ANOTHER RACE SEASON STARTS IN THE SOUTH AFRICAN SUNSHINE.
LIVESTREAM was once again up and running and I logged on from Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe bright and early at 07.30 SA time, the weather was fine and cool, quite overcast and heavy clouds and very little wind at the loft and on route. The pigeons were liberated at 07.15 cleared well and headed for home. I really did not have to wait that long as at 07.59 SA because all of a sudden I saw a gang of about 50 pigeons swing round the loft and hit the landing area, smartly followed by another gang of about 50 pigeons, followed a short gap then three more big gangs of over 100 pigeons. The result came up on the iPad screen and I saw that 1st OPEN went to a fancier in NETHERLANDS. Within a few minutes of the winner being clocked over 1,000 pigeons had been officially recorded. As the pigeons arrived and hit the landing platform they looked in super condition after this short fly. If you have never logged on to watch the pigeons arrive, I strongly suggest you give it a try, you will just love the experience. https://youtu.be/YgbzNaSb_C8 TRAINING RACE 15 was held on Wednesday 25th January 2017 from 62km (39 miles) and for this race a total of 2,447 pigeons from 35 different countries were basketed and this included 2,270 International pigeons and 177 pigeons from South Africa and this figure also included 205 from the United Kingdom and 26 pigeons from Ireland. There were also 24 pigeons that were not basketed because they were left in the Hold Back section because they had made earlier mistakes and were not fit to be entered, this total included just 1 from the United Kingdom and none from Ireland. So the total in the loft was 2,471 pigeons. The convoy were liberated at 07.15 in fine and cool conditions with very little wind on route and a temperature of 19c (66f). The convoyer reported the pigeons cleared well and headed directly for home. A good race was anticipated. As the day progressed the temperature would steadily rise but rain was anticipated to arrive later in the day. CONGRATULATIONS on winning 1st OPEN goes to the RA BAKKER & ZOON from NETHERLANDS with pigeon named TESY bred by KLAUS STIENEKER, which was officially clocked at 07.59.13.54 to record a winning velocity of 1,560ypm (23.3649 m/s) (53 mph). 2nd Team Germany – R+MA Rolff from Germany, 3rd Stefan Redlich from Belgium, 4th Aldehoum Loft from Kuwait, 5th J & J Syndicate from United Kingdom, 6th Jan Hooymans – Hu Zhen Yu from Netherlands, 7th Doyle M Gibson from United States Of America, 8th Mishal Ead from Kuwait, 9th Team Zeche Prinz Regent from Germany, 10th Ganus Family Loft from United States Of America, 11th Tanja Siebert from Germany, 12th Mark & Johnny from United States Of America, 13th Team Hooymans from Netherlands, 14th Klaus Stieneker from Germany, 15th Irish Syndicate from United States Of America, 16th another for Klaus Stieneker from Germany, 17th Robert Darr – Donald Bicknell II from United States Of America, 18th Fayez 8 from Kuwait, 19th Jutla Brothers from United Kingdom and 20th Hannelore Jaekel from Germany.
