Guest JonesyBhoy Posted December 16, 2009 Report Posted December 16, 2009 Was just having a read at this months Pictorial.. On page 8 it says that one of the best performances of the 2007 season was when Brian timed 'Tuff Nut' to be 1st Section K, 5th Open Pau Grand National.. Then i noticed on 'Tuff Nuts' picture that his ring number was 'GB96...' ..so that would have made him 11 when he had this performance from Pau.. Amazing performance.. are there any better..???
ALF Posted December 16, 2009 Report Posted December 16, 2009 It was an 05 pigeon that he timed in 07 and the race was Tarbes i'm sure
PIGEON_MAN Posted December 16, 2009 Report Posted December 16, 2009 Could even have been a old ring on a younger pigeon.
Guest JonesyBhoy Posted December 16, 2009 Report Posted December 16, 2009 Says on the pic.. GB96N27621.. Champion Maxi is Tuff Nuts Grandson and he was an '03' bird..
Guest JonesyBhoy Posted December 16, 2009 Report Posted December 16, 2009 I think Keith Mott has made a misprint... 2007 season should maybe have been 2000 season..??????
PIGEON_MAN Posted December 16, 2009 Report Posted December 16, 2009 Was no Pau race in 2007 it was Tarbes,Brian Denney was 1st sec.K.5th open.GB.05.N.25412.
ALF Posted December 16, 2009 Report Posted December 16, 2009 Tuff Nut GB96N27621 was 5th open in 2002...
Guest JonesyBhoy Posted December 16, 2009 Report Posted December 16, 2009 Well it reads 2007.. must be a misprint tho.. Out of interest whats the best preformance from a much older doo..??
Guest stb- Posted December 16, 2009 Report Posted December 16, 2009 fortune lady must have been a good old age when she won her double gold award. maybe 9 or 10 i thinks .
JohnV Posted December 16, 2009 Report Posted December 16, 2009 Some recent considerations might be: Alain Bavencoff's FR 98-353622 which in 2009 placed 392nd International Barcelona out of 26779 birds, as an 11 year old. This bird flew 1036,602 km at 882,94 M/M and was his first bird home (his second pick bird) out of 11 entries. I would suspect that this bird had some road sense and even at 11 years of age (if you believe the band number) was highly thought of by Alain Bavencoff Kurvers - De Weerd's NL 99-1361873 which in 2007 placed 20th International Barcelona out of 25716 birds, as an 8 year old. This bird flew 1096,692 km at 1260,16 M/M and was his first bird home (thirty-second pick bird) out of 39 entries. I would suspect that this bird performance was as much a surprise to Kurvers - De Weerd as it was to everyone else. Though it really should not have been as NL 99-1361873 has proven to be a very durable pigeon from Barcelona http://users.skynet.be/fb168503/Cureghem/2008/barca9808.htm
