Busuioc Virginia (Strombeek) wins 1st Prov. Dax Flemish Brabant

19 Jul 2024

Strombeek - Alexandru Busuioc managed to win the first provincial prize on the international flight from Dax for the province of Flemish Brabant. His pigeon BE22-20039827, named "Princesse Dax", was the fastest pigeon of all 270 old birds in the province of Antwerp. In addition, "Princesse Dax" won the 13th prize nationally against 2,578 old birds.

Previous Achievements

Earlier, "Princesse Dax" also flew a 16th Prov. Pau against 368 old birds in 2024 and a 131st Prov. Narbonne against 900 yearlings in 2023.

Pedigree

When looking at the pedigree of Alexandrus winning pigeon we see that on its father's side it descends from the best lines of Antoon & Luci van der Wegen with: 
"Lucia":
30th I.Nat. Perpignan against 13,573b.
104th Nat. St. Vincent against 27,296b.
212th Nat. Barcelona against 7,243b. 
"De Turbo":
1st Nat. Pau against 1,777b.
26th I.Nat. Pau against 5,411b.
12th Nat. Pau against 1,972b.
417th Chateauroux against 12,388b. 
"De Stek":
1st Nat. Dax against 4,108b.
19th I.Nat. Dax against 12,880b.
3rd Bordeaux against 1,584b.
39th Limoges against 1,981b. 
"De Marathon":
8th Nat. Barcelona against 10,574b.
12th I.Nat. Barcelona against 33,145b.

The paternal grandmother, "Miss Pau", also won fine championships with the 2nd Provincial Ace Marathon KBDB and the 9th Nat. Ace Marathon KBDB in 2022.

The mother of "Princesse Dax" is also a half-sister of "Miss Pau" mentioned above. She also descends from BE13-3154445 (100% Noël Peiren) who won 1st Nat. acebird Perpignan over 3 years.

So you see that good genes continue to play a major role in pigeon racing and that, as has been proven many times, the proverbial apple does not fall far from the tree.

Alexandru, the whole Herbots team would like to congratulate you once again on this great achievement!
