A report on the British International Championship Club race from Alencon on 13th May 2018

These are the top performances from The Netherlands in the weekend of 19/05/2018 and 20/05/2018.

Croatia may not be that known in worldwide pigeon racing but it does hold a couple of one loft races. Recently, Mr Tihomir Lekić from Team Lexman fulfilled one of his dreams by launching his own Derby Zagreb. A tough one loft race in one of Europe's favourite holiday destinations, organised by an ace fancier with a boundless love for pigeons.

The number of breeding references from Queen L is quite impressive to say the least: she has bred countless national ace pigeons and national winners. On top of that, New Queen L became 1st Nat. Ace Pigeon KBDB Longer Middle Distance YBs, which means the team of Jelle Roziers-Xiang has a worthy successor in its ranks.

Last weekend the Bogemans brothers claimed a 1st prize from Melun of 4,902 old birds with a pigeon inbred to Jelle Roziers's stock breeder Queen L. Last year the Bogemans brothers claimed a 13th Nat. Ace Pigeon KBDB, again with a Queen L inbred.

The level of dominance from Marcel and Brian Sangers in Niergnies (306km) was nothing short of impressive.They claimed a double first prize in a strong headwind and with an additional 40km to cover, while also having 6 pigeons in the top 8 of more than 7,000 competitors. Their racing birds are quite special indeed. Racing hen Niki (a direct Flanders Collection and a 100% Van den Bulck) even took a 3 minute lead over the main pack!

Cor Romein and Frank Klein have already won some impressive results in the early 2018 season. They claimed the entire top three in the middle distance race from Pontoise on 5th of May of 10,995 pigeons (and 2nd fastest of 39,187 birds). On top of that, they won a 1st prize from Peronne of 4,613 pigeons a week earlier.

Jo Bouters gets remarkable results time and time again with the descendants of his super class breeder Fabian. Jo won the title of 1st National Ace Pigeon YBs longer middle distance KBDB with the outstanding Elli in 2016, followed by a title of 5th National Ace Pigeon longer middle distance KBDB in 2017. Or two more national top results with descendants of Fabian.

Getting great results for years on end could not be done without a high quality pigeon breed that includes one or more highly talented stock breeders. The team of Gevaert-Lannoo built a highly successful bloodline around breeding hen Chateauke and her daughter Kaafke. King Gaby emerged as their new stock breeder, providing them with numerous ace pigeons and race winners.

These are the top performances from The Netherlands in the weekend of 12/05/2018 and 13/05/2018.
