They won both nationally in the zone with the old birds and with the yearlings, and at national level, they scored 2-4-16-23-40-43-70-78-84-… with old and yearlings combined. A fantastic result. Their first pigeon, "Turbo Ito," is another top-notch pigeon. He's a son of super breeder Ito and has already achieved a fantastic palmares.
