We should have started this message a new with a fresh hymn of praise for the super cock “Turbo Ito” (BE23-6062091), who claimed first prize from Noyon with great flair. If only he hadn’t — and I kept a close eye on the clock — circled around the loft for 2 minutes and 34 seconds. You can probably imagine just how calm (lol) my father and I remained at that moment. Now he ends up taking second prize, just behind his loftmate BE23-6062067. She is a daughter to “Golden Elektro”(BE19-6016058). “Turbo Ito” (BE23-6062091) is a hugely talented pigeon — but when it comes to trapping, it’s clearly his kryptonite. Entering the loft quickly has been his weak spot for weeks now. The week before, in Orléans, he also threw away a sure victory.

We had another excellent racing weekend!
Saturday’s Orléans race (404 km) proved to be a challenging one, with high temperatures and shifting winds testing the birds on their way home.
Sunday’s Noyon race (208 km) was faster. The pigeons had to return home with a tailwind from the west.
