Veulemans Ludwig (Halen) wins 1st and 2nd Provincial Souillac yearlings

21 Jul 2025

Barely a week after Limoges, Ludwig Veulemans wins the Souillac provincial race again with the yearlings. This time, the team takes not only gold but also silver. Last week's first pigeon wins 9th Provincial again in Souillac. The winner from Souillac this week also won 9th Provincial in Limoges. It wasn't an easy choice because there's no long-distance race the following weekend, so the pigeons now have to race two weeks in a row. Now they'll have a week's rest before heading to Libourne. That will be the end of their season, giving them the necessary experience for next year. Ludwig and Tuy are increasingly focusing on the long-distance.
