VIEWING WILL COMMENCE AT 12 NOON SALE WILL START AT 1pm PROMPT 

THIS IS THE BEST VENUE IN BLACKPOOL WITH PLENTY OF SPACE AND SEATING 

Having been shocked with a small stroke in September I have taken the heart breaking decision to leave 

the sport. I have spent the last 11 years creating this family of birds that have won just about everything 

possible for me and now making household names of others all over the UK and abroad. 

Contained in this sale is ‘Champion Indy’ the mighty NFC Tarbes Grand National winner and breeding 

sensation, along with all her children including ‘Louis’ the winner of 1st Section, 8th Open BICC Pau in 

2010. Also contained within the sale are the winners of 1st Open Tarbes Classic (and her parents), my 5th 

Open BICC Alençon along with all my 600 mile performance pigeons. There is also 4 birds bred by the 

Maestro Cees Luykx and 4 young breeders introduced at great expense last year from one of the most 

exciting Barcelona lofts in the Netherlands. Just look how many proven racing and breeding pigeons are in 

this sale and I am proud that every bird in this sale is either a performance pigeon or no more than only 1 

generation away from one! 

Matt Rakes - My own performance at the long distance 

I set my sights on keeping the number of birds low and concentrating on just one National race 

a season over 500 miles using just the club Channel races as preparation. In 2008 I sent to Tarbes 

for the first time. Typically I would send something like 3 or 4 birds to these races.

Races under 250 miles are solely used to gain the birds experience and to prepare them for the longer races yet without being fully prepared for these 

faster races my birds prove the pace and ability they have. For most of my birds (including Champion Indy and Louis) going to Messac at 242 miles is 

normally the first time they will ever have been on a transporter in their life. 

In the early years I just raced in the club, being either in the mighty West of England South Road Combine, or the Bristol Federation, then in later years 

I raced more with the Nationals and Classics.

One thing that makes me very proud is how well my birds have done for other lofts around the UK and even further 

abroad. How often do you hear of such fantastic pigeons that always fail to perform even in very experienced hands? 

For me to see how well these birds perform in other lofts proves again just how fantastic a set of birds my Indy family 

really is. 

I respect the views of those fanciers who wish to keep their performances with my birds to themselves but I am very 

grateful to the lofts below for their References (phone numbers can be supplied at request should you wish to verify 

them for yourselves);

Antony Van Dijk - These are the birds I purchased 12 months ago as Antony is a real diamond in the pigeon sport. His birds are very 

impressive and he is a top guy too. I am really sorry I will not get chance to try these birds as I think they are the real deal. 

In the sale are 4 birds direct from Antony’s 

very best breeders: 

• A son of ‘Bardo Nibieski’ paired to the 

father of ‘Triple Two’ 

• A half brother to ‘Gold Digger’ and 

‘Bardo Nibieski’ 

• A half sister to ‘Gold Digger’ and ‘Bardo 

Nibieski’ 

• A half brother to ‘Olinka’ 8th

Cees Luykx - additional Lazeroms blood!!!! 

Cees was a true champion of the long distance discipline, and a 

true gentleman too who selected his birds in the only way he 

knew, by putting them in the basket!! He was one of Holland’s 

brightest and successful long distance fanciers. He owned 

unbeatable long distance stock that was outstanding in the races 

of the Pyrenees. Cees would visit the loft of the Lazeroms family 

regularly and he often received a few youngsters or a round of 

eggs off some of their most famous pigeons. 

I first met Cees in 2010, the year he set the long distance world 

alight with his ‘Barcelona 241’ 

legendary breeder as well as the Barcelona winner himself and 

other top racers. 

When Cees sadly passed away in 2012 all of his birds were 

auctioned by PIPA. His superstar ‘Barcelona 241 was sold for over 

€45,000 and his family of birds made nearly €175,000 and went all 

over the world, such was his fame. 

In this sale are 4 birds, bred by Cees; 

• Blue whiteflight cock - a direct son of the ‘Barcelona 241’ 1st 

Dutch National Barcelona 7,016 birds, 5th Open International 

Barcelona 25,821 birds. This cock is the sire of Sire of 1st Club, 

9th Combine Messac 2,339 birds 

• Cheq Cock - another direct son of the ‘Barcelona 241’ 1st Dutch 

National Barcelona 7,016 birds, 5th Open International Barcelona 

25,821 birds 

• Blue Hen - a stunning daughter of the ‘Asduif 723’ (so a half 

sister to the dam of ‘Barcelona 241’) and this hen is the dam of my 

St Vincent Hen 13th Section, 58th Open BICC St Vincent and also 

my GB12X35489 3rd club, 42nd Combine Messac 2190 birds 

• Dark Cheq Hen - a direct daughter of 12th National Bergerac, 

38th National Dax who was a daughter of the Ace breeder ‘Asduif 

723’ (grand father 1st National, 5th International Barcelona) when 

paired to the ‘071’ a winner of 24th National St Vincent 2008, 

28th National Tarbes 2009, 98th National Tarbes 2008. This hen 

has bred me 14th Section 197th Open BICC Alençon(1) 4,759 

birds, 22nd Section 47th Open BICC Alençon (2) 4,332 birds and 

6th Club, 19th Fed Portland 

Classic Pair 

Barcelona 241 

1st Dutch National Barcelona 7,016 birds 

5th Open International Barcelona 25,821 birds 

Cees was a master of the racing game, racing most of his birds on 

the ‘Natural system’ but with a few ‘Widowhood cocks’ to reinforce 

the team. 

• 1st National champion NPO overnight 2009 

• 1st Provincial champion overnight long dist. 2006 




• 1st General champion Fondclub ZN 2009 

• 2nd National champion NPO overnight 2008 

• 6th National champion NPO overnight 2007 

When I visited Cees he made it very clear that his best breeding 

pigeon was the ‘Asduif 723’ who was the grand sire of the 

Barcelona 241, so it made sense to get something from that 

I was able to buy this hen and her parents two years ago. I didn’t 

quite appreciate at the time just how good these birds were or 

indeed how proven they were when I got them 

Carol’s Delight is a winner of; 

• 1st Section, 1st Open LSE Classic Tarbes 

• 4th Section, 11th Open LSE Classic Bergerac 

• 57th Section, 81st Open LSE Classic Tours

The Indy Family, based on the birds of Ton Bollebakker of Laren, NL 

Champion Indy 

1st Section, 1st Open NFC Tarbes Grand National in 2009 

3rd Section, 8th Open NFC Tarbes Grand National in 2008 

In 2004 I had finished with racing fast pigeons and was convinced by 

Steven Van Breemen that I should try my hand at long distance racing, 

and soon after Steven introduced me to his long time close friend Ton 

Bollebakker, a master of racing natural birds at the long distance races 

in the Netherlands. Ton’s birds were based on some royal distance 

blood, the very best Jan Aarden, Van De Wegen all blended with the 

old De Smet Matthijs blood and a touch of the old Cattrysse and 

Delbar, not the most fashionable birds but anyone knowing real long 

distance pigeons knows that its the quality of the bird that matters 

when they have 600 miles to fly, not who has the best publicity 

machine. I have enclosed some photos of his birds at the end of this 

document and you will see in the ‘Bonte Lazeroms’ exactly where Indy 

get her good looks from. 

Early in 2005 I received the tragic news that Ton, now a close friend of 

mine had died unexpectedly, and with this went my plans for a distance 

racing adventure. In the coming months I decided that perhaps they 

way ahead should be to go to the auction of Tons family of pigeons and 

buy a few to try and find my own way in this very different world of 

long distance pigeons. In essence, I bought the parents of Indy at his 

auction and these birds are the heart of my bloodline today, based 

upon his best breeders such as ‘Bonte Lazeroms’ and ‘De Getoepte’, 

proven 600 mile pigeons for generations 

Here in Paulton, Indy made herself known very quickly as a star in the 

making. Her first race in 2007 was from Messac, first time ever on a 

transporter in her life and she came here to be the first bird in the area 

by quite some way. Put away until 2008 she raced two Messac races, 

the second of which she made her only mistake in her life and nighted 

out, I thought then that she would miss the 2008 Tarbes race but she 

recovered quickly and made the team. A fast race was expected and 

Indy returned to her eggs to win 3rd Section, 8th Open National Flying 

Club Tarbes at her first attempt, making her one of the fastest 10 

pigeons ever to fly the NFC Grand National event. I knew that after a 

poor preparation race from Messac it was possible to get this girl 

prepared better. 

2009 started as always with two preparation races at the 250 mile 

mark, the big difference now being that all had gone exactly to plan. 

From the second Messac race I wanted Indy to have about 7 hours on 

wing, and she was my third bird flying 6 hours 53 minutes (I won the 

race with a sister to Indy and my second bird was Indy’s son!) all was 

going well. 

2009 was a totally different Tarbes race, not a fast one day race like the 

year before but now a very hard 2 day race with a lunchtime liberation 

in the heat of the day, any pigeon not 100% would be found wanting 

with only the best and the brave at the front. I am convinced that from 

these hot hard races the birds at the front have all the qualities to be 

excellent breeding pigeons. 

My big concern was the west wind on the second day of the race 

pushing the west country birds away from home every second of every 

minute of every hour. 

At 10:43am I saw a dot on the horizon, no doubt in my mind what was 

coming towards me, stand still, call her home and watch her hit the 

trap and run in, and this was the only time I have ever seen her look 

ruffled, she had given everything in the tank. 

After a very long day I was relieved that despite the westerly wind and 

racing against lofts 100 miles east of me, Indy had beaten all the other 

birds in the country and was the Grand National winner, the most 

coveted race in England was hers. 

I turned away some very significant offers to buy her from me as I 

wanted to breed my own family on long distance pigeons, just like Ton 

Bollebakker had before me and I now had a real jewel to work with. 

What on earth do you do after this? Well I decided that now the 

biggest race in England was in the bag it was time to try something 

different. 

In 2010 I had an even smaller race team as I had placed Indy, her sisters 

and two very good sons in the breeding loft, what was left for racing 

was all unproven at the distance. 

I set my sights on the BICC’s Pau International race, after 6 days in the 

basket they had a very hot race with a strong west wind again and low 

and behold up pops a remarkable Grizzle Cock who was one of the 

eggs Indy raced back to in July 2008 when she was 8th Open NFC 

Tarbes. This grizzle cock, named ‘Louis’ was 1st Section, 8th Open 

BICC Pau on his very first long distance race and won the Section by 

almost 200ypm. 

Louis 

1st Section, 8th Open BICC Pau International in 2010 

(direct son of Champion Indy) 

Both Indy and Louis have left their mark all over the country breeding 

fantastic pigeons for fanciers all over the UK and even some that have 

gone abroad. Please see the list of References for details. 

In my own lofts this year my 5th National Alençon is a granddaughter 

of Indy, and my 5th Section 40th Open BICC Pau is a grandson of her.
