BE-2026-4100785 “Martino Finn” is a blue cock bred by V.Gaver & A.Abajo, combining the documented Finn Pair family with national-winning ancestry from PIPA Breeding and PIPA Elite Center. Recorded with Team Tom Van Gaver & Alberto Abajo at Avirings OLR 2026, an event that started with 3,214 birds, he offers a pedigree supported by both close-family performances and successful breeding across generations.
A headline attraction is his explicitly recorded half-sister, the racer “Olympic Martina”. Her achievements include:
- 2nd National WBP YL FCI, 2025.
- 3rd National Olympic Ace, category H, Dortmund 2026.
- 1st Regional Cabo S.V against 2,807 pigeons over 642 km.
Martino Finn is a son of “Junior Finn” BE-2024-4192259 and BE-2023-4071389, the breeding hen also named “Olympic Martina” in the pedigree. Both parents are credited with producing successful racers. His paternal grandmother, “Tina Turner Finn” BE-2023-4180461, bred by Tom Van Gaver and recorded as DNA certified, is listed as mother or grandmother of the 1st National Ace LD RFCE 2026. She is a daughter of “Cock FINN Pair” BE-2011-4310566 and “Hen FINN Pair” BE-2014-4282328, establishing Martino Finn’s direct descent from this pair.
National quality runs through both sides. Through his maternal grandfather “Bentley”, Martino Finn is a great-grandson of “MAURICE” BE-2019-4184131, 1st National Souillac against 7,514 pigeons in 2021. On the paternal side, his grandfather “Junior Falls” was bred from “JUNIOR” BE-2017-1019414, 2nd National Ace KBDB 2018, and “PEBBLES” ZA MRPF-19-1235, 1st Super Ace Bird and 1st Grand Average.
A compelling combination of documented Finn Pair descent, national-winning ancestors and a high-performing half-sister—the key strengths behind this Van Gaver–Abajo cock.
