Great end of the 2024 racing season

Last weekend the racing season 2024 ended for Sangers Pigeons. A hard edition of Chimay (269 km) with head winds and low velocities. For Sangers the last great selection moment. The young bird team did very well, in Rivierenland they did very well in the acebird competition:
1st acebird with NL24-8212941
2nd acebird with NL24-8212916
4th acebird with NL24-8212775

Sangers Pigeons were also 9th-10th-11th-14th acebird … see the pedigrees of the best acebirds added to this message …

Fastest Sangers pigeon on this heavy Chimay was NL24-9212966, winning 2nd prize against 1,421 birds (velocity 1161 mpm). He is direct from ‘Azzuro’, purchased at Leideman Brothers from their Nr. 1 pairing ‘Arturo’ x ‘Tila’ … crossed to the Sangers top racing hen ‘Silvie’

Sangers young bird team in top shape at the end of the season

The 2024 season is almost at the end; the last discipline is the late tour with 5 races between 170 km and 360 km. Sangers Pigeons send their young birds team to this discipline for experience and they show fine quality directly with very good results … like on Tienen (174 km) in Rivierenland South-East*:
1-2-4-9-14-18-22-23-27-28-etc. against 2,133 b.
1st prize: NL24-8212982 is from ‘Ardit’ (son ‘Banksy’ x ‘Angelina’) x dght. ‘Daniël’
2nd prize: NL24-8212775 is from ‘Banksy’ (‘Kittel’ x own mother) x ‘Inbred Dght. BKII’

After 3 races (from 5) the Sangers youngsters also dominate the acebird competition:1-3-5-6-8-11-12-etc.
Provisional 1st acebird: NL24-8212941 is grandchild of ‘Goldstream’ (‘Skittel’ x ‘Gold Dust’) and ‘Davina’ (‘Junior’ x ‘Sister Best Kittel II’)

* Rivierenland is the short/middle distance racing club of Combine 8 GOU
