On Saturday, June 15, 2019, in good weather, the Argenton race was started by the province of Antwerp at 8.40. There were a total of 3,918 pigeons at the start.
At 14:39:22 at a distance of 555 km, the fastest pigeon in the province of Antwerp was noted at Kurt & Lore Raets in Wiekevorst. With a speed of 1,554.01 min./meters, the female B17-6110921 “Miss Argenton” was the fastest of the entire field of competitors.
The pigeons at Kurt & Lore Raets were in ascending order already showed up a week earlier at the
national flight Chateauroux (526 km) against 24,582 year olds since the young successful duo scored
the 15th National with the bird B18-6088063!
The provincial victory of Argenton with the two-year-old female B17-6110921 "Miss Argenton" was certainly no fluke.
The weeks before, the female flew already a few times tip on the small middle distance.
Also her nest mate B17-6110920 showed already last year her qualities on the
National flights:
- National Argenton vs. 8.818 pigeons
- National Chateauroux vs. 13.098 pigeons
- National Chateauroux vs. 4.641 pigeons
- National Chateauroux vs. 27.081 pigeons
As you can see, good blood never lies!
The 38-year-old florist Kurt Raets and his girlfriend Lore were delighted that the man had also taken note of this success in Germany and suddenly Markus Bauer of Amazing-Wings signed up for a visit.
The entire Amazing Wings team wishes Kurt & Lore all the best as well as much success on the upcoming mid-range national flights!
