Flamingo International Challenge - 2010 Champion

[SmithFamilyLoft]

Most races and One loft events have been over for some time. One of the reasons why I have liked the Flamingo International Challenge, is they have their last race later in the year. And on these cold winter days, it is fun to have something to pay attention to. Their race might take place around the 9th of January, and it's the final leg of a series of races which have already taken place, including a 350 mile event. This is the remaining race, the 400 Mile event !! Here is their 12-27-2009 video update.

Hello Flamingo !!

Thank you for the best wishes. You guys do a great job down there, keep up the good work ! Perhaps a few members from Pigeon Talk will try their birds at your event in 2010 ! The 2009 average speed and Champion Breeder for the Winners Cup is one of our members here at Pigeon Talk.

Go 146!!!! You got a nice consistant bird there warren, might be a good one for a 400!! I hope you win!!

In the combine I fly with, there are a few of the Big Dogs that usually enter the Flamingo race because of the stature of doing well in it.

I hope to enter it as well next year. It seems to be one of the top three or four one loft races I have looked into. I plan on entering the Mercedez and the Flamingo next year after I know it all and have the best young birds in the world. Two flyers from my combine finished in the money in the Mercedez, but I haven't looked up their results in the Flamingo yet. Both of whom gave me some free birds when I joined the club as a newbie, and some really nice birds at that. I believe they are in the Flamingo but I honestly haven't check on that yet. It has quite a reputation for being run well, amongst my fellow combine members.

I have followed the Flamingo for two years and purchased a bird that finished in the money last year, for my breeding program. Just got two babies from her on Christmas day. The cock bird I put with her, finished in the money in the 2005 Mercedez classic and I expect good things from him and her.

On a side note. Spring Hill Florida seems to be "the place" to live to race pigeons in the U.S.. Man, I am sooo jealous of y'all down there. If only my wife didn't have those darn "hot flashes". I could be living down there. (you older married guys know what I am talking about).

Warren. Just to still have a bird or two in the mix speaks volumes about your program and breeders. Good luck this year (but not next year). Ha Ha

Yea you go and go fast 146. Welcome to PT Flamingo. You run a top notch race there and we are considering sending to it in 2010 as we wont be participating in the AU race this year. We Cant let SFLUSA just run away each year with all the loot so we'll have to see how the breeders do this year. Keep up the good work.

Ps. Thank you and your family for the service your son provides to keep us safe.

X2- I have never sent birds down there but love the website and your YouTube updates which I think is awesome! I always want to see who is winning these onelofts and the flamingo is on top of the list! There are many top notch flyers entering everyyear and ofcourse there's a reason for that! In the near future I will definetly get my birds into the Flamingo! Badabing badaboom. The location can't get any better 2!! Oh yea and welcome Flamingo!

I don't know how many of our readers subscribe to the Racing Pigeon Digest. But, if you turn to the Dec 15, 2009 issue, look on page 17, Flying Pigeons in Florida this was written by Jim Milligan.....who also happens to be one of our newest members here @ PT, AKA "Flamingo". So welcome Jim, we look forward to your posts. As one of the managers who runs the Flamingo International Challenge, and living in Spring Hill, I am looking forward to your perspectives on various pigeon matters.

Hello Jim Hale !

That is mighty fine sportsmenship on your part ! Thank you for your kind words. And since you are such a good sport, I tell you what I will do. If you win this race, I promise to help make you famous ! Pigeons which can complete this series of races, a 150, 200, 250, 350, and now a 400 Mile race, are the creme of the crop. Thank you for your post, my hat is off to you sir, you are a true gentlemen. Best wishes to you, and may the best bird win !

Think about it folks, an honest to goodness, series of 5 races totaling 1350 miles. Who will win the 400, and establish themselves as a serious International competitor ?! Looks like only about 50 birds have made the cut, and are able to make it to the 400, every entry who finishes, has made a certain name for himself, out of the hundreds of entries from across the country, starting in early 2009, it is now coming down to the final days and the big event !! Who will be the Champion ?
