This bird is AU-2024-APRU-18788.  He was trained and raced out to 270 miles as a yb to ensure he had a brain in his head.   

Miss Maurice needs no introduction and has been winning and placing in OLRs around the world.  She is now breeding at Lamon's studd.

Sire to this bird was bred by Maurice O'Donnell in Ireland from a FULL BROTHER & SISTER of Miss Maurice mating.    Star Boy the Mike Ganus Cock is the sire to both these parents and of course is also the sire of Miss Debbie and Miss Maurice.   Note:  While Star Boy was bred in Belgium he was purchased as a yb by Maurice O'Donnell who successfully bred miss Maurice and other siblings from him before Karl Donnelly of Jackpot lofts in Avoca Ireland got him.  Mike Ganus then ended up buying Star Boy from Karl and brough him to America.  The original breeder of Star Boy was Van Ouwerker-Dekker in Belgium and while Star Boy's offspring are doing really well in the major OLRs around the world the little known fact is that this blood is distance, Barcelona, 700 miles blood.

The dam of 18788 clocked on the second morning from 507 miles as did it's half brother.  The half brother went on to clock out of 611miles. The Dam's dam is line bred to Vljeke the most famous grandson to the reknowned Dolle both of whom were own and flown by the van Geel's in Holland.
