GB 20 X 10786 is bred from two Jan Hooymans pigeons and carries "Harry" (NL07-2007621) twice — as grandsire through the dam and as great-grandsire through the sire. Harry won 1st Blois against 37,728 birds, 1st Chateauroux against 22,340 and 3rd Chateaudun against 21,520. Around him sit a dam line of five-times-1st winners and a sire line built on "Stareye", dam of 1st Niergnies 14,737 birds winner "New Harry".
The Sire — NL17-1410272 "Stareyes Esmee"
Blue cock · Jan Hooymans · grandson of Harry and of Esmee, 1st National Ace 2014
Stareyes Esmee joins the two strongest families on the card. His sire is a son of Harry out of "Esmee" (NL12-1005204), the Elzinga hen who was 1st National Ace Bird 2014 and three times 1st. His dam is "Stareye" (NL10-1881869), and the card describes him as her only child in the UK.
He is half-brother to two proven racers. "New Harry" won 1st Niergnies 14,737 birds, 1st Pt. St. Maxence 12,894 birds and 1st Melun 1,046 birds, with 9th Troyes 6,390 besides. "Harry Junior" won 1st Provincial Asse Zellik 8,257 birds, 1st Lessines 4,097 birds and 4th National Bourges 16,658 birds.
Both of his parents bring produce rather than reputation. His sire, "Son Harry × Esmee" (NL15-1849890), is a chequer, DNA-certified full brother to the breeder of 1st National Sens 2018, 1st National Morlincourt 2018 and 2nd National Chalons 6,919 birds. Stareye, from C. v.d. Wetering on original Jo Baas lines, is credited on the card as mother to the 1st National young-bird Pipa-ranking bird and to further 1st prizes including Quievrain 11,337 birds and Asse Zellik 1,897 birds.
The Dam — NL14-1210088 "Miss Flash Harry"
Chequer hen · DNA certified · direct daughter of Harry × Mystique
Miss Flash Harry is a direct daughter of Harry, which puts the long-distance winner one generation from this bird on the dam's side. Her dam is "Mystique" (GB07-L02105), a chequer hen the card calls "Exclusive hen!!", who won five 1st prizes against 4,316, 3,801, 1,740, 1,558 and 1,379 birds, with further 1sts against 570, 318 and 299. Her parentage is DNA certified.
