INFC Penzance YB Grand Nat - 10/09/22

Post by willie reynolds »

The INFC Penzance YB National was held on Saturday 10th September with the 1483 birds released at 08.02am in light northerly winds. Locally the best birds were timed by Danny Dixon of Dunloy who clocked five birds on the day to take the top five position in the Mid Antrim Combine and 9th, 11th, 30th, 70th & 74th Open INFC National. Danny's first bird timed at 16.13pm flying 339 miles was also placed 14th Section & 172nd Open in the Talbenny YB National a few weeks ago. She is a direct daughter of Danny's 2010 Penzance YB National winner "Dixie Chick". The winners sire is a son of Danny's good Belgie Wildermersch Cock and is also a grandson of "Dixie Chick". Danny's second bird was timed 21 minutes. The sire is a son of his good Belgie Cock when paired to a daughter of Martin Graham's Famous "Big Hen". The dams sire is a son of Dixie Chick when paired to a grandson of Lady Helen and the dams mother is a daughter of Dixie Chick when paired to Belgie Cock. Henry Turkington of Kells & District clocked two birds the next morning in the rain to win 142nd & 159th Open. The first of these game birds was a small classy chequer hen. The sire from Anthony and Norman Lewis of Doagh and is from their 9th Open INFC Penzance YB National bird and the dam from Aaron Murtagh of Armagh and is a granddaughter of Aaron's two birds that won the Harkness Rose Bowl for the best 2 bird average in the INFC OB National Kings Cup a few years ago. Joey Wright of Ballymena & District had the only other local bird in the Open result winning 7th Combine and 156th Open and like Danny's first bird and Henry's bird it also flew the Talbenny YB National a few week ago. Joey's blue chequer cock looking at a hen is bred from the very best of N Black & Sons of Dromara stock. Joey has just returned to the sport after a 40 year absence and while racing in the past he won many top national positions including 2nd Open Friendship National Beauvais in 1975 and the following year with the same Mosaic cock 6th Open Kings Cup National from Rennes and he has also topped the NIPA Open in a young bird race from Arklow with over 30,000 birds competing.
