Ace Pigeons

Ace pigeons are the so-called best pigeons, 2nd best, 3rd best over a whole season in a club, combine, Federation of section.
'So-called' since an Ace pigeon does NOT necessarily mean the best. 
There are clubs in which the bird that won most prizes is Ace. 
If there are 12 races and only one won 11 prizes, no matter if they are early prizes or late prizes that is the ace. But of course a bird that won say 9 prizes with some firsts is better. 
That's is why you will miss some super birds in the summary below.   


To introduce all Ace pigeons I won in recent years would be too many. We restrict ourselves to those in Combine and M Brabant.
M Brabant means COMBINES TOGETHER, about 2,000 fanciers in 1990, now less.
Average 11,000 birds in the races.
Furthermore I race in Belgium in the province of Antwerp since 2006. The Ace pigeons there were won in the Fed called ZAV
in which fanciers of appr 30 clubs can participate. These are of course the best birds in a very wide area.
Others only race local.

08-6306772     2nd Ace ZAV Antwerp
08-772 won in 2 years' time 22 prizes of 22 races and 13 prizes 1:10. Many super birds are among forefathers. I was so stupid as to sell both parents. 
It was 2nd Ace in ZAV Antwerp in 2009. The father (868) gave 3 more super birds at other fanciers but I only heard that after I sold it and after 772 performed so well. The funny thing is that the Taiwanese buyer returned it to my agent as he did not like it since it was scared and such birds could not be good breeders he said.
He did not realise 868 was in he breeding loft and I seldom handled it. I very much regret to have sold 868, see pedigree!

    


08-1628682
As a baby 08-682 won in 2008 in 5 weeks' time in ZAV Antwerp against many great names 2, 3, 4, 7. It was elected by Superduif as the 3rd best youngster of ALL Belgium. In June 2009 it got lost with still 3 races to go. What a shame. Also in 2009 682 was fantastic and despite it could not be raced the last 3 races it ended up as 4th Ace in ZAV Antwerp.
