Stefan Steenbergen (Herk-de-Stad) wins 1st Provincial Argenton 319 old birds

At the national race from Argenton last weekend, Stefan Steenbergen from Herk-de-Stad in Limburg had only one old bird in his basket. The reason for this is simple: the Argenton pigeons had only been home for a few days, and he didn't have the same pigeons at the start to win. Therefore, he selected this hen and had her race Argenton. She performed with flying colors, winning 1st Provincial against 319 old birds and being the fastest of all the old birds and yearlings.

For Stefan, this is a new boost after winning 1st National Bourges against 11,056 yearlings. Earlier this year, he also won 1st Provincial Bourges 1,312 p (fastest of 3,076 p).
