GB24 D 23813 BLUE W/F COCK A raced cock scoring 5th Federation from 644 birds himself, by a sire with nine Club and Federation positions, out of a Van den Bulck × Euro hen.
Concentrating on the NFC & Channel racing, I am cutting back on our very successful sprint team !!
GB24 D 23813 is a 2024 blue white-flight cock with racing results of his own: 5th Federation from 644 birds at 147 miles and 16th Federation from 403 birds at 194 miles. His sire's side goes straight back to the Pipa "Best Kittel" family. His dam brings in Dirk Van den Bulck and Leo Heremans' inbred "Euro" line. The card also credits him with breeding 2nd and 15th in the Derbyshire Futurity 2025, which together won over £2,000.
HIS OWN RECORD
5th Club: 123 birds, 147 miles
5th Federation: 644 birds, 147 miles
16th Federation: 403 birds, 194 miles
Bred 2nd and 15th Derbyshire Futurity 2025: over £2,000 won
He has been tested at both ends of the sprint range, scoring in Federation racing at 147 and 194 miles. The Futurity result matters as much as his race positions. It is the first evidence that he passes on what he has, and futurity prizes are won against youngsters that many lofts bred for that one race.
THE SIRE
GB21 Z 52642 "Davey Best"
Blue W/F · Pipa / Leo Heremans · nine Club and Federation positions
Davey Best is a racer first. His card lists 4th Federation from 644 birds, 7th Federation from 857 birds, 10th Federation from 769 birds, 16th Federation from 469 birds at 193 miles and 19th Federation from 1,030 birds. He also has four Club positions, all 4th or 5th, from fields of 63 to 123 birds. He raced between 111 and 193 miles, the same distances his son has since scored at.
He is bred from a Pipa-line cock and a Heremans hen. His sire, GB20 V 26085, was bred for stock by Derek Rooney. That cock is a son of "Neptune" (BE19-4130275), a full brother to "Best Kittel 2". Best Kittel 2 won 1st National Ace KBDB Sprint 2020: he flew 9 of 10 races, won three 1st prizes and finished in the top 1% six times. Davey Best's dam is "Queens Court Gold" (GB14 Z 26131). Leo Heremans describes her as "Dam & GDam of multi winners for me. Super hen in every way."
