He's been 19 times king of antwerb 8 times emperor of antwerb 5 x1st national 1st Olympic pigeon 2x times n so on ,,
On interview he said feeding doesn't matter said 19 top flyers will all feed different lol
He said since he was a kid he has selected ruthlessly
After 5 ob races birds with minor prices are killed yb the same even if he's only left with 3 yb to go over He's never in last 50 yrs gone against He's principals with pigeons but he's results are just unbelievable.

Is that a general championship
Would all the best at each discipline go in it

Say someone just liked sprinting you probably never win the top overall prize like fed averages
But could win 10 old bird races
Do the best sprinters go in the king of Antwerp or is it just like a fed averages we have that don’t always mean the best took part

Just didn’t know if that’s the main thing or more a thing where the sprint experts are not interested
I also don’t really think his yb selection is fair
In 2021 my ybs won the fed twice both them birds were poor after that season
Yet I had 7 cocks all win the fed in 22 and 23 bred in 21 that were just steady as ybs didn’t take much in prizes I think 2 got low fed cards as babies
His advice probably could lead a new starter to be to harsh on his yb team

You have to remember Neil their prize system is totally different to ours, most clubs in Belgium do 1 in 4 some 1 in 2 so it depends on your perspective of a good prize.

I see
so if say 800 went in the fed would 200 get what they look at as being in the prizes

Yes, in some clubs it’s 1 in 2 so 400.
