After a difficult week due to my father's unexpected heart surgery, our pigeons achieved an excellent result at Noyon (208 km). It was a beautiful race with a light headwind. I took care of the pigeons alone for a week without being able to rely on my father as a sounding board, so the race felt twice as exciting.

The national racing season is nearing its end, with next week marking the final race of the year from Chateauroux (526 km). Last week, we made a selection in our young birds' team. Those who had already secured their place in next year’s racing team stayed home, while the others were sent to the middle-distance race in Melun (2 nights in the basket – 310 km). Saturday offered perfect racing conditions, with beautiful weather and moderate headwinds.

Headwinds? Hot weather? Tough circumstances? We were praying for these circumstances for quite a while. Finally, the day arrived when we got the challenging conditions we had been waiting for. With the headwinds pushing the birds to their limits, the hot weather testing their endurance, and the tough circumstances demanding every ounce of our skill and determination, we knew this was our moment to shine. And the result was even better than we had hoped. Have a look at the fantastic performance of our team. Note: For many of the yearlings, it was their first national race of the season—and for some, their very first national race ever."

We have some talented birds in our young birds team. Last weekend they won 1° + 2° + 3° prize on the Noyon (208km) race against 895 youngsters!

Saying that it has been one of the most difficult seasons of the last years is like kicking at an open door. Bad weather, crazy tailwinds … it has been quite frustrating at certain times. But the season continues and you need to seize every possible opportunity. Yesterday was such an opportunity. It was real pigeon weather with moderate head winds and a sunny sky. After a break with only short distance races for most of our racers, we sent them to the middle distance race Melun (310km). Will this break have been the good choice on the long term? We will make the conclusion after the season. This race was for sure a very good start!

The national Argenton (552km) race was again a very fast one with the strong winds from the West to Southwest. We had (too) many of this races this year unfortunately. Followers of our family of birds know that our birds excel on the tougher races. But also on this fast Argenton race our birds defended their honor by winning no less than 12 (!) national top 100 positions. We started with the 13° and 14° National prize.

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.
