I had a call from Adrian Leach regarding his latest great performance winning the NNW Section from the recent MNFC Ancenis race by 40 y.p.m.  His winner is a super breeding cock ‘The Syndicate Cock’ that has produced remarkably well for him not only when paired to our own bloodlines but also the G.W & P Macaloney and Wall,Lunt and Green lines.

Adrian sent me a letter detailing some of ‘ The Syndicate Cocks ‘ offspring’s performances and I reproduce it here.

Absolutely top draw….

“Hello Peter

Please find attached a photograph of our treasured possession ‘The Syndicate Cock’ along with a few of the achievements won by this super family of birds that I have cultivated around this superb cock. I have not listed all of the performances linked to our number one breeder but the list keeps growing as the weeks go by, well over 100 positions have been chalked up with the progeny of this absolute super breeder the most recent being 1st NNW section from ANCENIS with the MNFC this win marks our 50th 1st in the past four seasons many of them carry the blood of this beautiful bird.
