Racing Pigeon Auction Reduction Due to Property Sale of

Philip Almond All foundation Stock Birds are being sold

Sunday 14th September, 2014 Wynnum Manly Club Rooms 1485 Old Cleveland Rd, Belmont Viewing from 9am, sale starts 11am sharp For further information please contact: Philip Almond 0422 813 896 Philip Trevethan 07 5498 5863 Shaun Elliot 0418 744 835 (venue manager) Phone bids can be made. Contacts will be provided later Auctioneer: Danny Warry Email: philip.almond@gmail.com

Preface Reason for the Sale Due to the imminent sale of our property in Redcliffe I am forced to reduce the number of birds that I keep to about 10 pairs. I intend to retain some birds to breed for One Loft Races and Breeders Plates.

I will not be racing for at least 3 years, and due to work commitments. I have not raced this season and only flew the Kings Cup Breeders Plate last year.

So that other pigeon enthusiast have the opportunity to breed from the best of my birds, instead of them sitting more or less unused, over the next few years I have decided to sell most of them now.

All the foundation birds are being sold. Some of them have produced spectacularly in Australia and Internationally.

The older stock still has a good 5-10 years left in them and the younger birds that I have raced or trained will be able to be bred from for a long time to come. Some of the older birds can be foundations for new lofts or enhance the performance of existing lofts, such is their quality.

Middle to Long Distance Focus First, let me say that I don’t want plodders. My focus has been on trying to win long races on the day. These days if you don’t clock on the day (or during the night), even from 600 to 700 miles, you generally can’t win. I have developed birds that will meet this need.

I would like to take the opportunity to thank Alf del Brocco for some of the best birds I have ever owned that have contributed heavily towards these goals.

Those people who race with me, and other people who race my birds, recognize that the lines of birds I have created need very little maintenance to perform well above the average. I neither had the time to work the birds hard in training, or the inclination to medicate them. They largely do what they do on their own.

For those people buying my birds this means that they will get naturally robust birds. Be patient with these birds because they are better two year olds than young birds. Treat them well and they will reward you for many years. I flew one hen for 6 years in the QRPF. In her 6th year she won 12th fed Windorah – then I stocked her.

My focus and interest has been on the races from 350 miles upwards. The shorter races hold no interest for me at all. I do not even bother to electronically band birds until they

get to Rockhampton. Because the race programs are heavily weighted to the shorter races it means that I don’t fly many races each season, I often jump birds from 180km to 600km and expect them to be in the front packs. Birds treated in this way have been nominated and won the money.

Through the application of intellect and severe selection I have produced the type of birds that reliably achieve success in the races that I target. It took 10 years to achieve this goal. As a buyer, you can reap the rewards of my efforts immediately, without the wait.

Over the past few years, due to not being able to race myself, I have partnered with Philip Trevethan and David Zhao in Murrumba Syndicate. We race under this name in the North Road Combine from Phil Trevethans loft and in One Loft races and Breeders Plates in Australia and Internationally (in the South African Million Dollar Pigeon Race).

My birds have also been raced or bred from successfully by others, like Danny Warry (our Auctioneer) in QLD, Dennis Russell in Adelaide, Machar and Wojack in the VHA and Vince and Carlos Pedavoli in the Cumberland Fed, NSW, not to mention the many successes in the SAMDPR.

Result Highlights It's probably best to let the birds that Murrumba Syndicate fly ‘do the talking’ with some highlighted results in Australian and International competition.

Note that these performances are current. They are not dusty old history from yester-year!

2nd Section Thargomindah 12th Fed Windorah 1st Queens Cup winner for Phil Trevethan 2nd Fed Townsville for Phil Trevethan 4th and 5th Fed Townsville winners

Key Lines I have developed several lines of birds that perform in the One Loft Races and the Club & Combine races that I am interested in - from 350 miles upwards. They are: • • • • •

Jan Aarden based Oscar Devriendt Van Loon Long Distance Janssen, based around Phil Trevethan's Townsville cock A smattering of Gaby & Houben

Some of these families are not well known. Some are completely unknown, but they have all been selected to perform in slightly different niches. They are all important to the goal I set out to achieve.

Genetic Diversity It is vitally important that every loft has genetic diversity. It gives you the ammunition to compete at most distances and all but the most extreme weather conditions.

For example, the Jan Aardens handle difficult head wind races. The Deveriendts love shoulder winds and higher velocities and the Van Loons like head winds and have a special performance window from 300 to 400 miles. People who specialize on certain lines paint themselves into a performance corner.

Mitcochondrial DNA In the catalog following, you will note that the common Mitochondrial DNA ancestor is recorded.

Why is this important?

Mitochondria is a symbiotic 'parasite' that has evolved with warm blooded life. It works symbiotically with the host to generate energy in a process known as the ATP cycle. It is in effect the 'Power Cell' for ourselves and our birds.

Importantly Mitochondria can ONLY be passed down by females, in the egg (ovum).

The male can make no contribution to this. He simply inherits what he gets, and because he does not lay eggs, he can not pass on his Mitochondria.

The really important implication is that if you want robust birds, with the right 'power cells' you must focus on the Mitochondrial DNA i.e. your hens. Some people know this intuitively, but this is the scientific explanation why you need to choose the right hens!

There are many other genetic factors that contribute to performance but the abaility to produce energy efficiently and effectively comes from the mother – and ONLY the mother!

I keep a very close track of this. When you are reviewing the birds below, you will note that some ancestors are very, very dominant. Look out for the influence in my birds of "Karelyn", 6226, 24077, 9983, etc.

Management All of these families perform well under my management. I am not a heavy trainer and the Vets make very little money from me. I also don’t spend a lot of time cleaning and use a powdered droppings floor, sometimes called ‘deep litter’.

My birds are all very sensible. The hens are often very affectionate.

Given my ‘free and easy’ management system, the birds nearly always exceed my expectations.

If this is the type of bird you need or want, then spend the time to have a good look through this catalogue.

Pedigrees Full pedigrees are available for most of the ancestors and can be downloaded from: https://www.dropbox.com/home/Public/Auction 2014 If any pedigrees are not there, please email me on philip.almond@gmail.com and let me know and I will upload them (if I have them).

Enjoy reviewing the catalog and feel free to ask any questions by phone or email

The Star of the Loft Every loft has a Star. 8847 is mine. He is the best bird I have ever had the privilege to own since I started racing pigeons in 1974. He is now 10 years old but he is still robust and never misses filling an egg. He is available for sale with a reserve. He is the only bird in the Auction with a reserve price.

QRPF-04-8847 Aarden/Huskens van Riel 2nd Club, 4th Sect Thargomindah. G.Son of foundation cock 200479 and foundation hen 8569.

8847 is versatile and prepotent!

• • • • • • • •

• • • •

He raced well himself.

He has been successful breeding with almost any female line, including Houben, Janssen, Jan Aarden, Van Loon & Jos Thone.

His strike rate of good birds produced is extremely high He is robust and healthy and his children inherit this trait I have never seen him miss fertilising eggs!

He has bred Children, Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren to win He breeds well when crossed and when bred back closely to his own lines Most importantly his children, of both sexes, continue to breed. This has been proved many times over - examples are his sons 766 & 7994 and his daughter 10158 having all produced winners.

His children have won in all conditions (but prefer harder days) both locally and internationally (e.g. Sun City) His children have won at all distances from 200km to 1000+km His children descendants have won races for many people, all with differing management methods – a real testament of his versatility.

For those people interested in eyesign, 8847 has a dominant violet eye.

Some of his and his progeny's notable race performances are: • •

• • •

Sire of Pininfarina (hen): 1st National Hotspot 5, SCMDPR, Australia, 2008 Pininfarina was purchased at auction in South Africa by John van den Bos after the Sun City main race. She later bred John's clock bird from a difficult 990km race.

Sire of Liana (hen): Completed the 2008 Sun City race in a good position.

Liana is Pininfarina's nestmate sister.

Sire of Debbie (hen): 1st National Hotspot 5, SCMDPR, Australia, 2010 Sire of 10158 (hen): Bred for stock Dam of hen gifted to Danny Warry who was 1st Bowen, NRC, 2013.

G.Dam of Graeme Temperly's (Rockhampton club) clock bird from 600 miles in 2010. There were only 3 birds home in race time in this event.

Sire of 766 (cock): 1st North Section Rockhampton with 8847's son 766, in 2009.

Sire of hen gifted to Dave Hazelwood's who won 1st Rockhamption (506km) and 1st Marlborough.

Sire of hen who was 50th Adelaide Sires Produce in 2012 to a difficult loft position Sire of cock who was 11th Adelaide Sires produce in 2013 when there were only 14 day birds Sire of gifted cock who was Joe Reeves clock bird from Gladstone 1st Series NRC, 2014 (brother of the 50th Adelaide Sires Produce) Sire of 7994 (cock) "Mongo's Daddy" - gifted to David Zhao Sire of Mongo (cock): Raced very creditably and consistently in the extremely difficult Sun City race in 2011 for Keith Huckle of WA. Mongo was the first baby ever produced by 7994 and he finished 2737th in Car Race 1, 1157th in Car Race 2, 2559th in Car Race 3, 403rd in the very tough Car Race 4, 893rd in Car Race 5 and 731st in the main race.

Sire of hen 1st Kyabram One Loft Race, 4th September, 2011, winning $7000 Sire of hen NRC-11-2306 (lot 14 in this sale) was 23rd Gold Coast 50000 for Alf del Brocco Sire of 68th QLD10000 in 2010 for David Zhao Sire of minor position in the QLD10000, 2010 for David Zhao Sire of Murrumba Syndicates most reliable young race hen in 2013 twice first to the loft and once 2nd was from a hen of the old Sion lines Sire of Waddles (hen): Sister of 2599 & 7994 has bred several clock birds for Steve Johnston in the QPF, including 1st Jackson Fed. The sire of Robbie Stuckey's good hen QPF-10-12735 (bred by Paul Spalding) was from a half brother/sister mating from 8847. The dam was Waddles. The performances of Robbies hen were: 9th Rockhampton, 29th August, 502km 2nd Gladstone, 20th August, 408km 19th Agnes Waters, 23rd July, 19, 360km 2nd Maryborough, 4th June, 206km

8847 progeny - a Remarkable Performance in 2013 Adelaide Sires Produce Race

In the Smash Adelaide Sire Produce in 2013 there were only 14 day birds and less than 60 birds homed in race time from the 334 birds sent. 8847 had 5 Grandchildren in the race and 4 were in the top prizes!! They were placed 11th, 21st, 42nd and 51st.

The last of his Grand children homed just out of race time - 5 home from 5 sent! This is a fantastic breeding performance by any measure!

Other notable performances of 8847’s progeny are: 2nd and 3rd places in the NRC Young Bird Derby in 2013 for Danny Warry and Wayne Buckingham, respectively.

The highlight for me however was Danny Warry’s 1st NRC Club, 4th Combine from Bowen (952km) with a young Blue Bar hen from 8847’s daughter, 10158!

The Townsville Cock In addition to this Jan Aarden line the Murrumba Syndicate maintains a long distance Janssen line bred around "The Townsville cock", - 2nd QRPF Fed 700 miles for Phil Trevethan.

He is a very inbred bird that is mostly Janssen of the Jan Louis/Sheer Elegance lines with some other introductions. He is a magnificent long caste bird that breeds as well as he raced.

Notably, the Townsville cock is the sire of several major prizes in the Sun City Million Dollar Pigeon race, including 1st National Australia in 2009 (Stephanie), 76th overall in 2010 (William Lang) and 76th overall in 2011 with Lesley. Lesley was bred

by John van den Bos in South Africa from Stephanie, our 2009 prize winner.

The Devriendts The Devriendts are an old, but very prepotent family that is suited to faster day races.

They were imported by Paul Rose (NSW) from the USA, from Campbell Strange. I have a lot of material on them if people are interested. They will add vigour to any family.

Stephanie’s mother is a Devriendt hen. Devriendts have also won 9th and 8th SAMDPR positions in the main race. These winners come from are the same lines I keep.

The old saying that ‘the apple does not fall far from the tree’ is clearly evident with all of these successful families.

She would be a great option to re-pair to 8847 (Lot 8). She was my clock bird from Windorah. She is a heavily inbred performance pigoen, which makes her even more valuable. She is the dam of champion stock hen 10158 (dam of Danny Warry's Bowen winner, 2013) and G.dam of many other reliable birds.

She has a beautiful classic Jan Aarden eye. Eyesign experts tell me she has an eye to die for. She is worth investing in despite her age as she has a number of years breeding left in her.

Special blended Aarden sub-family This sub-family has been bred to excel at middle distance races to 400 miles but they have also proved capable of breeding birds to fly 600 miles on tough days. They are an extremely versatile and pre-potent little group of birds. Other than one cock on long term loan to Steve Johnson, all the key birds are here. Due to circumstances, very few have ever been bred from these lines. This would be a perfect line for someone to adopt and build their own family from.

Here's what Vince said about '43's sister: "The hen that you stated was a 'stock bird' when you sent her down has produced a hen that won both Campbelltown squeaker sale races for Carlo (about $7,000 I think). I do not enter these races, but I breed them for my brother. What is even better is that in the second of these wins she came 2nd Fed in a field of about 4,000 birds. Even better her brother finished just behind her and would have taken 4th Fed in the same race. I only bred two - many more this year! Some other good performances, but I cannot remember. That was the stand out."

Houben I introduced a single Houben hen in 2008. I contacted Neil Machar and asked him to mate two birds for me for the purposes of improving our Sun City race chances.

Cock

Bred by: P. Trevethan

Devriendt The Devriendts are an amazing line of birds that have been inbred for over 50 years. They add body and courage to any family and have never failed to improve a family. Because they are so inbred they don't generally race as well as they breed., though there are some exceptions to the rule. I won NRC Marlborough by 6 minutes with a hen that was incredibly inbred. She also bred well. She was loaned out to Steve Beverley as a cross for his Van Loons. The most productive cross has been Gaby/Devriendt.

This young cock is bred in the purple. His father was bred for stock and has produced clock birds from Marlborough. His mother was 10th equivalent Shell Harbour (600 miles) smash race. Her sisters were great racers and even better breeders. He was bred for Sun City but we decided not to send bird in 2013 so was retained. He was trained to Maryborough. The imported Canadian cocks are on both sides of this young cock and the female lines are the best we have. He is a personal favourite of mine because of his great temperament and intelligence.

This is a proven race and breeding line.

Long Distance Lines We have been blending a long distance Janssen line, based around Phil Trevethan's 2nd Fed Townsville (700 mile) winner in 2005 - known as the 'Towsnville Cock' (TC). Introductions of some other well performed birds have also been made or are being trialled. The introductions are presented first below. Our goal was/is to breed a line of birds that has a very high strike rate in the breeding box. Nowadays if you dont clock on the day or in the night you simply don't win so we need a type of bird that can do this without having to be flogged in the training crate. The Janssens have this ability, though few people expect them to be able to fly the long races - but they can and they do!

Her dam is the sister of 3rd NRC Mackay (500 miles) and she is an aunt of the hen that I clocked just after midnight in the same race being 3rd and 4th birds into Brisbane. Like her half brother, lot 91, she is expressing the slate colouration from the Sheer Elegance lines. This hen has "stock bird" written all over her.

BB Hen TC/Grange/Aarden/Devriendt MT-DNA: Karelyn Bred by: P. Almond NRC-11-2667 Mealy 2nd Fed Townsville x 4th Fed Townsville, paired to sister of Grange SCMDPR-09-785 BC Sister of Debbie, 1st Nationmal Hotspot 5 Sun City winning $5000 This hen has not been trained. Her sister flew exceptionally well in Adelaide for Dennis Russell, being with his clock bird from Marla 1000km. A sister was 5th Combine Gladstone, August 2014, for Origin Lofts. The dam has all my best birds in her breeding, including the best pigeon I have ever owned - 8847. The sires line is also impeccable, including 2nd Fed Townsville, 4th Fed Townsville and Imagen, sister of Grange the famous South Australian long distance Goodger hen. Sister to Lot 84.

Gaby & Crosses I have very few Gaby birds. They are from various sources, including a cock that was gifted to me by Hazelwood & Jones. The Gaby mother of this cock was the dam of Mr H (Boshua/Gaby), 10th SCMDPR Main race.

These few birds would be good to pair back to the Jan Aardens or back to different Gaby lines. They are a wonderful cross to the Devriendt family. This Devriendt/Gaby cross performed incrediby for Phil Trevethan in the 2013 season, winning 1st from Bundaberg, Marlborough Breeders Plate and St Lawrence National.

Dam Notes:

QPF-06-10176 BCP Aarden hen from foundation cock. One of my best ever race and stock hens.

This cock was won 27th GC50000, being clocked on the 2nd day when only 50 birds homed in total. He is a really nice type of cock. He has children racing this year in various one loft races and breeders plates. His mother has been one of my best ever race hens being 1st to the loft 3 years running from St Lawrence (400 miles). She bred 3rd St Lawrence and 27th GC50000. Her mother raced until she was 6 years old winning 12th Fed Windorah in her 6th year. A brother of this cock was my clock bird from Marlborough (350 miles) at his first race start. Unfortunately he was killed by my resident Falcon.

Blue Cheq Hen David Gaby x Cassaert MT-DNA: 0 Bred by: P. Almond PRF-10-5958 BB Gaby. Bred by Jack van der Linden QPF-10-2443 BB Cassaert Bred by Phil Trevethan. I named her Edith (as in Edith Piaf) because she was a 'little sparrow' when she was young. She has developed into a very nice long distance type of hen.

She was trained but not raced. I do not have any details on the Dam who was on loan to Phil from Dennis Martens.
