Yesterday we have had our 1st NPO race. This time from Chateaudun, 502km.
It was a hard race with head winds and low temperatures.
Against 8.855 pigeons we started with:2,3,4,10,12,13,14,20,22, etc. From 112 pigeons 84 won a prize card (1:4). Our 28 2 year old racers (team 70-800km) won all a prize card and 27 of them in the first 10%!

As you can see almost all are bred out of the super pigeons on the NPO races in 2008 when we dominated these races and the national ace pigeons one day long distance.
The first 11 pigeons were all hens. Luckily the winner last week was a cock.
On May 18th we had a race from Meaux, 368km. Provincial there were 24.447 pigeons basketed and the son of Flintstone x EliZe was the 3rd fastest.
