GFL 23 468 Blue Cock

Right before the IF Convention, Mike Ganus called and said that he had a really special cock that I should consider for my breeding loft. I told Mike, that if he thinks the cock is nice to put him in the box and I will send him the check. When I pulled this cock out of the box, I could see exactly what he was talking about. Very nice cock of two super pigeons! 

Sire is a good breeding brother of 'Night Angel' who was 1st SAMDPR with only 3 day birds. Night Angel blood is taking over the One Loft Racing scene since Night Angel won the race. 

Dam is 'African Rocket' the 1st Ace pigeon of Victoria Falls. A direct daughter of Jorge Kong, making her a half sister to the famous 'Raven'!  Dam is direct from the hit pair of PIPA Elite Center, Tarzan x New Patricia, which is their arguable #1 or #2 foundation pair. 

I was fortunate enough to have Mike and his wife Debbie Ganus visit the lofts in June of 2023. We talked about bringing in something special after he visited, and he went home and sent me a picture of this hen. I told him I do not care how she was bred, if he thought she was nice then I will take her. Boy did he pick a nice one! 'Surprise Me' is as nice as they come in the hands. Mike is one of the best in the sport for a reason, he can pick a good pigeon! 

Sire is 'Marple' who was 1st Place Victoria Falls by 54 minutes. All the best Romario lines, which is also behind the famous 'Thomas 6' who won Golden Algarve the year before. 

Dam is arguably one of his top 3 breeding hens, 'Halover' who was 1st Place SAMDPR Final Race. She has bred so many winners around the world in her time it is silly. She is a game changing hen for many lofts around the globe!

Lot 1 of the Hoosier Auction. I called Mike and asked what he thought of her. I have always had a soft spot for Mokolo and figured there was no better time to bring one in. I had some good friends handle her and they all said the same thing: she is SUPER! 

Sire is one of the best children of Abigail and Said in Spun Silver. This makes him a half brother to 'Mike Has a Very Good One'. A super breeding cock. 

Dam is direct from Mokolo back to his mother Abigail. This makes the dam an inbred half sister of 'Mike Has a Very Good One'. Mike would never pair Mokolo back to Abigail if he wasnt a super cock. Many of the dams siblings are off breeding winners now and I am excited to see what Miss Mokolo can do in the breeding loft!

280 was brought in to cross into our African pigeons and to our Perfect Diamond pigeons. She was brought down from Canada by Jesse and brought to the lofts the day before the IF Convention. She is as nice as they come right off his top breeders. 

Sire is 'Logan' probably the best breeding son of Wolverine in Canada. He is behind generations of winners. 

Dam is 'Marvel' daughter of Wolverine mated to 'Diamond Girl', the mother to 'Simply The Best' who was 1st Ace Pigeon Hoosier Classic 2018.
