The race from Vierzon (476km) was postponed till Sunday. The birds had to stay therefore three days in the basket. We entered our long distance team on this race. They did a very good job by winning the following result:

Her father is a full brother to “Brazil”(B12-6196060) and a half-brother to “Zorro”(B15-6026003), 3rd National Ace-pigeon KBDB Middle Distance. The hen B14-6175171 is a very talented pigeon.

Our second arrival was the blue white flight cock B14-6175297. He is also a part of our long distance team. Last year he won for instance the 4° prize from Brive (704km) and a national zone top 40 position on the catastrophic national race from Chateauroux (526km). He is a grandson to our famous breeders “Elektro”(B08-6174630) and “Mambo”(B08-6144041).
Our third arrival was our blue cock B14-6175010. He is a very special bird. He is a the same time our most favourite and most annoying bird. When we release our widowers for a training around the loft, he easily flies 30 to 60 minutes longer than the other birds. As a youngster he was very early from a short distance race, he should have won with a few minutes lead the first prize. Instead, he just sat a few minutes outside, just because he wanted to (for the record: he won eventually the 3° prize against 1,139 pigeons). He is never tired after the race, even after a tough 700km race, he always looks the same. We will see how he will perform this year on the national races, but he is for sure a very special bird! He is by the way a half-brother to “Aladdin”(B09-6248081), 1° fast. National Bourges (479km) 64,621 pigeons.
The blue cock B14-6175010 is one of our most favourite pigeons
Next week there will be two semi-long distance races: Chalon-sur-Saône (484km) and Blois (462km). At first sight it seems strange to organise these two races on the same day. Chalon-sur-Saône is located in the East of France. It is a preparation race for the national flights of the Rhone valley (eastern direction). Blois is located in the middle of France and is in the flight line of the traditional national races.
