Blue hen SU07F7021 known as KINGDOM SPIRIT, bred and raced by 2 gentlemen of our sport,George and Brian Hunter from Dunfermline. This in my opinion is probably the best pigeon I have ever known in my 40+ years in the sport and definitely does not get the accolades it deserves.. At the weekend she was 2nd sect C 58th open Alencon Gold cup at 7 years of age.( 07 old ring, she is an 08 bird ) Heres her performances to date. 2010 as a 2 yr old 7th sect C 26th Open Gold cup Reims 567 miles, 2010 2nd sect C 30th Open Clermont 524 mls ( best bird in Scotland winning the Dewar Trophy ).2011 2nd sect C 32nd Open Gold cup Messac 573 mls,( winning the coveted SNFC Silver Award ) 2011 31st sect C 67th Open Clermont 524 mls, 2012 4th sect C 36th Open Gold cup Alencon 547 mls,( winning the coveted SNFC Gold Award ) 2013 8th sect C 26th Open Gold cup Alencon, 2013 41st sect C 90th Open Clermont, 2014 18th sect C 120th Open Gold cup Alencon ( winning her 2nd Silver Award ) 2015 2nd sect C 58th Open Gold cup Alencon...... 9 SNFC Diplomas from 524 - 573 miles, 6 from the prestigious GOLD CUP Blue Riband race and 3 from Clermont. Fortune Lady scored 10 times and won 2 x Gold Awards but in my opinion Kingdom Spirit has an edge on her as the BOP and hazards nowadays are far more than they were 20 years ago. Also, her loft location isn't the best in her section and she has won 2nd sect on 3 occasions.. Unbelievable pigeon and I dream of something similar in my life time. Well done to George and Brian Hunter of Cowdenbeath for creating, conditioning and flying such a wonderful champion pigeon.
