GOLDEN RACE ALGARVE- MILLION EURO PIGEON RACE

After contacting the official Golden Race meteorologist, we were informed that tomorrow Wednesday 8/10/2022, we would have many difficulties to release in Mertola due to fog at the release place and all the way to the loft.
So we decided to change the training to Thursday, August 11th, because better conditions are foreseen to the release and also on the way back to the loft.
Thank you for understanding

  We still have some pigeons in the loft that we don't know which team they belong to, so if it's one of your pigeons, or know who it is, we'd appreciate your information.
  Thanks.

First training 2022- Aerodrome, 3 km.
The first training at a distance of only 3 km from the loft served mainly for the pigeons to get used to the basketing process, to be inside the boxes for a few hours and to leave the boxes on the release, as the flight time does not matter much in the first trainings. Now the km are always increasing until the final Bragança 500km on 1 October.

BENZING LOFT LIST

- LIST PIGEONS THAT ARE IN LOFT ON 8 JULY 2022
After we have finished assigning the benzing chips to all the pigeons that were in the loft on July 8th, we publish the list.
In the first training we will check all the rings, to check if any pigeons that were lost in the first flights around the loft have returned, and we will assign a chip.
Unfortunately, from the entered 7,120 pigeons, and after the quarantine period and the first flights around the loft, 328 will not start training, which we regret, but we did our best, and so 6,792 are ready to start the long walk to final Bragança on 1 October 2022..
Good luck to everyone

GOLDEN RACE ALGARVE - MILLION EUROS PIGEON RACE

After entering the loft, the pigeons stayed 3 weeks in lofts separated by transport/Country, where they were vaccinated and all preventive treatments were carried out, then they were together in 3 parts, per month of entry, March, April and May.

This week the pigeons entered in May started to leave the loft and all the pigeons are now together and leaving freely, with all the lofts connected so the pigeons can go out freely, and with the help of the olders to start to know the area arround.

Next week the electronic chips will start to be acoplated to the Benzing system, and then intensive training will begin daily around the loft to prepare for the start of official training on 22 July.

After checking all the numbers of the pigeon rings and placing all the chips, we will publish a list of all the pigeons that are in the loft, and we will update the participants' personal accounts with the pigeons and payments.

If you do not know how to access your account, contact the email - golden.race.algarve@gmail.com , as the ring numbers will not be visible in the Benzing rankings, only the codes, for which you will need to access your personal account in order to see the code/ring connection

- In the office, all the staff is preparing the entry lists to publish and acoplate in Benzing sistem, checking the entry forms and the pigeons entered in the loft, but unfortunately not all participants send their entry forms, and so we have some pigeons in the loft that we do not know who belong.

GOLDEN RACE ALGARVE- MILLION EURO PIGEON RACE 2022

The Golden Race Algarve some time ago was invited by Mr Sergio Paulino, owner of the company Intercereais- Pet Cup, for a visit to his feed factory, INTERCEREAIS-PETCUP, located in Torres Vedras, near Lisbon.
The invitation was accepted and a few days ago Rui Emidio and Rogerio Germano visited the factory, and after a guided tour of the entire infrastructure, and checking all the high quality of the seeds and the modern equipment used, we found out why the Pet Cup is on its way to being (or already being) market leader in the sale of feed and products for pigeons in Portugal and Spain.
After the visit, there was a meeting with the factory management, and the nutritionist, and after some exchange of ideas about the composition of the feed that we wanted, because with the training and official races in the summer months and with the heat that normally is, we would have to avoid having seeds that make the pigeons thirsty, and to put seeds that keep the water longer, and a high quality formula with seeds for all the needs of pigeons was reached.
Thus, the Golden Race Algarve and the Pet Cup signed an agreement to supply food for the 2022 derby season, for the approximately 60,000 kg we spend annually, with a guarantee of the same quality throughout the season.

GOLDEN RACE ALGARVE- MILLION EURO PIGEONS RACE 2022

They are now coming to the small voliere on top of the entry skate, to learn the entry site and start looking at the surrounding area. In a few days, the large Voliere will be installed, where they will spend a few days before leaving for the first flights around the loft.
For entries in April and May, the same system will be used.
