Team Van de Pasch (Grubbenvorst) wins 1st and 8 x TOP 10 Provincial Reims

In the Netherlands, the final sprint race for old and yearling pigeons was flown last weekend. For Team Van de Pasch from Grubbenvorst, this was the signal to step up their game to conclude their top season. They not only won 1st Provincial out of 4,198 pigeons but also clocked 9 pigeons in the top 11 prizes. Unprecedented at this level, and once again thanks in large part to their super breeding lines of “Big Ben” and “No Limit” crossed with other top pigeons from top Dutch lofts. But foundation sire “Big Ben” naturally remains the golden line that has been setting the standard here for several years and is also achieving high results in the Far East. The winner is one to be reckoned with; she is a granddaughter of the old foundation sire “Jupiter,” with whom it all actually began after he became the successor to “Lowieke,” and this son of “Jupiter” was paired with a daughter of national ace pigeon “No Limit,” which was then paired with a son of “Murphy’s Law” from Willem De Bruijn.

We are pleased to present the results to you, as well as the best hens of this season.
