卢克·德莱尔（Luc De Laere）荣获波治西佛兰德斯省成鸽组4406羽冠军（总7662羽最快速鸽）

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
  1  Prov.  Bourges    4.406b
- fastest of 7.662b
11 Nat.                     24.006b
  1              Fontenay       137b
  5              Fontenay       314b
  5              Clermont       237b
  8              Arras             135b

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!
