The unsurpassed Harry bloodline of Jan Hooymans has been victorious in the NPO race from Bourges against 4,814 pigeons: the one year old racing cock Baron Harry claimed victory and was almost victorious in the Northern Union as well against 14,322 pigeons. The pigeon that beat him was Yolanthe, winner of two first prizes. She was promptly transferred to the Hooymans breeding lofts.

Team Hooymans has been really successful recently, and it appears that the team has been in peak for the most important races of the season. The celebrated Harry pigeon family, which continues to win top prizes on a weekly basis across the globe, is responsible for numerous top results here in Kerkdiel in recent weeks:

Baron Harry

It is no surprise that the winner of the 1st NPO Bourges Baron Harry is genetically closely related to Harry. His dam Incredible Lady is a direct daughter of the acclaimed breeder paired to his full sister Alexia, winner of a 1st NPO Chateauroux and a successful racing hen herself. Click here for an overview of the results of the Harry bloodline in 2017.
The sire of Baron Harry is Blue Baron, a renowned sprint and middle distance racing bird. He is the winner of no less than 7 first prizes and he comes straight from the successful Colijn & Fox combination. The bloodlines of this champion relate back to the prestigious lines of Schaerlaeckens and the Janssen brothers. Click here for the pedigree of Baron Harry.
