Vrancken – Berden from Kuringen is the sprint sensation with the youngsters on speed

04 Oct 2023

In the past season, the status of Vrancken – Berden from Kuringen in Limburg has seriously improved again. The level that this colony can achieve again and again is phenomenal. Before I met him, he had already won 2 x 1st Olympiad Pigeon Young Pigeons thanks to “Het Olympiadeke” and “Olympic Wout”. In 2020, “Olympic Rico” was born and he came full circle with 3 Olympiad pigeons, 3x gold is extremely rare in this high level of pigeon racing. In the 2023 season, several top pigeons were born in Kuringen and he had 5 young pigeons among the first 33 National Ace Pigeons young pigeons in the sprint, simply fantastic and with 2 places in the top 5, this colony is one of the best in the sprint. the past years.

In this article we introduce you to the best pigeons of this season and describe in detail the performance of his fantastic breeding couple “White Man” x “New Niki”.

The wonder couple “White Man” x “New Niki”

You sometimes come across something special in your pigeon racing career, so you can consider the flying career of “White Man” to be fantastic. He flew at a very high level for 2 years with the very best speed pigeons that can be found in Belgium and afterwards formed a fantastic breeding couple with “New Niki”.

In just 4 seasons she bred 3 National Ace pigeons among the young pigeons, which were among the best 5!!! heard at national level. We first had “Olympic Rico” who became 1st National Ace Pigeon speed KBDB 2020 and 1st Olympiad Pigeon Young pigeons and also 1st World Best Pigeon FCI on speed against old, yearling and young pigeons. In 2022 it was the turn of “Miss White”, she became 4th National Ace Pigeon speed young pigeons KBDB and this season it was the turn of “White Paulien”, who became 5th National Ace Pigeon speed young pigeons KBDB.


“White Man” comes from Rene Vervoort and “New Niki” was purchased from the total sale of Antoon Neven. They both flew very well and afterwards this resulted in a fantastic breeding couple. The offspring of “Olympic Rico” at the Herbots family is also nothing short of fantastic, both at home and abroad.

We wish Eric congratulations on these great achievements from the entire HERBOTS TEAM.
