"Apollo Elektro"(BE24-6087071) shines again on Noyon race

The difference between a regional victory and a minor placing often comes down to mere seconds. Last weekend's race from Noyon (208km) provided a textbook example of just how crucial a lightning-fast trap entry is when the speeds are exceptionally high. In a heart-stopping finish, three of our birds stormed through the skies and dropped down onto the sputnik simultaneously—yet the clocking order ultimately decided the final prizes.

Our first nominated superstar, "Apollo Elektro" (BE24-6087071), was among the tight trio but ended up registering as our second bird—just one single second behind our first clocked bird. This razor-thin margin proves once again that on fast short-distance flights, the race isn’t over until the bird steps across the antenna.

Despite the split-second differences at the trap, the final official result against 1,023 birds is an absolute dream: - - ! To top it off, this spectacular joint sprint secured us the 1° prize in the yearling category against 642 birds.

This talented checkered cock is a direct son of "Super 100" (BE20-6166100), making him a grandson to one of our absolute foundation pillars, "Iron Man" (BE17-6025089). BE25-6032100 is proving to be incredibly consistent; he has flown five official races so far this season and has finished right at the front every single time.

Completing our top-10 trio is this beautiful blue hen. Top-tier racing genetics clearly run deep in her bloodlines, as she is a half-sister to both "Maété 2" (1° National Bourges winner) and "Black Elektro" (2° National Bourges winner).
