*War Drum is the grand sire of our 1st Fed ~2nd Combine winner this week (and we are only racing ONE grandchild !) and he is also the direct sire of our 12th Fed ~14th Combine (and we are only racing ONE direct child !) …There is no doubt that War Drum is the successor to his illustrious grandfather DRUM. In fact he will in all probability even surpass Drum’s breeding record given a few seasons, considering how very few children have been raced from him and even less grandchildren .  

He was breeding with the excellent Price Brothers and Son for his first five breeding seasons of his life paired to different hens and they only bred one round from him and sometimes maybe two rounds for racing. He has bred so far 14 Federation winners in the FIRST GENERATION from 1000 to 4,500 birds with countless other positions in the top 10, plus many top National and Classic performances.

Price Brothers and Son never raced grandchildren and only 3 or 4 direct children went out to friends lofts were all have bred winners immediately. This week we top our own Fed with a grandchild against over 1500 birds and we are only racing one youngster grandchild in our Dutch Team.

His strike rate it quite phenomenal and will only get better as the numbers of his progeny slowly increases.

 

The first Young bird race of the season took place from Asse Zellik on the 8th July 2017 , a distance of around 109 km to Nieuwendijk. We had a very good start to the Young Bird campaign. It was very tight at the top and we just missed 1st Combine by less than 1 second. In fact all three top Combine places were separated by less than 1 second.
