GB23 C 54636 CH PIED H A raced and placed hen — 3rd Fed against 644 birds — off a Heremans stock cock bred down from Ambassadeur and Euro, and a granddaughter of Rondags' national ace Rogerke Bolt
Concentrating on the NFC & Channel racing, I am cutting back on our very successful sprint team !!
GB23C54636 is a chequer pied hen that has done the job herself before being offered: she has five recorded positions, including 3rd Federation against 644 birds and 7th Federation against 584, all but one at 147 miles. Behind her sits a cross of two serious Belgian and Dutch sources — Leo Heremans through her sire, carrying Ambassadeur and the famous Euro, and Fran & Gert Rondags through her dam, carrying Rogerke Bolt, 2nd National Ace Pigeon Speed Yearlings KBDB 2019.
HER OWN RECORD
3rd Club — 123 birds, 147 miles
5th Club — 109 birds, 147 miles
3rd Federation — 644 birds, 147 miles
7th Federation — 584 birds, 147 miles
20th Federation — 875 birds, 84 miles
Consistency at a single distance is the point here: four positions from 147 miles, two of them in the top ten of fields close to 600 birds or more. The card also describes her as a "good racer and breeder of winners"; it does not list her produce, so that part rests on the loft's word.
The Sire — GB20 E 09031 "Mr Eijerkamp"
Leo Heremans · Chequer cock · kept for stock
Mr Eijerkamp was bred for the stock loft and has not been raced. His value is in what stands directly behind him. His sire, "Stuart" (NL16-1256017), bred by Eijerkamp, is a son of "Ambassadeur" (BE10-6146074) and is described on the card as "sire and grandsire to multi winners, up to Fed level".
Ambassadeur himself won 1st Ace Club 2011 and was six times in the top 1%, including 1st Quiévrain 526 birds, 3rd Quiévrain 1,852 birds and 4th Quiévrain 2,073 birds. Mr Eijerkamp's dam, "Angelina" (NL17-1821361), is "dam and granddam to winners" and is tightly bred to Euro (BE03-6192564), grandsire of a run of big-field winners listed below.
The Dam — GB22 V 34835 "Lizzy"
Eijerkamp / Rondags · Chequer pied hen · granddaughter of Rogerke Bolt
The card calls Lizzy "an absolutely stunning bird", and her breeding is all Rondags speed. Her sire, "Teentje" (NL21-1669443), is a direct son of "Rogerke Bolt" (BELG18-5117600), who was 2nd National Ace Pigeon Speed Yearlings KBDB 2019, 7th National Ace Pigeon Speed Youngsters KBDB 2018 and 1st Provincial Ace Pigeon Speed Youngsters. Teentje's dam, "Furious", is described as sister to the sire of five car winners in the Pioneer Race.
Lizzy's dam, "Lady Jane" (BELG20-5104193), is a racing hen in her own right: 13 times in the top 20 semi-provincial, with 1st Chimay 360 birds, 1st Chimay 281 birds, 2nd Semi-Provincial Dizy 897 birds and 4th Semi-Provincial Chimay 3,700 birds. She is a daughter of "Lady Bolt" (BELG18-5117612), a hen the card describes as a "super racing hen — winner 6× 1st prize".
