LOT 20 – WHU25G41131 – “Brooke’s Pride”
PARENTAGE
SIRE: GB18B21665, Kees Bosua, bred by John Gerard. He is sire of 3rd Final RPRA OLR 2022 and comes from NL13-1488831 “Flo 31”, sire of more than 12 x 1st, and GB08V42659 “Golden Prins”, dam of more than 20 x 1st.
DAM: WHU23B11006, chequer hen bred by Paul Bamford and purchased from the UK Premier One Loft Race after finishing 25th Ace, 8th Semi-Final and 23rd Final.
That is a very strong blend – prolific Kees Bosua winning blood on the sire side and proven One Loft performance on the dam side.

20th Ace Pigeon
A proven pigeon across two complete campaigns, with 20th Ace and 109th Ace finishes to its name. Particularly impressive is the consistency shown in the previous series, right through to 21st at 248 miles.
A really nice pigeon physically too – small-to-medium, pear shaped, beautifully balanced, tight vented and finished off with a bright yellow eye. A pigeon with both the handling qualities and race record to recommend it.
