We entered our old bird team across two federations, and they delivered an absolute masterclass:
Race Results | 08/08/2026 – Melun (310km)
Union Antwerpen (330 old birds):
1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 8 - 9 - 10 - 11 - 12 - 13 - 14... (22/32 prizes won, 68%)
Centraal Hafospel (244 old birds):
1 - 3 - 5 - 14 (4/4 prizes won, 100%!)
Provincial Domination & Overall Speed
On top of these federation sweeps, our team dominated the provincial leaderboard by claiming 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th Fastest Provincial against 822 old birds!
At this late stage of the season, young birds are traditionally faster than the old bird team on middle-distance releases. However, our old birds proved to be in an exceptional class of their own, taking 5th, 10th, 23rd, and 29th fastest overall against the entire release of 8,002 pigeons (old birds and youngsters combined)!
Star Performance: “Mustang Gold” (BE25-6032131)
The fastest old bird of the entire release was our 1st nominated hen, “Mustang Gold” (BE25-6032131)!
Star racer "Mustang Gold"(BE25-6032131)
This outstanding racer—a granddaughter of our foundation star “Mustang” (BE14-6175237) and half-sister to “Mustang Queen” (BE19-6016108)—claimed her 4th middle-distance victory of the 2026 season alone!
Top performances of “Mustang Gold” (BE25-6032131) in 2026 (no double results):
1° Fastest Provincial Melun (310km) – 822 p. (1 / 330 p.)
