A double grandchild of Star Boy, who stands as both the paternal and the maternal grandsire. The sire is a brother to Miss Maurice; the dam is a sister to Sapsan, co-winner of the 9th Open in the Algarve Golden Race — ten birds dropped together and he was beaten for first by seconds.
From the O’Donnell card: A double grandchild of Star Boy — brother to Miss Maurice over a sister to Sapsan
The Sire — a brother to Miss Maurice
By Star Boy out of the mother of Miss Maurice
Miss Maurice won the Knockout in the South Africa Million Dollar Race 2020, was best bird over five Hotspots and the Final combined, and was purchased by Lendos Family Lofts in the USA for $70,000. She has since bred a winner of an OLR in Mexico and 5th in the Evolution Final OLR over 365 miles in the USA.
Star Boy (B16-6037050) — the O’Donnell foundation cock, father to Miss Maurice (SAMDPR 2020 Knockout Winner), Miss Debbie (1st Pattaya International OLR) and Sapsan (co-winner, Algarve Golden Race). Sire and grandsire to winners across Europe, America, Canada, Mexico, China and Thailand. He now stands at Ganus Family Lofts in the USA.
In short: the sire line is the O’Donnell foundation, and it is the reason this family sells worldwide.

Sapsan was co-winner of the 9th Open in the Algarve Golden Race. The dam is his full sister, by Star Boy out of B16-6037339.
