We raced 4 2 year olds from the only pair of Gaby's we have (a son of De Limoges x a granddaughter of Ronker) for the first time across the pond as OB's last year and none of our other racers could get anywhere near them, the lowest position they took in 6 channel races was 5th club. They were just off the pace up to the coast, but unbeatable (to our other pigeons) from 300-500 miles in their first year of channel racing. We've bought a Koopman hen direct out of De Wondere Dirk to try with the cock this year.
