Frits & Wytse Mantel
NL-2026-8324149 (NL-2026-F353-31)
NL-2026-8324149, bred by Comb. Mantel, combines the Mantel racing family with the Bakker pairing GENE × SARALY. A direct grandchild of double NPO winner SARALY and Algarve Golden Race finalist ALEXIO, this pigeon brings together documented success in conventional racing and one-loft competition.
The sire is AXEL, NL-2023-9564749, a son of ALEXIO × KLASINA. AXEL has already bred performers including 3rd Issoudun against 247 pigeons, also recorded as 28th NPO against 3,436 pigeons. He is also a half-brother to the 3rd Ace Pigeon Algarve Golden Race 2025, in an edition that started with 7,262 pigeons—a notable supporting result from his close family.
Both paternal grandparents bring their own racing credentials. ALEXIO, NL-2022-8053937, finished 7th in the 505 km Algarve Golden Race final in 2022 against 3,622 pigeons. KLASINA, NL-2018-1396463, won 1st Chimay against 1,497 pigeons. Behind ALEXIO stand ALONSO and AMY, while KLASINA is bred from JASON and the H. Marsman hen MOTHER 63.
The dam is DAUGHTER SARALY, NL-2024-8275679, bred by Bakker Pigeons directly from GENE × SARALY. Her dam, SARALY, NL-2022-8307573, won 1st NPO Chateauroux against 2,292 pigeons and 1st NPO La Ferte St. Aubin against 3,493 pigeons. Her sire, GENE, NL-2015-1576743, adds 3rd NU Vierzon against 11,193 pigeons and 3rd NPO Gien against 4,607 pigeons.
The deeper maternal pedigree adds further substance: GENE's dam, NL-2011-1526078, was bred by C. & G. Koopman and is recorded as a sister of Lord Ballina. SARALY is bred from SON GERMINY and the Chris Hebberecht hen B 19-4090284, explicitly recorded as a half-sister of IKE, 1st National Ace Pigeon KBDB. An appealing Mantel–Bakker combination, distinguished above all by the proven performances of its four grandparents.
