1st Ace Long Distance Oklahoma 2005

American Racing Pigeon Union

SAN ANTONIO QUEEN was bred from a unique pair of foundation breeders.  Her Sire is a Herbot cock from Jack Gordy with four 1st prizes (Jack and Bill Hill imported the first Herbot pigeons into the US in the early 1990s)  crossed on an Antoine Jacops hen that was bred from his DIAMOND PAIR which would have made her a full sister to the SUPER ACE, the DIAMOND ACE, and the WITPEN ACE - among other children of this incredible pair of super breeders.  The Dam of SAN ANTONIO QUEEN, 886-92. is a fabulous breeder out of Antoine Jacops best imports.  Her father was an oustanding racing son of the KLEINE CAHORS that was given to me by Antoine Jacops.  The mother was purchased out of Antoine's breeding loft in Belgium and is a daughter of Antoine's original MINIEM, a long distance 1st Ace Pigeon in the Antwerp Union.    SAN ANTONIO QUEEN's nest sister, 19212 was also a great racer and breeder.  19212 bred AU 05 LAMBERTON 51 Blue Cock, and an AU Champion.  Her sisters 711 and 712 from 2001 were super racers and breeders.  711 bred the FIRST DIAMOND that is an AU Champion #1695.  Her brother 191 from 2005 bred MAVERICK, an AU Champion #1692.  A granddaughter of the FIRST DIAMOND, AU 07 TEAM 26, was an excellent racer and was sold to a fancier in Hawaii where she bred the best young bird in Hawaii in 2007. This is an excellent family of fast, tough, and powerful  short, middle and long distance racing pigeons.
