Just two days later on Saturday, we competed in Race 8 of the Marismas Masters, a challenging 364 km flight with a strong headwind. Once again, our pigeons showed their quality, securing an impressive 2. place in this tough race. This pigeon NL24-8208322NL24-8208322 is a full sister to the pigeon we came back home second in Egypt! Thanks to this result, we are now ranked #1 in the Master Fancier classification after eight out of 10 races! These two super performing pigeons are children from Romario 330 DV-02241-22-330 (grandson Son Romario 199) and Lady Hope"Lady Hope". Son Romario 199"Son Romario 199" is a direct Son of OLR Breeding legend ‘Romario’ from Simon Wolf, you can see him in below YouTube video. We have successfully combined the famous Romario pigeons with top Eijerkamp bloodlines, producing outstanding OLR racers worldwide. The Simon Wolf pigeons, including the exceptional Thomas 1 line, bred with the Eijerkamp pigeons, continue to achieve top results in major races!
Motivation is high, and we’re looking forward to the next races!
