Friday, July 26, 2025 – Section 9, Kring 1. A date Jan Nijboer won’t soon forget. At exactly 09:00 AM, the birds were released from Tongeren under partly cloudy skies, a moderate southwest wind, and a comfortable 18°C. The stage was set for a true test of form and breeding — not just a speed sprint, but a flight where quality would shine through 💪.
📍 Race Details:
- Competitors: 276 fanciers
- Total birds in competition: 7,109
- Coordinates of release point: +5047210 / +0532234
- Distance to Jan's loft: 212.83 km

And shine it did — in Geesteren, where Jan Nijboer clocked in not just one early bird, but a full series that left the rest chasing feathers.
Not Mass, Just Class — Nijboer Does It Again
Jan isn’t one to follow trends or play the numbers game. He believes in balance, structure, and trusting the natural power of his birds. A proud client of PigeonBoss.com, he brought 50 young pigeons to this race… and 30 of them earned prizes. That’s a jaw-dropping 60% success rate against over 7,000 competitors 🤯.
His first bird didn’t just arrive — it attacked the trap. But the real show? The wave that followed. One after the other, his pigeons came home like a well-trained squadron on a mission. That’s when you know: this loft is dialed in 🔥.
🚀 Pedigree Power: The Best of Gebr. Leideman A&B
The winning hen, NL25-1043179, is more than a fast pigeon — she’s a blueprint of elite breeding 📜. On her father's side, she descends from Grijs Beer x Special Beer, deeply rooted in the legendary Gebr. Leideman A&B family. You’ll find names like Mr. Son Gerd Douglas, Sister Douglas 17, and Olympic Blue woven through her DNA.
Her mother? Even more dynamite: a direct daughter of Inbred Crack 19, which brings together some of the most prestigious bloodlines in the game — Vale Anima, Stratius, Sadee, and the iconic Magnus 💎.
This isn’t luck. This is precision breeding, years in the making — and Tongeren was just the proof.
🏆 Geesteren Leads the Way
The result wasn’t just one big hit — it was a series of solid arrivals. Jan’s name kept popping up near the top of the result list, showing a loft in peak condition 🕊️.
Yes, other top names also showed strong, and a few surprises made headlines. But this race belonged to Nijboer. Quiet. Focused. Ruthless. Exactly how pigeon racing is meant to be played.

📊 Performance Analysis: 60% Prize Rate = Elite Loft Form
This wasn’t just a fluke. A 60% prize rate on a race of this size proves one thing — Jan’s team is in top form across the board. His system is built on trust, health, and selective breeding. And those principles are clearly paying off.
While others hope for one early arrival, Jan builds teams that deliver results in depth. This is the new standard — and it’s coming from Geesteren.
