Danny De Voogd from Yerseke (NL) wins 1st NPO Fontenay 7,192 pigeons

In Zeeland, the Netherlands, the NPO race from Fontenay (390km) was on the agenda last weekend. They also had to deal with bad weather on the flight line, which meant that the pigeons had to stay in the basket an extra night. They were released at 10:30 am on Sunday and the first pigeons just managed to reach 1200 m/min. The winner here from Fontenay is in the lofts of Danny De Voogd from Yerseke, who is having a very strong season this season. He achieved 4 victories in 5 weeks and achieved fantastic results, which bodes well for the rest of the season. The winner of Fontenay is a 2-year old cock who has already achieved some great results in his career and is now the fastest of 7,192 pigeons.
