Phenomenal first middle distance race of 2021

This weekend it was time for the first middle distance race of the season, Melun (310km). The release of the pigeons was postponed till Sunday because of the bad weather on Saturday. This meant that the birds had to stay two nights in the basket, so early in the season. On the way back home the birds had to deal with sidewinds from the Northwest. If you also bear in mind that the temperatures didn’t rise higher than 10-11°C, you know that the races were quite tough for the pigeons. We sent our racing hens to the Melun race and they flew an outstanding result on this race! We began with 1 and 2 against 1,670 pigeons and we had no less than 8 (!) pigeons in the top 11 of the result! Our racing cocks and some other hens we sent to the Noyon race (one night of basket) and also they flew very well!

Our pigeons won the following results :

Some interesting facts: 
- On the Melun race 38 of our 59 entered birds won a prize in the first 10% of the race! That’s almost 65% of our pigeons that won a prize in the first 10%.  Our total prize percentage was 93%.
- Our first arrival was a child of “Olympic Elektro”(PL0264-13-400), and our next ten (!) arrivals were grandchildren of “Mustang”(BE14-6175237), “Elektro”(BE08-6174630) or “Iron Man”(BE17-6025089). It is all in the family.

 

The first prize on the Melun race was won by the checkered hen  “Peony”(B18-6020131). She is a hen with a great track record. She has got the top genes from her parents who were both top performers : "Olympic Elektro"(PL0264-13-400) and "Bambi"(BE13-6026002). “Olympic Elektro”(PL0264-13-400) was crowned as best middle distance racer of the world at the Olympiad in Brussels a few years ago. Now this grandson to “Elektro”(BE08-6174630) is a fantastic breeder. “Bambi”(BE13-6026002) is a full sister to “Aladdin”(BE09-6248081), 1° fast. National Bourges (479km) against 64,621 pigeons, and was a sensation racer herself.
