paired with ‘Little Inbred KJ’ (‘Kleine Jade’, Jelle Jellema) at that time. Additionally, we see the phenomenon ‘New Laureaat’ both on the paternal and maternal sides. As you've read above, both top breeders ‘Mamba’ and ‘Willeke’s Laureaat’ are the parents of ‘Maradona’. ‘Mamba’ is a son of two National winners, namely the 1st International Barcelona 2018 and the 1st National Agen 2018. ‘Willeke's Laureaat’ also has two International/National winners as parents, namely ‘New Laureaat’, 1st International Barcelona 2012, and ‘Willeke’, 1st International St Vincent 2019. ‘Mamba’ and ‘Willeke's Laureaat’ have since become parents of several top pigeons in their own loft, but we also see their offspring achieving top results in One Loft Races (OLR): ‘Maradona’ (‘Mamba’ x ‘Willeke’s Laureaat’) with ao: 3rd International Ace Pigeon Perpignan 2022- 2023; 6th National SII St Vincent 2023; 18th National St Vincent 2023; 29th National Perpignan 2022; 37th National Tarbes 2022; 127th National Perpignan 2023. NL19-1651313 ‘Willeke’s Laureaat’, mother of ao ‘Maradona’.
With ‘Maradona’, we’ve reached one of the most remarkable pigeons among the marathon pigeons in the Netherlands. Remarkable because, like Maradona, he had little interest in daily training, and after a hawk attack in April 2023, he hardly ever goes outside. Remarkable also because he possesses extraordinary qualities both as a breeder and as a racing pigeon. ‘Maradona’ is a son of the two super breeders ‘Mamba’ x ‘Willeke’s Laureaat’. ‘Maradona’s’ most notable achievements are: 3rd International Ace Pigeon Perpignan 2022-2023; 6th National SII St Vincent 2023; 18th National St Vincent 2023; 29th National Perpignan 2022; 37th National Tarbes 2022; 127th National Perpignan 2023; 333rd National Agen 2021; 590th International Narbonne 2021; 759th National Barcelona 2023.
