A609-26-11 — 3rd in Champions of the Nations–Austria at the AviRings Derby 2026, and a full sibling to the 2nd Ace Pigeon World Cup France Masters 2025. Bred by Gratzer - Racing Pigeons, this bird combines its own documented result with compelling one-loft performances from its immediate family.
The full sibling A609-25-29 is a major highlight of this pairing. Recorded as offspring of both parents, it earned 2nd Ace Pigeon at the World Cup France Masters 2025, with results including:
- 3rd in the 340 km semifinal.
- 14th in the 350 km final.
The sire, A605-23-83, bred by Markus Eckhardt, is a son of “Eckis Batman” A105-22-1524. Batman was bred from a grandson of “Romario” paired to a Miha Sovic hen explicitly described as a full sister to the 2nd-place pigeon in the Sofia final. The paternal grandmother, A612-21-1006, adds the Bliege × Marchat branch and is recorded as a daughter of “Vleckje 891”.
The dam, A609-24-124, supplies further close-family evidence: her full sibling A609-23-2, documented as offspring of both maternal grandparents, won 6th in the 520 km final and 7th in Hot Spot 3 over 239 km at the AviRings Derby 2023. The maternal grandmother, A609-21-46, also performed herself, taking 14th in the 600 km Super Final at Derby Zagreb 2021.
Behind the maternal grandfather, bred by Rudi & Marco Mattis, the pedigree includes a Helmut Schulz son of “Pokerface” and the hen “Elaine”. The maternal grandmother's ancestry adds a Wolfgang Krönert grandson of “Kondor”. A pedigree whose strongest appeal lies in documented performance: an individual category placing, an outstanding full sibling, and final-race results across the close maternal family.
