Hi Rod,

Good race yesterday from Wee Waa which is 370klms to our loft.

We have  again trapped a little yearling hen LM 9903 who was in the clock 2 weeks ago to win the club , combine and run 2^nd fed- she is a granddaughter of your cock Top Shelf  being out of a hen fast becoming a real important stock pigeon – LM 15

 9903 has again won 1^st club, 1^st combine ( by over 50 m/ min) and 2^nd fed  this week flying a velocity of 1254 m/ min

There were two clocks in the fed almost 50m, or over 12 mins in front of third place so this was an amazing effort by a pigeon having only its 4^th start.

This little hen was also equal trap with her full sister LM 9913 in her first start when amazingly the result was 1^st club, 1^st combine and 2^nd fed so she is already effectively a triple Lake Macquarie Combine winner..............

Our 2^nd  in today’s race finished 4^th fed this week but was  14 mins behind the first 2 birds however still a great effort by another yearling hen having only her third race start

On a side note-

Another sister out of the same pair that bred LM 9903, a little hen rung  LM 1603 today finished 12^th in the Hunter Classic $10,000  2^nd lead up race from around 200klms against over 300 birds landing in the 3^rd little kit by the looks of the times.  She was also in the top 35 from the first lead up race so she is going ok.

Cheers Mate,

Richard and Mal

Rod, 

Saturday was another race from Boggabri which is around 295klms to our loft.

We have flown a velocity of 1421m/min trapping a 2yo hen LM 17 1826 ( her second time in the clock this year).

This hen is a full sister to this years quadruple combine winner ( LM 17 1816). She is a direct daughter of the Alwin Petrie hen, Maid Marion when paired to 695- the son of Top Shelf, Heremans x Alwin Petrie.

Saturday she has taken out 1st club, 1st Lake Macquarie Combine and 4^th overall Newcastle/ Coalfields federation against almost 1200 pigeons.

We jump to Wee Waa now which is approx. 370klms so looking forward to the step into the mid distance racing leg of the season .

Cheers Richard and Mal

Racing from Wycheproof, 254 km and 3,996 birds, Jack Hao placed 1^st Club, 1^st Diamond Valley Centre and 14^th Overall in a race with strong north winds helping the deeper VHA flyers.

His young Blue Bar cock VHA18-14119 is by Mighty Robin out of our imports ROBIN (Alwin Petrie) x MIGHTY HEN (G & C Koopman). The mother of 18-14119 is Lan Se Gaby, out of our Gaby Vandenabeele imports DREAMING x GABY’S GIRL. 

The result is enormous encouragement for Jack, as only a few months ago he had a fox get into his loft, killing 55 out of the100 race pigeons.

The 1^st pigeon was a Blue Chequer cock VPU17-3392, velocity1, 557.47 mpm and 1,145 birds. The father is SON OF SANTANA from National Joy (NATIONAL EURO, Heremans) x (JOY, Eijerkamp) and Daughter Santana (SANTANA x DAUGHTER SANNE, Alwin Petrie). This cock was paired to a Van Loon hen.

This is Dan’s second year of racing and although due to working long hours, he is able to race at a high level. He is also very happy with the quality of his breeders purchased from Winners1.

Hi Rod,

Raced from Breeza which is 230klms on the weekend and had  good results with both clocks running first and second in the Lake Macquarie combine and 3^rd and 4^th in the NCF federation.

We trapped LM 17 -1816 again- this is this hens last start and she has now been stocked. She has been clocked 4 times this year for 4 club wins ( against approx. 120 birds each race) , 4 combine wins ( against approx. 500 birds each race) and 4 fed places all in the top 3 that included 1^st, 2^nd, 2^nd and 3^rd NCF Federation against averages of approx. 950 – 1300 birds.

She is out of Maid Marion and 695 ( a son of Top shelf)

We had 2 together on the weekend with the second pigeon across the pad being a yearling NCF18 243 and she is out of ncf 16 0015 who is a daughter of top shelf. I only took 6 out of 15 and 3 have now been in the clock and all have been in top 4 in federation results.

Cheers Richard and Mal

Winners1 was asked last Saturday to convoy the race pigeons for the Tasmania Northern Clubs Federation race. Arriving at 6.30am in the dark, a last minute decision was to use my phone and record the release.

Congratulation to Alex for an excellent result in today’s race. His Blue Bar hen WPF18-4034 is breed from 2 pigeons Alex purchased from Winners1. The father of 4034 is ROYAL and a full brother to a fed winner and fed placed birds. The father of Royal is BLUE BLOOD a mix of Alwin Petrie, Marco. K. Falckenborg and our best Goodgers. The mother of Royal is TRUE BLUE; her breeding is Van Loon, Alwin Petrie and G.S Verkerk. More evidence to dispel the old argument that crosses can’t breed winners.

The mother of 4034 is DAUGHTER CHAMPION; she is one of the first pigeon Alex purchased when starting out in racing pigeons. Daughter Champion has also produced 1.club, 2^nd Federation from Deniliquin 256km and 2,628 birds. Her breeding is Marco. K. Falckenborg and the same Goodgers lines.
