Excellent Results for Eijerkamp at AviRings Derby Pro 2026 14. Master Fancier and 16. Ace Pigeon 3x500 cup
We are pleased with our results at the AviRings Derby Pro 2026. This past weekend, the final race of the competition was held, bringing an exciting One Loft Race to a close.
With 156 participants and taking part in the overall competition, our team achieved an excellent 14th place in the Master Fancier classification with Team Hans and Evert-Jan Eijerkamp.
We entered 10 pigeons in the competition, in total entered 3,025 pigeons and the pigeon that performed best for our team was NL26-8475389NL26-8475389. This talented youngster finished an impressive 16th Ace Pigeon in the 3x500 Cup.
His best results throughout the competition included:
-
28th – Final 1, AviRings Derby Pro 2026 501 km – 1,790 pigeons
-
36th – Final 2, AviRings Derby Pro 2026 501 km – 1,161 pigeons

We are also delighted with the performance of Team Eijerkamp-Wolf, which achieved 23rd Ace Pigeon in the 3x500 Cup with pigeon CH-2026-6126, bred by Simon Wolf in Switserland.

Our 16. Ace 3x500 cup Derby Pro AviRings 2026A very special pedigree
The pedigree of NL26-8475389NL26-8475389 makes his performance even more interesting.
His father is none other than Little Prince 551 DV-02752-23-551, purchased directly from renowned OLR breeder Henrik Brinkman. Little Prince 551 is a very special son of Prince Finn and Little Finn, the winner of the 1st Final of the Victoria Falls OLR over 598 km, against 2,271 pigeons.
On the mother's side, the pedigree is equally impressive. His mother is our own Beetles African Dream NL23-9099753NL23-9099753 (header photo), one of the best pigeons ever to compete in the Africa Pro OLR. This combination brings together proven Eijerkamp bloodlines with some of the strongest modern OLR genetics, and NL26-8475389NL26-8475389 has certainly demonstrated the quality behind his pedigree with a consistent performance in the AviRings Derby Pro 2026.
