The amount of winner's from the Gaby's/ Shadow lines for NFC, BICC are absolutely outstanding the sheer volume & strike rate just mind blowing over many year's, Steve Watt's does this ring any bells with you Mike going back, maybe the owner? not even sure what part of the Country he's from.

What would Phil likely pair to the hen Mike, would that be from your old family or something else, that's an impressive pedigree plenty of winners.
Does Mickey Watt's still have pigeons or has he moved away from pigeon racing altogether, I know he used to do well in the BICC.
I've not looked back but I think the name was Steve Watt's, may have been based I want to say Scotland but I could be wrong.

Interesting times ahead at Phil loft with the hen, hope it all work's out when breeding comes around something to look forward to with anticipation.

We had 2 out of Shadow on loan from Roy Mulligan of Armthorpe both bred winners, I believe that Mickey Betts had success with the same lines

I was just looking this afternoon on E****r 2 cocks I think going back to Shadow, just show's after all this time winner's still coming generations later. What a buzz to have had those top class pigeons back in the 90's from Vandenabeele - M & D Evans.
