The Vercammen train is running

After the late start of the season because of the global corona problems, the racing birds in Belgium had their second official race of the year last Saturday. Where we won 1° Melun (310km) against 2,759 pigeons in the first official race but the team result could be better, our racing team stepped up their game in the second race weekend. They are getting closer and closer to their best form. This is the perfect timing with the national races around the corner. This weekend we entered birds on the middle distance race Sermaises (362km) and the semi-national race Vierzon (476km). Our birds did a very good job.

Our pigeons won the following results :

Let’s start with presenting you the first arrivals from the Sermaises (362km) race. Arrival number one was the beautiful blue hen B18-6020322. In 2019 she was the youngest yearling of our racing team. She lacked the necessary experience in the start of that season but in the second part she showed her potential by winning some early prizes with amongst others a top position on the national Bourges (479km) race. B18-6020322 is a direct daughter to “Super Salgo”(B14-6312114). “Super Salgo”(B14-6312114- is an inbreeding son to “Salgo”(B07-6221050) and has already bred several early prize winners. His off springs are especially suitable for the tougher races. The mother of B18-6020322 is “Panter Princess”(B15-6026361) who is a daughter to “Dina”(B08-6144028), 8° National Limoges (640km) 16,893 pigeons. “Panter Princess”(B15-6026361) is a half-sister to “Jonge Panter”(B09-6248211), 2° fast. National Bourges (479km) 64,621 pigeons after loftmate “Aladdin”(B09-6248081).



B18-6020322 won 2° Sermaises (362km) 3,125 pigeons

 

Our second arrival was the checkered cock B19-6016335. His mother is a direct daughter to “Elektro”(B08-6174630). His father is B16-6032120, a former long distance racer at our loft. We moved him after the season 2018 to the breeding loft and this move has already paid off. B16-6032120  is from the “Barco”(B01-6387350) and “Elektro”(B08-6174630) family. The yearling cock B19-6016335 has only flown four races as a youngster. We had a good eye on him, that is why we gave him a chance in our racing team. On the 100km training races with the club in the corona times, he was also to be found in the head of the bunch. The future looks bright for him.  We are curious how he will continue racing in the coming weeks and months. 



Talented yearling B19-6016335 won 4° Sermaises (362km) 3,125 pigeons

 

Arrival number three was the beautiful checkered white flight hen B19-6016093. She is a daughter to our famous pigeon “Samsung”(B15-6026082) and a granddaughter to “Elektro”(B08-6174630). B19-6016093 has already won some early prizes as a youngster.  It would not surprise us if she would win a national top position in the next weeks.

Our fourth arrival was the checkered hen B18-6020126. She is a direct daughter to “Elektro Jr.”(B16-6032012), 5th National Ace-pigeon KBDB, and to “Lilly”(B15-6026002), 1° National z.
