Peter Fox, Lucy Fox and ‘The Wincham Wizard’ plus dog and ponies…

We had a visit from Derek Woodward ‘The Wincham Wizard’ on Tuesday. Derek and his good lady Marjorie are flying better than ever this season and I am certain a large part is due to their total enthusiasm for the sport.

Derek has a great breeding couple that have bred more than 60  first prize winners into the third generation.

The cock of the couple is a cock we bred from the Golden Gaby before he was sold to Myrtle Lofts where he has gone on to create a world class breeding record. The hen of Derek’s couple is from our Favorite Son paired to a daughter of Johan Van Boxmeers 1st and 2nd National winner ‘Kliko’ a son of his renowned ‘Conimix Couple’…

The great news for Derek is he has discovered another great breeding couple that are a full brother and sister mating direct from his original couple, so many years of success ahead I hope.

Derek has also developed a taste for grizzles as can be seen in the photo…
