As the site's a little quiet I like to look back on some of my better birds
Here's one who fell under the radar a bit - but he was a bloody good un
"Jumping Jack Flash". Bred by Jack Walker in Cannock
Winner of
1st Newton Abbot
1st Lulworth
1st Portsmouth
1st Kingsdown
1st Federation Lulworth 1,462 birds
3rd Federation Kingsdown 2,400 birds
3rd Kingsdown
3rd Portland
5th Bath etc etc
"Jack Flash" was the best trapper I ever had in my life
If he was 5 yards behind with 50 yards to go, no question he'd win
As others put the brakes on to navigate to their box he never did that
He'd still be rolled into a little ball going through the doors and he used to bounce off the back of his box
Happy Days
"Jumping Jack Flash" went onto become G.Sire of
"CHURCHILL". 14A16117
A great racer/breeder
Winner of :
Section F OB of the Year
NIPA OB CHAMPION OF THE YEAR!!
Irish Region RPRA Awards
BEST OLD BIRD PERFORMANCE 2017
BEST OVERALL PERFORMANCE 2017

Did you ever put Pale riders breeding record together ? I guess it’s hard to keep up with descendants

Not a chance

Here's one example
"THE MAGICIAN" 13A26519

When he moved to Stock he's shown himself Sire, G.Sire and G.G.Sire of winners
He's the G.Sire of "CHAMPION LEWIS" for Ken Armstrong
Winner of Section H OB of the Year 2023
Winner of 9 x 1st in total and 2nd Open NIPA 19,000 birds
"THE MAGICIAN" is also G.G.Sire of 1st Open NIPA Roscrea 20,000 birds

A winner of 30 prizes in club, Section and Open NIPA he also had 3 x 2nd Section F NIPA
