“Lucky 23” – DV-2026-0340-1223 brings together documented derby performances, the A. & H. Klaas family and Bjoern Ove Helgesen breeding. Listed for Avirings Derby Pro 2026, this pigeon offers a pedigree supported by results in both its immediate family and the wider paternal branch.
A key selling point is its sibling connection to 0340-25-175, placed 44th KK in the Derby Zagreb final over 500 km. Its sire, “1180” – DV-2024-0340-1180, is explicitly recorded as the father of that finalist. The dam, NOR-2024-032-235, bred by Bjoern Ove Helgesen, is also credited with breeding a 44th-place Derby Zagreb performer in 2025.
The sire adds his own record from AS-Derby-Croatia 2024:
- 50th KK in Race 1 over 165 km.
- 57th KK in Race 3 over 261 km.
- 132nd KK in the final over 505 km.
He is also recorded as a brother of “Rocky” – 340-25-192, which achieved 26th KK in Final Race 3 at Avirings Derby Pro 2025. This provides another relevant derby result within Lucky 23’s close paternal family.
The paternal grandmother is “Million Dollar” – DV-2019-507-684, bred by A. & H. Klaas. Her mother is recorded as a sister of Purdey, 3rd in the SAMDPR final in 2013—a notable collateral family connection, rather than direct descent from Purdey. The paternal grandfather, “Team Frohmatta” – CH-2022-15617, is credited with offspring flying finals and super finals in 2023–2025; his parents bring in breeding from Behrens/Ivanschitz and Simon Wolf.
On the maternal side, both grandparents are recorded as Bjoern Ove Helgesen pigeons. Lucky 23 is an appealing pedigree-based prospect, combining close-family 500 km final evidence with established Klaas and Helgesen breeding.
