A grandchild of Star Boy on the sire’s side, crossed onto the Polish Military Rogala marathon family. The dam is a granddaughter of "Sokrates", winner of the International from San Sebastián at 2,050km, and of "Diana", who scored from Scotland at 1,800km. Maurice’s note reads: "You have One Loft Race winners, International winners, and the best long distance pigeons in the world in this bird’s pedigree."
From the O’Donnell card: Sire is a brother to Miss Maurice and to Miss Debbie; dam is a granddaughter of Sokrates and of Diana
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.
