Luc De Laere: 1st Prov. Bourges 4.406 old birds (fastest of 7.662b)
30 May 2024
50 provincial victories
On the first national flight from Bourges last weekend, the 1st Prov. Bourges old pigeons for the province of West Flanders was won by Luc De Laere.
This is already the 50th(!) provincial victory for Luc, and that means something!
BE22-3081541 "Lotte"
Luc's winning pigeon is called "Lotte", and she is a blue hen from Luc's own "Sproet" line coupled with "Seyntje" from the Dewaele-Deseyn loft, a combination with which Luc has had success in the past.
"Lotte" is not the first to win provincial races as she also won the 1st Prov. Bourges against 1,167 yearlings last season
In addition, she recorded some fine performances last season including:
16 Nat. Argenton 17.210b
144 Nat. Argenton 22.869b
198 Nat. Argenton 15.210b
Some achievements of "Lotte" in 2024

And further?
Luc plans to basket "Lotte" next weekend on a speed or small middle distance race.
"If everything goes well, she may take her chance on Argenton and after that we'll see," says Luc.
If you ask us, this is definitely a hen to keep an eye on.
We would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Luc on behalf of the entire Herbots team!
