*The great ‘Blue Baron’ wins again…

After a one day holdover we had two races on Sunday 31st August.Both races went very well with many early prizes.

First race was the Natour race from St.Quentin and Blue Baron wins again! He is a real super. Earlier in the season he was lost from Creil in a catastrophic weekend for the whole of Northern Belgium and most of the Netherlands, however we had him back five days later, repaired him to his hen and prepared him for the Autumn races and he has raced exceptionally well.

St.Quentin Natour Race
Club 182 birds…1st,2nd,9th,10th,12th,13th,14th,16th,19th etc
Altena & Raamsdonksveer 1009 birds…4th,5th,15th,16th,22nd,23rd,24th,38th..

Brabant 2000 14,412 birds…98th,101st with 16 prizes from 22 entries. This result was most pleasing as a team performance despite a very unhelpful strong west wind.

First bird is NL11-3033847 Blue Baron winning again. This son of Super 8 is from the original Ganus / van der Wiejst bloodline being a grandson of the super racer ‘Joep’ crossed with the famous Ad Schaerlaeckens Mattens x Sissi bloodline. In fact ‘Joep’ himself was a grandson of Mattens and Sissi so it was the same bloodline on both side of his pedigree. ‘Joep’s results were 1st Provisional Tours 3757 birds ~ 2nd National NPO Tours 11,866 birds ~ 3rd National NPO Chantilly 13,203 birds ~ 10th National NPO Chateauroux 6,000 birds ~ 15th National NPO Orleans 11,601 birds ~ 9th St.Quentin 1916 birds ~ 10th St.Quentin 1952 birds and so on. He was a winner from 90 miles to 480 miles in any weather conditions. Now his descendants are winning the same today after almost 20 years through the Super 8 bloodline.

Second bird was NL12-1737082 from ‘Crack 7′ a son of ‘Super 8′ and winner of many prizes paired to a sister of ‘Creilman’ bred from Stormbird (Drum x Marita) x Seven 11 (Zidane x Agent Starling).

Third bird was NL14-3430179 a youngster scoring for the first time from Tempo (Direct Heremans Ceusters from De Jan x Sister Euro) paired to Anabelle another original from Leo Heremans being a daughter of his world famous ‘Safier Couple’.

Fourth bird was GB13J04604 another previous prize winner bred from Spartacus bred by Marijke Vink being a half brother to Domela winner of 1st Mariembourg 4331 birds and 1st Nat.NPO Bourges 8579 birds. Mother of GB13J04604 is Imogen a daughter of Hannibal our good breeding direct son of Kannibaal when he was coupled with Little Star a direct daughter of Di Caprio.
