In the Jewels of the Sky-auction of February 2006 Mr. Warren Smith purchased “Zus Red Quinty”, NL02-0271837. She is a full sister of “Red Quinty” that won 1st Nat. (R) Orleans against 10.974 birds. Last December Mr. Smith was looking for a cock (for a fixed prize) to mate with “Zus Red Quinty” and contacted me. Because I know that he is a Claessens-fanatic I choose a very promising and beautiful cock from my breeding loft: “Bont 509”, NL05-0566509.
This cock only raced as a youngster. He participated in 8 races and won 8 prizes. Winning (almost) 100% prize is a quality of my best birds! Best result of “Bont 509” was the 19th prize on the Provincial RI race Creil against 5665 birds. In this important race I won the 1st prize with “Blauwe 506”, a full brother of “Favoriet 41” (is father of “Bont 509”). This “Favoriet 41” won three times a 1st prize and ... is the nest brother of my best widower of this moment “Simply the Best”...! With this references “Bont 509” was surely good enough to join my breeding loft. Besides “Bont 509” has a strong body and a beautiful breeding eye. With that, he is in my eyes a fitting partner for “Zus Red Quinty”.
