The birds had to stay for three nights in the basket for the national Bourges (472km) race! The national winners were again in the eastern part of the country, but our birds fought themselves in the top of the result sheet. We are very happy about their performance! We started with 1° National z. Bourges (472km) 1,653 birds / 10° National Bourges (472km) 9,922 birds!

We had a great racing weekend again! The races were tough (again) with mostly headwinds and temperature that rose till 28°C. We had two races, the middle distance race Melun (310km) and the national race Argenton (552km). On both races our birds were dominant. In this article we will present you the first arrivals on the Melun (310km) race.

It was another weekend of headwinds for the birds … and another successful weekend for our loft! The weather in Belgium has been almost identical the last weeks. Strong headwinds and sunny weather. These are the perfect circumstances to select your birds. The only disadvantage is that some (good) birds crash because they flew so low above the ground. But that is an inevitable part of pigeon racing. Our birds showed again their qualities this weekend by winning a lot of top prizes.

The birds had to deal with very, very strong headwinds last weekend. These were weather circumstances for the strong birds, the ones with a V8 engine inside. The birds who would be early home on this kind of race have for sure a big potential. We sent our birds to the Sermaises (362km) race. We split our team in two and sent them to two federations. Our birds managed to win the first prize in both federations. We even had the fastest bird of the whole release against almost 7,000 birds! The speed was only 1,171 m/min. Remarkable: both our winners are coming from the same super breeding cock, “Puncher”(BE17-6025361). "Black Widow"(BE22-6020269) won 1° prize in Union Antwerpen against 2,257 birds and was the fastest of the whole release against almost 7,000 birds. "Blue Widow"(BE21-6138360) won the 1° prize in the South Antwerp Federation against 1,044 birds

Last time we told you that almost all our racers did not participate to the races last weekend. For some of them it meant that they had to go to the Sermaises (362km) race with only two 100km races as preparation. Far from perfect! The Sermaises race was a very tough one with strong headwinds and fog in the start. Our first prize winner “Blanca 2”(BE22-6020039) had an average speed of 1,188 m/min. Our birds were outstanding on their first middle distance race of the season!

The weather in Belgium has been not great lately. Therefore we started a bit later than other years. But now it was finally time to enter our birds on the Noyon (208km) race. We are very happy about the result! The weather circumstances were lovely with a bright sky and calm headwinds.

Past weekend the final race was flown in the famous Pattaya One Loft Race (Thailand). This is one of the most prestigious one loft races worldwide. The race started with over 9,000 birds!

It was a beautiful racing day last Saturday. The temperature rose to about 25 degrees and there was a strong head wind blowing from start till end. In the previous article you could read how our youngsters were outstanding on the Melun (310km) race. Here we will discuss the national Argenton (555km) race where we entered some old birds. It was a tough race for the birds so late on the season. This team has been raced on the widowhood system since April, so the season has been a long season for them. But also on this race they did it very well! We started with the 5° prize on the national level and had 8 birds in the national top 100.

Today was a beautiful racing day with strong headwinds from start to end. The average speeds were between 1,150 and 1,200 m/min. These circumstances are perfect for our birds to show their qualities. We sent our youngsters to the middle distance race Melun (310km) and a part of our old birds to the national Argenton (555km) race.

In the previous article you could already read about our top results on the national races Tulle (657km) and Bourges (485km). There was also a middle distance race, Nanteuil (259km). We sent our youngsters to this race, together with some old birds. It was a beautiful race where the first bird had an average velocity of 1,350 m/min. We were very happy about the result with the five fastest (!) birds in our federation against more than 1,700 birds including high prize percentages!

What a super racing day we had again yesterday! It was probably the most busy day of the racing season with three races, including two national races. The races were challenging but fair with average speeds around 1,300 and 1,350 m/min.

We had another very successful weekend at our loft. The weather circumstances were tough with mainly head winds. We entered birds on three different races and excelled on all of them. In this article we will present you our first arrivals on the La Souterraine (593km) race. The bird were already released on Friday. It was a tough race with average velocities below 1,180 m/min. We won the 1° and 2° National zone and many more top prizes! A special daughter of our top hen “Mustang Queen”(BE19-6016108) brough the national zone victory back to Vremde. She had an impressive lead of 10 minutes on the number two in the race, her own loftmate!

We had again a very successful weekend. We had three different races (Gueret 590km – Melun 310km and Noyon 208km) and were very dominant in all these flights. We won for instance the six first (!) prizes on Melun. We had good results on the short distance but also on the 600km races. We were successful with the old birds and yearlings but also with the youngsters. It is really a joy to have such a group of talented birds at our loft. No matter what race you have, our birds are in pole position. On Saturday the birds from Melun and Gueret had to cope with rather strong sidewinds. On Sunday the birds from Noyon had to return home with headwinds.

Last Saturday was a difficult racing day in Belgium. Extremely high temperatures and bad air quality had a slow return of the pigeons as a result. Even on the short distance races the birds had difficulties to return. We made the decision not to enter birds on the national Argenton (555km). Instead we kept our racing cocks at home and we sent our racing hens to the middle distance race Melun (310km).
