NL-2026-8120409 (NL-2026-F159-04)
NL-2026-8120409 combines documented one-loft racing performance with a standout full sister and a powerful blend of Miroslav Vidhold’s Sagan family and 100% Mari Rietveld bloodlines. At OLR AviRings, this pigeon placed 128th against 2,471 pigeons over 183 km in R2. A headline family result comes from its full sister, NL-2026-8120446, which finished 11th against 530 pigeons in the 2026 Sunny Beach Bulgaria final.
The sire is “Miroslav” SK-2024-0999-9982, bred by Miroslav Vidhold from the father–daughter pairing of “Sagan” SK-2014-1905-1110 with “Ciska 50” SK-2023-1905-950. This concentrates the blood of Sagan, described in the pedigree as the best son of Adka, with an Ad Schaerlaeckens connection.
Paternal grandmother Ciska 50 provides particularly strong racing evidence: 9th in the 2023 Algarve Golden final from Braganca, over 505 km against 3,175 pigeons, together with a 31st Ace Pigeon ranking. The breeding record extends further: Sagan is also recorded as grandsire of the pigeon placed 4th in the 2025 Algarve Golden final.
The dam, NL-2023-9332961, was bred by Arno Borst of Benschop and is recorded as 100% Mari Rietveld. She is a full sister to the pigeon placed 4th National Bordeaux in 2024 against 4,547 pigeons. This maternal national-level performance complements the paternal one-loft record, while the full sister’s Sunny Beach final placing supplies valuable evidence from the same parental pairing.
