28 Jun 2024

Itegem - On the national flight from Tulle, Jelle Roziers delivered an impressive performance with three of his hens. He achieved respectively 1st Provincial Tulle old birds, 3rd Provincial Tulle yearlings and 6th Provincial Tulle old birds for the province of Antwerp.

BE22-6042720 "Mayrah"

This blue hen was clocked as the winning pigeon for the province of Antwerp with a speed of 1229.88 m/m against 617 old birds. She also won 1st National Zone Z against 1,602 pigeons on the same flight. "Mayrah" is no stranger to the pigeon world; she also previously won 1st prize on Melun against 2,513 pigeons. With her excellent genes as a full sister to "King of Queens", who became the 2nd National Ace pigeon G.M.D. KBDB in 2023, her success is no surprise.

35th Sermaises against 1,764 pigeons

New Queen L: The Basis of Success

What makes this story even more special is that all three early pigeons have the same grandmother: BE17-6037517 "New Queen L". This top pigeon became the 1st National Ace pigeon KBDB Great Middle Distance YB in 2017. The genes of "New Queen L" once again proved to be invaluable for Jelle Roziers' success.

With this impressive performance, Jelle Roziers not only shows his talent and dedication in pigeon racing, but also emphasises the importance of excellent genetics in breeding top pigeons.
Congratulations again with this great achievement from the whole Herbots team Jelle!
