Guest bakes Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Roger Florezoone Roger Florizoone of Nieuwpoort, Belgium, was one of the greatest exponents of the art and science of long distance and marathon pigeon racing in our modern era. In fact so successful was he, especially from Barcelona, that the fancy dubbed him 'Mr.Barcelona'. Alas our subject passed away on December the 4th in 2004 and the gems of his pigeons were sold at public auction in May 2005, with each bird averaging 2,350 Euros each. Florizoones base came from quite a few sources but always of the best quality for he had no time for quantity. Amongst them we note a few such as Georges Bolle, Robert Venus, Vanhee and Paul Bostijn, etc,. The stock was carefully crossed and prudently tested. Simplicity was his trade mark and his charges rewarded his excellent management. Perhaps his greatest thrill was his winning of the Barcelona National and International in 1976 with his good blue bar- Freddy. This was an outstanding specimen of our thoroughbreds for he had a previous success at the Spanish race when he was 5th International. Freddy carried the bloodlines of the great Benoni and the equally great Motta of Bostijn and Vanhee respectively. He also harboured Super Crack Grusson and Huijsentruyt genes as well. Other successes included winning the National from Barcelona in 1999 as well as twice being winner of the West Europe Super Marathon in 1997 and 1999. The loft won the Golden Wing Award in 1984 from Barcelona and also was awarded 1st National Long Distance Champion title of Belgium (KBDB) as well as the Primus 1994 Five Year Ranking Barcelona. In addition Florizoone won the 2nd National Marathon title in 1995 plus the Super Prestige Championship in the same year. These are but an example of the successes of this grand master of the sport but they suffice to confirm the many accolades bestowed upon the late Roger Florizoone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ribble Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 To help the 500 milers and maybe shorter Races-to help the pigeons respiratory - give them 1/2 Delta Albaplex tablet for 3 days before shipping.yes they cost a lot. I have just had a quick google and notice the above contain a derivative of hydrocortisone, (Prednisolone). Would this not lead to a positive drug test?
