This bird is out of the same sire and the same dam as Miss Maurice herself — Star Boy paired to B16-6037045. 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 sold to the USA for $70,000. A full sibling is as close as anyone can get to owning her.
The O’Donnell card records this bird specifically as: Sister to Miss Maurice; half-sister to Miss Debbie and to Sapsan
The Sire — B16-6037050 "Star Boy"
The O’Donnell foundation cock · now at Ganus Family Lofts, USA
Star Boy (B16-6037050) — the world-famous O’Donnell breeding cock, and father to Miss Maurice, Knockout Winner of the SAMDPR 2020 and best bird over five Hotspots and the Final combined; to Miss Debbie, winner of the Pattaya International One Loft Race against 10,000+ birds; and to Sapsan, co-winner of the Algarve Golden Race. His pedigree card records winners by him across Europe, America, Canada, Mexico, China and Thailand. He now stands at Ganus Family Lofts in the USA.
His own sire B10-6309633 was a top racer for Van Ouwerkerk / Dekkers and scored from Barcelona at 1,100km. His dam B10-6309450 is a sister to 14th and 54th National Barcelona and the mother of 51st National Narbonne.
In short: the sire line is the O’Donnell foundation, and it is the reason this family sells worldwide.
The Dam — B16-6037045

The Pattaya International has been won out of this family against 13,000 birds.
BREEDING CHARACTER
A full sibling of a Million Dollar Race winner, and an unusually deep pedigree behind that: Barcelona National Ace form on the dam’s side through Polo Barcelona, Barcelona and Narbonne National placings on the sire’s. It is a One Loft pedigree built on marathon foundations, which is what has made the family travel so well.
IHU20-068360 is a full sibling of Miss Maurice, bred by Maurice O’Donnell. Behind it: a SAMDPR Knockout Winner, a Pattaya International winner, an Algarve Golden Race co-winner and Barcelona National Ace form.
