Great success in Argenton & Vivonne (Poitiers) for Bart & Nance Van Oeckel (Oud-Turnhout)

Oud-Turnhout - The season has started well for Bart and Nance Van Oeckel, together with their carer Kjenten Van Hecke. Last weekend they already achieved top results on the flight from Argenton, and this weekend they were in prizes again on the flight from Vivonne.

Argenton
On the national flight from Argenton, they fell very easily on the board at the Van Oeckel home. And that might even be an understatement.
As for the old pigeons they clocked 4 pigeons in the top 100, with the yearlings they clocked no less than 9 in the top 100.
This is no less than 13 pigeons in the top 200 of 34.213 basketed old birds and yearlings!

BE23-6102010
This blue cock was the first pigeon clocked by Bart & Nance, good for the 7th Nat. Argenton against 17.666 yearlings.
In terms of pedigree, this pigeon is inbred "F-Hao Hao" (father 1st,4th and 5th Nat. Ace pigeon KBDB 2021/2022), with its own mother "Sister Olympic 306" (a full sister of the 1st Olympiad pigeon Cat. C 2017) of Broeckx Niels.  
This pigeon also previously flew a 172nd Prov. Châteauroux against 2.935 pigeons.

BE23-6102377
This checkered hen was the second pigeon clocked by Bart & Nance, good for the 9th Nat. Argenton against 17,666 yearlings.
Here the "F-Hao Hao" blood flows through the veins as well, "F-Hao Hao" is the grandfather on the father's side. 
"F-Hao Hao" was sold in 2021 via a Pigeon Bids at Herbots to a customer in China but there are clearly still very good offspring with Bart and Nance who can pass on these good genes.
BE23-6102377 flew a.o. the following performances:
7th Noyon against 166b
14th Quievrain against 1.446b
20th Sermaises against 1.131b
43rd Noyon against 629b
44th Quievrain against 1.525b
50th Noyon against 998b
52nd Noyon against 729b

1st Prov. Vivonne (Poitiers)
Bart & Nance Van Oeckel immediately triumphed again on the national flight from Vivonne (Poitiers) the weekend after the national flight Argenton. Their pigeon "BE23-6102270" landed at 13:16:53 with a speed of 1818.16 m/min and won the 1st provincial prize for yearlings and was the fastest of 2,685 yearling and old birds. They also achieved 2nd national place for yearlings against 10.575 pigeons (3rd against 19.590 old birds and yearlings).
Bart, Nance and Kjenten, by the way, played very impressively provincially with, among others, the following positions: 1-5-22-48-72-111 (25/85).

Their winner is a son of "Olympic Super Werner" (3rd Nat. Ace Pigeon Sprint Youngsters KBDB 2020) x "Boeky" (sister 6th Nat. Ace Pigeon Allround KBDB 2021) and is also not yet at his experimental stage with the following nice performances:
1st Noyon against 854b
19th Quievrain against 874b
33rd Quievrain against 1.122b
35th Quievrain against 479d
36th Argenton against 650b (451st Nat. against 17.666b)
45th Melun against 456b

I can only conclude that at The Diamond Loft of Bart & Nance they went in full gas again this season.
This is not the first we have heard from them this season and I have a suspicion it certainly won't be the last.
Bart, Nance and Kjenten, congratulations on the victories of the past weekends from the entire Herbots team!
