Hoogeveen Brothers win 4th Semi-Final Golden Algarve with 50% Ebben pigeon

Yesterday the semi-final of the prestigious Algarve Golden Race took place, with no fewer than 3,864 pigeons competing. The Hoogeveen Brothers from Ochten (NL) achieved a fantastic result by winning 4th prize, earning €8,000 in prize money.

The winning pigeon is 50% Ebben-blooded. The father was bred by the Hoogeveen Brothers out of our well-known Cyrus (NL07-1513778, son of Roosje), which we gave to them as a gift at an advanced age. He was paired to a daughter of Diablo, a direct son of Cyrus and also the father of our top pigeon Linus.

The mother of the 4th prize winner comes from Mark & Geert Pollin. The Pollin x Ebben combination once again proves to be a golden cross: Bart and Thijs Hoogeveen have already achieved several fine results with this mix in One Loft Races, and this latest performance further underlines the strength of these bloodlines.

Congratulations Bart and Thijs on this outstanding achievement!
