via International Marathon Aces

Up to and including Sunday 26^th of February on www.toppigeons.nl

A unique collection of the very best from probably the best fancier at the morning international liberations ZLU over the past twenty years winning numerous early prizes!

Many champions built their lofts on this strain of birds!

Cas van der Graaff and Son

Arnemuiden

Cas van der Graaff is a living legend from the long distance, especially the tough International morning liberations  (the ZLU races) has enjoyed the preference of this icon. Multiple long distance championships, winner of the National Marathon, numerous early placing’s  in the National Marathon and the West European Super Marathon, several FBZ championships etc. etc.

Stars of the super long distance!! Many arrivals on the day of liberation from the tough international ZLU classics from race points between 800 and 1000km.

The super long distance races between 800 and 1000km. have become his favourite discipline and he is notorious for clocking birds late in the evening on the first day. Races from the likes of Bordeaux ZLU, Tarbes, Narbonne, Perpignan etc

On the occasions that only nine or ten birds were clocked in you can bet the shirt on your back that Cas has clocked one or more arrivals. And Cas races only a small team of pigeons!

A small team of widowhood cocks and several natural hens is his total capacity. Each year he breeds about 25 youngsters for himself!

A phenomenon with a loft full of cold killers! Cas is a genuine tradesman of a fancier and is known for his ruthless selection of his birds. This is probably the secret that brings him so much success!

He has achieved many top rankings like:

  2^nd Nat. Dax ZLU

  4^th Nat. Pau
