins".

After such intense heat on a flight, we use Tricom electrolyte to replenish the pigeon's fluid balance. We are convinced that this helps the pigeon to regenerate particularly quickly after a strenuous flight.
