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).

We had a record result on the middle distance race Melun (310km) last weekend! We had the kind of result that will be difficult to improve in the future. On their way home, the birds had to deal in France with moderate headwinds from the North. In Belgium the wind changed to strong sidewinds from the Northwest to Northnorthwest. In the category old birds + yearlings we won the 7 first (!) prize against 1,160 old birds. In the category yearlings we won the 13 (!) first prizes against 670 birds. On top of that we had also had the fastest bird of the whole release against +7,000 birds with a lead of three minutes on the second bird. Our prize percentage was also breathtaking, no less than 57 of our 59 entered birds won a prize. What a race this was for us!

It was Super Saturday at the Vercammen loft yesterday. We had outstanding results, on our two races Melun (310km) and Bourges (479km).

Past weekend we sent our birds to the Sermaises (362km) race. The birds had to stay two nights in the basket. The first half of the race the birds had to deal with head winds, the second half the wind direction changed and there was a tail wind for the pigeons. We started with the 1° prize against 1,838 birds!

Last weekend our birds flew the first middle distance race of the season, Melun (310km). The start of the middle distance season is always exciting. We are very confident about the quality of our racing team. But you always have to wait and see how the birds will perform, how their condition is with the national races being around the corner. Our birds performed very well on this Melun race. We are looking with great anticipation to their performances of the coming weeks and months.

Our top hen BE20-6166100 started the 2022 racing season as she ended the season before, in style! Today she won on her first race of the season 1° Quievrain (104km) against 413 birds, with an impressive lead on the number two in the race. It was a beautiful race with strong headwinds.

The Vercammen birds have already proven many times to be not only successful on the classic races but also on the One Loft Races. This time the exceptional performance was to be found in in the Algarve Great Derby One Loft Race (Portugal).
