A results-backed pigeon with top competition rankings and proven performance across the 500 km final series.

NL 26-8324118 brings together the PABLO one-loft racing family, repeated ROYAL CAPE ancestry and documented Harry, Leo Heremans and ANNA connections. A direct youngster of SON PABLO (NL 23-9563737) and DTR KRISTOF (NL 21-1484013), this pigeon offers a pedigree supported by race winners, proven breeding results and international one-loft connections.

The paternal grandfather, PABLO (NL 21-1484576), finished 176th in the Algarve Great Derby final against 2,026 pigeons over 491 km. He is also the documented full brother of MISS SOFIA, highlighted in the pedigree for her one-loft racing credentials. PABLO is a son of SALVADOR and ELLIS.

The ELIN family is represented on both sides. Paternal grandmother MATA HARI is a half-sister to ELIN, while maternal grandfather KRISTOF is recorded as ELIN’s brother. ELIN’s three victories provide clear performance evidence:

  • 1st Quievrain against 2,109 pigeons
  • 1st Duffel against 1,483 pigeons
  • 1st Tongeren against 1,028 pigeons

KRISTOF is also a half-brother to VARDY, 1st NPO Issoudun against 3,319 pigeons. His dam, DALIDA, is recorded as 100% Leo Heremans, inbred to Olymp 003. ROYAL CAPE, sire of both MATA HARI and KRISTOF, consequently appears twice among the offered pigeon’s great-grandparents.

The Harry connection runs through MATA HARI, recorded as a granddaughter of HARRY and a daughter of NL 15-1850065, “Daughter Harry”. The maternal grandmother, DOCHTER ANNABELLA, adds documented inbreeding to ANNA. Her sire ANAKIN is a brother of the 1st Ace Pigeon, Belgian Masters OLR 2013; her dam ANNABELLA produced an 88th-place Victoria Falls finalist.

A compelling family-based prospect, combining repeated successful ancestry with substantial winning and one-loft racing evidence.

Frits & Wytse Mantel have shown outstanding AviRings Derby strength, highlighted by 1st place in AviRings Derby PRO 2026 Race 3 from 255 km against 2,417 pigeons. Their record also includes 3rd place in the 2024 AviRings Derby Final Race from 521 km against 1,264 pigeons and 8th place in PRO 2026 Race 4 from 325 km against 2,313 pigeons. Across recent seasons they repeatedly placed pigeons in the top percentages, including 9th in PRO 2025 Race 5, 15th and 16th in PRO 2026 Race 2, and 19th in PRO 2025 Race 6. Competition results further underline consistency, with notable rankings such as 1st in the 2026 “lucky loser” competition, 30th in Champion of the Nations 2026, and 57th in the 2026 3x500 competition.
