Fantastic One Loft Racing weekend, Top Results in Spain, Portugal & Egypt!
This weekend marked the grand finale of the Marismas Masters in Spain. It has been an absolutely fantastic experience participating in this superbly organized One Loft Race. The organization did a phenomenal job, and we want to thank the team behind Marismas Masters for their outstanding efforts. The championship consisted of 10 races, with the results based on the two fastest pigeons per team, each team starting with 10 pigeons. On Saturday, April 5th, 2025, the final race took place. We are incredibly proud of our little champion, NL24-8208322NL24-8208322 (Romario 330 x Lady Hope), who achieved a fantastic 7th place in this extremely tough Final race, 486 km! Earlier, this top hen already placed 2nd in Race 8 and 17th in Race 6. Until Race 9, we were leading the Master Fancier ranking and ultimately finished 3rd overall — a result we are very happy with, considering the very strong competition!
Strong Performance in Derby Aal Nagib
On Monday, April 7th, it was time for Race 5 of the Derby Aal Nagib in Egypt, over a distance of 350 km. With 887 pigeons participating, the birds had to battle their way through the desert from Fouka to Cairo, facing a strong headwind. This resulted in a very tough race with an average speed of only 1087 meters per minute. Our pigeons performed fantastically under these challenging conditions, achieving 5th, 18th, 48th, and 50th prizes. Notably, our pigeons NL24-8208888NL24-8208888 and NL24-8209087NL24-8209087, who already showed great form in Race 3, were again our two fastest pigeons! In addition, NL24-8209103NL24-8209103 continued her strong form in the Ace Pigeon ranking by securing the 48th prize this time.
Top Results in Derby Moledo
Also on Monday, April 7th, our Eijerkamp-Wolf Team competed in Race 3 of the Derby Moledo in Portugal. A total of 1616 pigeons participated over a distance of 217 km. It was a fast race with a high average speed of over 1460 meters per minute. We were delighted with the performance of NL24-8209257NL24-8209257, who claimed the 20th prize! Interestingly, this hen is a full sister to NL24-8208322NL24-8208322, the pigeon that achieved 7th place in the Marismas Masters final (Romario 330 x Lady Hope). It's fantastic to see the family lines performing so consistently at the top level!
