Two of the most recognisable names in modern One Loft racing, brought together without a single ancestor in common.
The cock is a full brother to Miss Maurice, Knockout Winner of the Million Dollar Race South Africa 2020.
The hen is a full sister to Lone Survivor, 1st UK Ace Pigeon and 5th International Ace Pigeon. Neither is a distant descendant — both are siblings of the bird that made the family famous, which is as close as it is possible to get without owning the champion itself.
Youngsters from this round are Maurice O’Donnell over the Gent / Harry line of Darren Ede: a clean outcross, and one where every one of the four grandparents has documented performance behind it.
The Sire — IHU20S127724 "Pioneer Star"
Blue · Stock Cock · Bred by Maurice O’Donnell
A full brother to Miss Maurice, Knockout Winner in the Million Dollar Race South Africa 2020, winning over $47,500. Also a brother to the 9th Place finisher in the Final of the Golden Algarve Million Euro Race, and a half-brother to Miss Debbie, 1st Place Pattaya International One Loft Race, Thailand.
Star Boy (B16-6037050) — rated among the best One Loft breeding cocks in the world. Sire of Miss Maurice, Knockout Winner in the Million Dollar Race South Africa 2020 for over $47,500, and grandsire of Miss Debbie, 1st Place Pattaya International One Loft Race, Thailand.
His own sire (B10-6309633) is a son of 62nd National Barcelona and 92nd National St Vincent; his dam (B10-6309450) is a sister to 14th National Barcelona and the mother of 15th National Barcelona and 51st National Narbonne.
Mother to Miss Maurice (B16-6037045) — his dam, recorded as the mother of the SAMDPR Knockout winner.
In short: not a descendant of the Miss Maurice pairing but a direct product of it.
The Dam — GB22N02586 "Pioneer Survivor"
Blue Hen · Lone Survivor line · Bred by Darren Ede
A full sister to Lone Survivor — 1st UK Ace Pigeon, won with over an hour’s lead; 5th International Ace Pigeon; 3rd Knockout Winner; and 45th in the Final of the SAMDPR 2020.
The Gent (NL17-1409843) — her sire, a son of New Harry and the father of Lone Survivor. Behind him, New Harry (NL14-1219811) was a multiple first-prize winner, and Sister Harry (NL09-1375421), full sister to the legendary Harry, is grandam of 1st Provincial Montelimar 2017 at 707km and of the 1st Final Pattaya One Loft Race Thailand 2017.
Foxy Queen (GB17L42032) — her dam, a daughter of Foxy Lady and the dam of Lone Survivor. Foxy Lady (GB14A46975) had only three Classic Channel races in a short career and won 1st Section 987 birds and 2nd Open MNFC Coutances against 8,984; 1st Section 745 birds and 2nd Open MNFC Ancenis against 5,612; and 1st Section 1,125 birds and 3rd Open MNFC Fougeres against 8,359. Her sire Propere Rik (B11-6341771) of Rik Hermans is a full brother to Starly, 1st Ace Pigeon.
In short: the hen is not merely related to Lone Survivor — she is out of the exact pairing that produced him.

BREEDING CHARACTER
A pure outcross of two proven One Loft families with nothing shared between them. The cock’s side is Barcelona and St Vincent National blood concentrated into a modern OLR breeder; the hen’s side is Dutch Harry foundation crossed onto genuine MNFC Channel-racing performance. Youngsters carry no inbreeding load and are as useful crossed onto a linebred hen as they are entered in a race.
SUMMARY
Pair 02, first round: a full brother to Miss Maurice over a full sister to Lone Survivor. Behind the youngsters sit Star Boy and the Barcelona lines on one side, The Gent, New Harry and Foxy Lady on the other. Two famous One Loft families, one generation away from each, and no overlap between them.
