G.G.Dam; Belg03-3003304 “Lady Bliksem” – Bred & Raced by Gaby Vandenabeele
In 2003 M & D Evans were invited by Gaby Vandenabeele to his home in Dentergem, Belgium, and while they were on this visit, Gaby gave them the pick from the very best of his 2003 hen race team. This direct daughter from the world famous “Bliksem” was one of the birds selected by Gaby and obtained
by M & D. Evans.
“Bliksem” is without a doubt one of the best birds that Gaby Vandenabeele ever owned. He won the following prizes in 2000 and was unofficially the best bird in Belgium:
1st Provincial Poitiers 1,488 birds
2nd Provincial Chateauroux 4,662 birds
4th Provincial Ruffec 1,778 birds

After 2000 “Bliksem” was not raced again and moved to Gaby Vandeanbeele’s breeding loft where he became one of the best breeders in the history of the sport. Many experts believe that he has become even a better breeder than his famous grandsire “Wittenbuik”. It is a very wild statement to make, but the racing results of his offspring are certainly impressive. Decide for yourself.
