Again a top result for the Broeckx family on the 20th of June on Vierzon (501km), their pigeons are totally ready to hit hard on the National race out of Bourges next weekend!

Please note that the group of racers at Broeckx only had their 2nd official race the past weekend and 2 weekends in a row they perform already amazingly, this is a loft to watch out for the coming weeks.

And as icing on the cake, their best 2 racing pigeons at the moment performed as the best of the loft as well.

And last but not least we want to give you the results of another top pigeon on the loft namely BE19-6066046, a super racing cock that Jan keeps only for the short distance race out of Quièvrain (136km). This is a son to a full sister 'Olympic 306'ke' and his results show that at the Broeckx loft they have pigeons that can race all distances.

He also only competed in 2 races this year and already won on Quièvrain (136km) incl. 2019 :

Jan & Marleen Broeckx, racing under the name Niels Broeckx, dream came true in 2017 when their ‘306’ke’ became 1st Olympiad Pigeon Cat. C Brussels and her name was being changed into ‘Olympic 306’ke’. She raced really marvellous and won:

                  15 National Châteauroux            6,850b              556km

Jan believed really strong in the breeding qualities of the parents and made sure he had some full brothers and sister on his own breeding loft, also some other fanciers took their chance and placed one on their loft and this with great results! Like for example André Devroy who has one full sister ‘Olympic 306’ke’ on his loft and bred immediately a few amazing racers, also Bart&Nance Van Oeckel have a full sister ‘Olympic 306’ke’ on their breeding loft and gives them results. 

Underneath an overview of the results of children from direct brothers & sisters ‘Olympic 306’ke’ on their own and other lofts. I think reason enough to get one on your own loft to breed with….

And in the season of 2019 these 2 still race superb: 

BE15-6184321: 11 prizes out of  11 races, so never missed in 2019! 
BE16-6113657 : 10 prizes out of 11 races
What kind of top pigeons are these !!

In the meantime André Devroey also bred out of the 15th National Ace Bird (coupled against a daughter ‘Athletic Runner’ so inbred to the parents ‘Olympic 306’ke) and the first two youngsters ever being raced is one of them right a way very promising and raced as youngster immediately 5 out 6 races prize: 

BE19-6207264

26   Noyon                        287b
41   Chevrainvillers          509b
208 Melun                        650b
211 Pont-St-Maxence 1,028b

And this one will be part of the racing team year birds 2020 at André ! 

The parents of these top breeders namely father BE10-6031825 ‘Vandewouwer Runner’ (direct Gaston Van de Wouwer) and mother BE11-6125831 ‘Runner’ (direct Paul Voeten) are ending their breeding career. Out of the father Jan only bred one good youngster until now in 2020 and since then all bad eggs and out of the mother he also bred one good youngster and since then she doesn’t lay anymore…just to say that in 2020 no full sisters or brothers are born anymore only two ½ brothers/sisters. Jan and Marleen agreed to put one last direct full brother in the online auction at Herbots, so this is the last opportunity you will get to buy one online and this exclusively on Herbots. 
Also in further generations their genes give their good DNA as we got the reference of BE19-6170509 who won:
5 Melun 1,658b
5 Melun 1,512b
5 Melun 1,044b
28 Melun 2,083b 
And this one is already a grandchild BE15-6059690 who is a full sister of ‘Olympic 306’ke’, so the first results of this amazing breeding couple in 3rd generations are set!

But not only the Olympiad strain is doing really well concerning references, also the other top pigeons they have/had on their loft are paying off and are given their good racing genes on to the next generations.

Their first top and base breeder was BE09-6053935 ‘Br. Loper Vlieger’, he gave good results coupled to top hen ‘Miss Turbo Jet’ BE10-6172272 (direct Bart&Nance Van Oeckel). They became an amazing breeding couple together and became parents on their own loft to 5 different Top 40 National winners and grandparents of ao: 9 National La Souterraine 9,136b and ‘Br. Loper Vlieger’ is still breeding well so you can find a youngster of him in the online auction. This is buy n°3 – BE19-6066528
In fact, that 9th National La Souterraine against 9,136b is the BE13-6071443 and won 
9            National La Souterraine   9,136b.
1            Noyon                                    540b.
122       National Argenton          9,970b.
33          Z.National Gueret            1,561b.
This pigeon was bought by Francis&Bart Verdeyen in an online auction on Herbots, they placed him on their breeding loft and gave immediately great breeding results. Their best youngster out of ‘King Niels’, this is how the pigeon was being baptized by Bart Verdeyen, is at the moment BE16-2083437 ‘Mister Limoges’, he is the 3rd Best Cahors pigeon in 2018-2019 and his winning results can you find on his pictures underneath. As he raced so well, Bart Verdeyen placed him on the breeding loft and now we are off course very curious whether his genes will continue on as well.

Other great references for ‘Br. Loper Vlieger’ BE09-6053935 are for example underneath direct children : 

  • ‘202-15’ 3x Top 10 against average 3,000b
  • ‘232-14’ 2 x Top 40 National at Geentjes-Haemhout
  • ‘303-14’ Super racer at H. Rikhof

 

And then we have ‘Elfje’, a super racing hen that won herself 
11th National Ace bird KBDB GMD 2011
10 National Chateauroux 19,691b
13 National Argenton 12,516b
20 National Gueret 15,007b

Buy n° 16 BE20-6153588 is a direct daughter out of this superbreeding hen BE13-6321624  from Gaston Van De Wouwer ! 

And we can continue on like that for a while. Again and again we can only repeat…good come out of good…and this is what Jan&Marleen figured out and are coupling all their good ones together and setting better results year after year. 

And last but not least we want to give you an overview off their Top 100 National results list (no zonal results – no doubles) from 2013 to 2019 just to show how good this loft and their pigeons are performing over the past years:
