Inland Sprint Racing 100km to 35okm
Here at Proudstown TT Lofts we have one of the best families of sprint pigeons in Europe. These have been bred by purchasing stock from Champion Breeders and Performers from the very best sprint lofts in Belgium.
Competing weekly, we race in partnership as Hayden & Thorpe, Section N of the Irish South Road Federation (ISRF) and Zeballos Thorpe, Section T. Our sprint family are not only winning for us but for other fanciers across Ireland and the UK.
Irish South Road Federation (ISRF) is considered one of the top competitive racing organisations in Europe, with weekly entries up to 10,000 birds. ISRF has approximately 600 members from the greater Dublin area, with all members restricted to a 50 bird Limit.
Proudstown TT Lofts have bred:
- 2 x Irish Champion Young bird
- 2 x Champion Young Bird
- 2 x 2nd Champion Young Bird
- 3rd & 4th Champion Young Bird
With many more Top 10 Champion Young Bird Winners, all within the last 5 years.
In other organisations within Ireland such as the NIPA, East Down Combine, Ulster Federation, East Coast Fed, South Leinster Fed etc. our family of sprint pigeons are well represented with notable fanciers either racing our birds or producing their racers from birds purchased from us and are producing top level results.
We believe if our pigeons are properly fed and trained, they can win against any racing pigeon in Europe.
Channel Racing 160km to 700km
This type of racing is seen by many as the ultimate test of pigeons and fanciers Many whom take part in this form of racing, believe that success is won in the breeding loft, as it takes a special type of pigeon to compete with some of the weather conditions they face, the distance and crossing the channel.
We competed in the Irish National Flying Club (INFC) Blue Riband Kings Cup prestigious race in 2015, first time ever, where we Won the race with "Bert's Girl", the fastest winning velocity, still to be beaten today!
We had to invest in different families of pigeons to our sprint birds, therefore focusing on bloodlines that have flown and won many channel races. These bloodlines are still winning today with top federation positions, including 2nd & 3rd INFC Yearling National.
“Flamenca” a G/Daughter of the legendary “Blauwe Leo” won 1st Open ISRF Old Bird Talbenny for (Zeballos Thorpe).
Whilst we have mainly concentrated on sprint racing, we aim to focus on channel racing as well going forward.
