Final Race 01/02/2020 Part 2 -

Post by willie reynolds »

***SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT*** I am sorry that I can’t add all the information about
who bred all the pigeons or where they live but I can only publish details which I am
in possession of. If there are no details besides your winning pigeon or pigeons then please contact me on reglofts@aol.com with your details and I will include these in
my later International Press Reports. I personally do like to give all the fanciers,
entrants and breeders all the credit they and their pigeons deserve when they
manage to get in the results so your help in this matter will be greatly appreciated.

THE SAMDPR AUCTIONS of the top 50 winning pigeons had in the early years taken place the day after the race but this year once again it was decided to hold the auction two weeks after the race and run the auction from Emerald Resort, Casino & Hotel on Saturday 15th February 2020 which will start at 11.00 South African time. This gives the pigeons a chance to recover and also to be photographed before the pigeons are put online on the SAMDPR Auction Site. Hein Beneke (Auctioneer) was appointed to do the auction and at the same time we would also allow telephone bidding.

The top 50 winning pigeons were placed on the SAMDPR Website Auction Site on their Home Page and this gave fanciers from all over the world an opportunity to their place bids on any of these pigeons for nearly two weeks prior to the actual auction taking place. These bids that were placed online would then be the opening bid when Hein opened the actual auction. The Top 50 pigeons would be shown on LIVESTREAM and then people in the room and phone bids would be accepted and the highest bidder would purchase the pigeon. Unfortunately, the pigeons that won 50th Position was not in good enough condition to auction, so this will be auctioned at a later date.

Currently there will around 36 auctions in total of 14 pigeons at different venues all over South Africa and all can be seen by logging onto www.samdpr.com and looking for the Auction Section of the right hand side of the Home Page or hitting the Auction button at the bottom of the Home Page. These auctions will go on to about 25th April 2020. This will show you where all the pigeons are being auctioned. So far there are nearly 700 pigeons to be offered for sale, so more auctions may be introduced or some of them will be given more pigeons to auction. If you wish to place a “BID” you can do so by filling in an “AUCTION REPORT FORM” which is on the SAMDPR Website for downloading. Depending if more pigeons arrive home later, then these extra pigeons may be added to the auctions already listed, please keep your eyes open to see where your pigeon/s are being sold. As usual the Emerald Resort, Casino & Hotel had many fanciers from all over South Africa attending and with many open phone lines which encouraged fanciers from all over the world to place their bids. The pigeons would be auctioned starting from 1st to 49th positions.

This once again just goes to show the great value that top fanciers from all over the world put on pigeons that compete and win in the SAMDPR. Of course a BIG THANK YOU goes to HEIN BENEKE for his auctioneering skills and of course all the other SAMDPR staff and others that helped and assisted during the time it took to sell all these 49 top class winning pigeons, plus of course all pigeon fanciers from literally all over the world that placed bids and to those fanciers that were lucky enough to purchase any of these top class pigeons.

please contact me as soon as possible on 01279-812005 or my mobile number 07860-568216 or SMS or email on reglofts@aol.com and I will give you all the information that you require.

Please let me know ASAP if you would like to enter and how many pigeons you wish to enter into The 25th SAMDPR. Your help in this matter will be greatly appreciated. Please contact me by home telephone 01279-812005, mobile 07860-568216 or SMS or email reglofts@aol.com and I will be only too pleased to send you out a PRESENTATION PACK, that contains ENTRY FORMS and everything else you need to know about the race.

Once again the “HITS” on the SAMDPR Web Site have been remarkable to say the
least and as soon as I get confirmed figures I will report them in a later International Press Release for all to see. In past years they have exceeded 80 million “HITS”. So once again this year I expect a figure in excess of 100 million “HITS” during the year.

If you wish to see photographs or short videos of things that happened during the 2019/20 race season, then please log onto the state of the art SAMDPR Website www.samdpr.com and you can see a selection of photographs and top class short videos for all to see.

Many great statements over the years have been given or written by actual race
winners but the one that really stands out for me is what a past winner FILIP
NORMAN from BELGIUM said “That winning the Million Dollar Pigeon Race was better than winning his two Barcelona Nationals”. This just goes to show how important the SAMDPR is to the race winner wherever they come from.

IF ANY PIGEON FANCIER IN THE UNITED KINGDOM OR IN FACT ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD WOULD LIKE TO RECEIVE MY WEEKLY “INTERNATIONAL PRESS RELEASES”, “NEWSLETTERS” AND “UPDATES” BY EMAIL, THEN ALL THEY HAVE TO DO IS EMAIL ME THEIR ACTUAL EMAIL ADDRESS AND I WILL PUT THEM ON MY EMAIL DATABASE AND I WILL THEN FORWARD THEM ALL THE INFORMATION BY EMAIL ON A REGULAR BASIS.

It would be remiss of me not to personally thank Gary Lance the owner of Heron Banks Golf & River Estate and the Emerald Resort, Casino & Hotel and all the staff for the use of this fantastic venue, everything was outstanding to say the least and I know that everybody that visited the race this year really enjoyed this great place where everybody made you feel so welcome.

One thing is still for sure The South African Million Dollar Pigeon Race is still the best and biggest one loft pigeon race in the world today and is the one that top fanciers all over the world want to do well in. It is run by a team of professionals and has paid out every dollar of its projected prize money every year for the past 24 years. One thing is for sure with this great race, that if you are lucky enough to get a top position in the Final Race, your pigeon or pigeons are really well rewarded. So why not enter some of your top class pigeons into The 25th SAMDPR or try to form a syndicate with your Club, Federation, Combine or National top flyers. Many fanciers from all over the world have scored in this prestigious race and in the 25th ANNIVERSARY SAMDPR it could be your turn to hit the “JACKPOT” but first you have to enter some pigeons or be in it to win it. Once again, I am once again already looking forward to The 25th South African Million Dollar Pigeon Race.

Numerous “Loft Reports”, “Updates”, “Photographs” and “Videos” have been placed on the informative state of the art SAMDPR website for all to see and these are all available now on the dedicated website www.samdpr.com

Although the race is now named THE SOUTH AFRICAN MILLION DOLLAR PIGEON RACE, the total to be paid out in cash and prizes in the 2019/20 race series exceeds US$2.2 Million American Dollars or approximately £1.76 Million Pounds Sterling. No other one-loft race in the world today can boast of such massive pay outs and this race is now moving into its twenty fifth year and has for the last twenty four year’s paid out all of its projected prize money, that is why its reputation of this great race has increased, plus it has already paid out in the last twenty four races, prize money in excess of US$45 Million American Dollars (£32 Million Pounds Sterling), which is a remarkable achievement in itself in one loft racing and one that the race organisers are very proud of. It should also be mentioned that the Prize Money and Awards in The 24th SOUTH AFRICAN MILLION DOLLAR PIGEON RACE were slightly higher than as paid out for The 23rd SAMDPR. The FINAL RACE PRIZE MONEY paid out in the 23rd SAMDPR exceeded US$1.02 Million American Dollars or around £816,000 Pounds Sterling.

All the United Kingdom Team fanciers/entrants and syndicate shareholders are all kept up to date with regular “INTERNATIONAL PRESS RELEASE” and “NEWSLETTERS” plus any of them can log on to the state of the art The South African Million Dollar Race web site:- www.samdpr.com and get all the information they might require over the full race series. You can’t change your pigeon’s name/s once training has started. You can even put all your pedigrees on live if you wish to, which certainly helps with the final selling price at the auction after the race. Remember the 2008 SCMDPR OVERALL ACE PIGEON named BIRDY sold for a staggering world record £53,730 and the breeder receives 50% of this figure after expenses. This really is a state of the art race that continues to improve its overall image on an annual basis and gives all pigeon fanciers and entrants all the information they need to know about all the pigeons that are in the race loft. Winning SAMDPR pigeons over the last few years have fetched figures of US$100,000 (£80,000). The pigeon that won 4th OPEN in the 23rd SAMDPR fetched a staggering ZAR1.3 MILLION SOUTH AFRICAN RANDS (US$96,726), (E83,925) or £73,571 STERLING. Just think next year it could be your time to hit the JACKPOT.

***SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT*** I am sorry that I can’t add all the information about who bred all the pigeons or where they live because I do not have access to all this information so I can only publish details which I am in possession of at the time. If there are no details besides your winning pigeon/s then please contact me on reglofts@aol.com with your details and I will include these in my later International Press Reports. I personally do my best to give all the fanciers, entrants and breeders all the credit they and their pigeons deserve when they manage to get in the results so your help in this matter will be greatly appreciated.

It should be mentioned that GLOBAL & COUNTRY/REGIONAL NOMINATIONS during the 2015/16 race series actually paid out a staggering total of US$546,280 (£437,000). In the Final Race a staggering US$272,890 (£218,312) was up for grabs. Every year new figures are reached. What will it be in the 24th SAMDPR?

*****WHAT COULD BE WON DURING THE 24th SAMDPR 2019/2020 RACE SERIES. The Prize Money for the FINAL RACE has been adjusted across the board with the top prizes increased. The total prize pay-out has also been increased. Prize monies for the 5 x HOT SPOT RACES, HOT SPOT ACE PIGEON and GRAND OVERALL AVERAGE winners have also been increased by a substantial amount. There will no longer be a New Motor Car for the first Activated Pigeon in the 5 x HOT SPOT RACES, now the winner will pick up a cool US$17,500 (approx. £14,000), there will also be 19 other cash prizes with a graduating distribution from 2nd to 20th positions. Prizes, Nominations and Special Awards now add up to a staggering US$2.2 Million American Dollars £1.76 Million Pounds Sterling). There will be 5 x HOT SPOT RACES and each will now offer a massive US$49,500 (approx. £39,600) split up as follows:- 1st US$17,500 (approx. £14,000), 2nd US$10,000 (approx. £8,000), 3rd US$5,000 (approx. £4,000), 4th US$2,500 (approx. £2,000), 5th US$2,000 (approx. £1,600), 6th/10th US$1,250 (approx. £1,000) each, 11th/15th US$750 (approx. £600) each, 16th/20th US$500 (approx. £400) each. Also a HOT SPOT ACE PIGEON AWARD with US$10,000 (approx. £8,000) 1st prize for the best pigeon in these 5 x HOT SPOT RACES. A 2-BIRD AVERAGE COMPETITION and a US$2,000 (approx. £1,600) Cash Prize in each of the 5 x HOT SPOT RACES & THE FINAL RACE. A 3-BIRD AVERAGE COMPETITION and a US$3,000 (approx. £2,400) Cash Prize in each of the 5 x HOT SPOT RACES & THE FINAL RACE. THE SOUTH AFRICAN MILLION DOLLAR GRAND AVERAGE ACE PIGEON AWARD now carries US$50,000 (approx. £40,000) in Prize Money, split into three super cash prizes with 1st US$25,000 (approx. £20,000), 2nd US$15,000 (approx. £12,000) and 3rd US$10,000 (approx. £8,000) Cash Prizes for the 3 pigeons with the best Overall Grand Average in all the Official Training Races over 50km (31 miles) and 5 x HOT SPOT RACES and THE FINAL RACE. There will also be a fantastic KNOCKOUT COMPETITION and US$25,000 (approx. £20,000) Prize Money, which starts on the HOT SPOT RACE 2 and the winner is the first one to be clocked in THE FINAL RACE (over the past few years there has been around 40/60 pigeons still left in this competition). ALL THIS INCREASED PRIZE MONEY SHOULD ENCOURAGE FANCIERS TO ACTIVATE THEIR RESERVE PIGEONS BEFORE HOT SPOT RACE 1, WHICH OF COURSE GIVES THEM ALL THE EXTRA CHANCES TO WIN ANY OF THE SPECIAL BIGGER CASH PRIZES. There will also be 3 x COUNTRY CASH PRIZES of US$125 (approx. £100), US$75 (approx. £60) and US$50 (approx. £50) in each of the first 4 x HOT SPOT RACES (1 to 4). In the 5th HOT SPOT RACE US$70 (approx. £56) from every entry will be added to the starting Prize Money of US$250 (approx. £200) for the COUNTRY CHALLENGE. All the Prize Money will be paid out to the first three COUNTRY CHALLENGE entered pigeons in a ratio of 50%, 30% & 20%. The SAMDPR website will have an up to the date listing of which pigeons are entered and how much Prize Money will be flown for, plus and an ACE PIGEON COUNTRY CHALLENGE which will be won on THE FINAL RACE. There is an Entry Fee of US$120 (approx. £96) per pigeon to enter these COUNTRY CHALLENGE COMPETITIONS and this has to be paid for before the basketing for the 3rd HOT SPOT RACE. The COUNTRY CHALLENGE ACE PIGEON, all countries participating will be given a US$200 (approx. £160) starting Prize Money and US$40 (approx. £32) from each COUNTRY CHALLENGE entry fee goes to the “WINNER TAKES ALL” cash prize, which will be awarded to the first COUNTRY CHALLENGE pigeon which is clocked in THE SOUTH AFRICAN MILLION DOLLAR PIGEON FINAL RACE. The pigeon that wins this award will be named the COUNTRY CHALLENGE ACE PIGEON. It should also be mentioned that during the 2016/2017 race series the UNITED KINGDOM COUNTRY CHALLENGE paid out £14,777 in PRIZE MONEY. In the 2018/2019 a total of over £15,000 in PRIZE MONEY and in the 2019/2020 race series we paid out a total of £14,050 in PRIZE MONEY. A GREAT EXTRA COMPETITION TO BE PART OF AND WELL DONE TO ALL THE WINNERS.

Then in THE FINAL RACE on the 1st February 2020 there are also 10 MAGNIFICENT GOLD MEDALS to be won, worth well over US$1,000 (approx. £800) each and now over US$1.40 Million American Dollars (approx. £1.12 Million Pounds) in Prize Money & Nominations and 300 cash prizes being on offer. The Prize Money quoted above is at £1.25 Sterling to the US$ Dollar, this may of course change in the run up to THE FINAL RACE.

*****ENTRY FEES:- for The 25th SAMDPR will remain at US$1,100 (approx. £880) per pigeon. This assists in increasing the prize monies as shown above as well as covers the cost of running the event and importing pigeons to the race. An initial entry fee of US1,850 (approx. £1,480) per team of 4 pigeons will be charged and will be made up as follows:- US$1,100 (approx. £880) for the primary Activation and 3 non-refundable US$250 (approx. £200) deposits for each of the 3 Reserve Pigeons. Any Reserve Pigeons can then be entered into the SAMDPR at any stage by paying the balance of US$850 (approx. £680) per pigeon.

*****REFUNDS:- Refunds for lost paid up Reserve Pigeon will be changed to US$750 (approx. £600).

*****FREE ENTRIES:- Free Entries from the previous season will be honoured and no initial fee will be charged on a Free Team, however the deposit of US$250 (£200) for each Reserve Pigeon needs to be paid when the pigeons are shipped. If any of the Reserve Pigeons need to be Activated, the entry fee of US$850 (£680) will need to be paid.

THE ZANDY MEYER MEMORIAL MERCEDES BENZ SLK CAR NOMINATION will have a US$1,000 (approx. £800) Entry Fee and took place on THE FINAL RACE on SATURDAY 1st FEBRUARY 2020 and the winning pigeon will win A BRAND NEW MERCEDES BENZ SLK MOTOR CAR, worth a staggering US$85,000 (approx. £68,000). (PROVIDING THEY GET 100 PAID ENTRIES), (IF NOT A CASH PRIZE WILL BE PAID OUT TO THE WINNER). (ONLY “ACTIVATED” PIGEONS ARE ELIGIBLE TO COMPETE FOR ANY OF THESE SPECIAL CASH PRIZES OR AWARDS). This new competition was very well supported in its first year and had over 160 entries and was so successful that it also paid out a staggering 2nd prize of US$54,000 cash. Do not miss this fantastic opportunity to win a fabulous new car. The 19th SAMDPR attracted about 140 entries and two staggering prizes were once again won by two worthy winners. The 20th SAMDPR attracted over 100 entries and the US$85,000 (approx. £68,000) was won by Lloyd & Kelly from the UK, who actually won 37th OPEN in THE FINAL RACE. It was the first Activated pigeons and walked away with the top award. In The 21st SAMDPR Michael Mellor from Crewe was the runner-up for this prestigious award, with over 100 entries, which once again just goes to show that the UK pigeons will hold their own against the best pigeons in the world.

Something else worth mentioning that seven brand new motor cars have been won by fanciers representing the United Kingdom Team in the last few years, Robbie Prettejohn and Chris Gordon both won new motor cars during the 2005/6 race series and Paul & Dave McCarthy won one a new motor car during the 2006/7 series. During the 2011/12 race series fanciers from the United Kingdom won a staggering 3 x brand new motor cars and these were won by Nev & Angi Evans & Steve Cuthbert, Robert & Peter Montila and then Phil Bond. This in itself was an outstanding team performance. No other country has ever won three cars on the trot. The Irish fancier named John Nash also won a brand new motor car in the 2008/9 race series. Fantastic news, ALISTAIR HOGG has also won a BRAND NEW MOTOR CAR in HSCR2 in the 2017/18 race series. WELL DONE ALISTAIR AND TO ALL THE OTHER WINNERS.
