We will first discuss the Melun (310km) race. Due to the bad weather on Saturday, the birds were only released on Sunday. This means the birds had to stay in the basket during two nights. It was quite a hard race. At the end of the day different fanciers were still missing some pigeons. Luckily our complete racing team was at home the same day.
Our pigeons won the following result:

The second race that we will discuss in this news item is the very first official race of our youngsters. They were entered on Noyon (208km). It was not the most easy race. The first pigeon made a velocity of 1,362 mpm. The race was open for about 30 minutes (1/3 of the entered wins a prize).
Our pigeons won the following result:
19/06/2016 Noyon (208km)
BAB 278 youngsters 1-5-6-7-12-15-16-17-25-27-… 22/55
Our first pigeon kept flying around the loft for no less than 3 minutes! We thought he would have lost for sure the 1° prize, but afterwards it turned out that he still had 2 minutes lead before the number two. This means that – if he entered the loft in a normal way – he would have won the first prize with 5 minutes lead … and this on a race of 208km!
Our first arrival was the checkered cock B16-6032012. He wins the 1° prize. This beautiful bird is one of our big favourites and is a direct son to our breeding phenomenon “Elektro”(B08-6174630) and “Delphine”(B11-6282004). He is a full brother to “Samsung”(B15-6026082) who is mentioned above. “Samsung” won last year 1° fast. Souppes (357km) 9,294 pigeons!
