The pigeons of Bart and Nance did an excellent job in the race from Montluçon on 23rd June, not only with a provincial win, but with a series of top results from their pigeons. 40 pigeons were entered for the race and a total of seventeen pigeons were eventually clocked, well within the top 100 provincial. That is something! Take a look at their impressive results from Montluçon:
23/6 Montlucon Prov 2,222 yearlings: 1-3-10-13-14-15-19-20-21-31-53-54-66-128-135-162-173-195-201-202… (29/34p.) 23/6 Montlucon Prov 1,253 old birds: 2-4-23-86-300-341 (6/6p.)
It was the superior yearling Dries who took the win from Montluçon. This is a top class athlete bred from a crossing of Gaston Van De Wouwer x Meulemans. His father is Jerome van Gaston BE09-6111725, which stems directly from Berlaar (another member of the renowned Kaasboer line, the successful line of Gaston van De Wouwer) x Hildegard BE09-6350464… you can take a look at the full pedigree here. We give you a resume of the list of achievements of Dries BE11-6126071:
1st Prov Montlucon 2,222 p. in ’12 2nd Prov Chateauroux 2,478 p. in ’12 4th Intprov Blois 5,000 p. in ’11 (1° local 190 p.) 13th Prov Gueret 2,222 p.in ’11 enz…
So the pigeon that managed to win a 1st provincial from Montluçon is a pigeon to remember. The overall performance of the entire loft indicates that the team of Van Oeckel is in excellent form. This is evident in their exceptional achievement from Montluçon. We wonder if they will be as strong in the classic from Argenton next weekend.
