However, your pigeons will need to be with me on SATURDAY 8th, SUNDAY 9th or MONDAY 10th JUNE 2013. This shipping date is later than the last few years and is due to the lofts not being open to take pigeons at an earlier date because of enforced new quarantine regulations.

The race date for The 18th South African Million Dollar Pigeon Race has now been confirmed as SATURDAY 25th JANUARY 2014.

If you lose your Activated (No. 1) pigeon, then your No. 2 pigeon goes into the race at no cost to you and then if you lost your No. 2 pigeon then your No. 3 would go into the race at no cost to you. If you were unlucky enough to lose all three pigeon s then you get a “FREE ENTRY” for the 19th SAMDPR in 2014. You only get one “FREE PIGEON” in the race and any of the Reserves can then be purchased by the owner for US$1,000 each anytime up to 7 days after the Car Race Hot Spot 5.
