This is Blue Checker Cock GB14V39555 winner of 1st Club and probable winner of 1st Eryri Federation,1st North Section Welsh South East Combine & 2nd North Section Welsh South East National from Kinzweiler a distance of 470 miles recording a speed of 938 yards per minute.
This gallant cock was clocked flying almost 15 hours on the wing to be the only bird in the Federation on the day.
He is bred from Crazy Horse a direct Cor de Heijde cock when paired to a daughter of our outstanding long distance breeding cock Waalre. A full sister to GB14V39555 won 1st Maidstone against 175 birds last year as a yearling with a really testing 1115 ypm and a very early North Section prize, and of course another grand daughter of Waalre won 1st North Section Ypres 2 WSENFC a few weeks ago in another very tough race.

Nice to see the distance lines working for you Peter,dont know if you saw it but I was 2nd section 14th open provisionally BBC fougeres with a g/son of the “Good Pair”
Hi Fred, Thanks for the message. The distance lines are coming well however the losses this year are also disappointing. Same for everyone though!
Yes I did read in the BHW about your result from Fourgeres. Your ‘Good Pair’ again…what a couple!
Best of Luck,
Peter
