News:  This page will be updated weekly during racing season.  Please come back every week to see how the birds are doing in the One Loft Races throughout the country and what families are working best.  Also news from Europe will be posted occasionally.

The Winner of the Dutch Open Race in Holland is a 100% Ad Schaerlaeckens bird.  Rene van der Zande bought the parents of the winner from Ad S.

The final race of the Spirit of Colorado was not a regular race.  36 from the 275 birds released returned on the day.  There was big overcast at the release point and the K index was 3-3.5, which is high.

AU-07-Dallas-2624 came in 18^th, which was sufficient for her to win 1^st High Point Bird.  Her Sire is from the MAGIC line, 04-Belg-626.  Her dam is 02-Belg-254, a granddaughter of Mattens & Sissi.  Do not forget that Mattens was only good at Ad Schaerlaeckens loft when he was mated to Sissi and NONE of his babies with other hens were any good racers or breeders!

I would have liked for more birds to have returned on the day, but what can you do, this is pigeon racing…

The next races are in October: Gold Cup Classic, Mercedes Classic, and Texas Gusher. Stay tuned…..

Spirit of Colorado Race, 206 miles. There were 22 birds on the drop, 2-5 miles head winds. This is another great result.  The FINAL race is in two weeks, September 2, 300 miles!

            High Point ranking after 2 races, 6 birds in the top 12 positions, is simply AMAZING:

2^nd 2624,         3^rd 2628,         4^th 2613,          5^th 2621,          8^th 2605,         12^th 2602

The first race of the year with 2007 banded birds starts great.  Spirit of Colorado 150 miles, 295 birds in the race.  This is my best result in a one loft futurity race ever!!!                                                                                                                                               I got 2, 5, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 /295. That means 47% of the birds in top 5% were bred by me and 7/11, 64% of my birds were in the top 5%!  Again the Formula is the “MAGIC” line crossed with Ad Schaerlaecken’s birds, it simply works!

14^th      2625;   SIRE: 04-Belg-626, Magic line. DAM: 02-Belg-254, granddaughter of Mattens & Sissi, Ad S..

In the 110 miles training toss at Spirit of Colorado race the birds performed great. They were 3, 6, 7, 12, 13, 21, 28 / 306 birds, 7/ 12 in the top, 58% of the birds in the top 9%.

2624, 2610, 2625, 2605, 2628, 2621, 2613 respectively… 

  I was very satisfied with the performance of the birds in the One Loft Races in 2006 and the first month of 2007.  I got unlucky 2 times where I should have won 1 Champion Bird & 1^st Average Speed had the birds returned home in the final race.  One bird came home after 6 weeks and the other has not made it back yet…

  Late breds from 2007 can be ordered now so that you can have birds from the “Proven Pairs”.  There will be only one round available for sale from each Pair. Contact for pricing and availability.

Also some late breds from 2006 are still available and it is not too late to add 1-2 special birds for the breeding season.

2^nd Point Bird with AU-06-TEXAS-3540. 

If Average Speed was used to calculate the Best Bird, this bird would have won 1^st Place .  The point system is not the correct system to use to determine the Best Bird because it does not take time into consideration.  If a bird comes 5 hours later it will get 1 point less than the previous bird.  3540 did the 648 miles 11 minutes and 55 seconds faster that the bird that won 1^st Point Bird!!!  Which is the better bird, I will let you decide…
