Mihalachi Marin Crowned Champion of the Golden Race – Derby Moldova OLR 2025

The Final Derby Moldova 2025 is complete and it was nothing short of spectacular. On September 16th at 07:30 AM, 482 pigeons were released from Bulgaria for the ultimate test: a grueling 502 km back to Moldova. With clear skies and perfect weather, the stage was set for a true clash of titans.

And one name stood head and shoulders above the rest: Mihalachi Marin.

At 15:07:48, his MD-25-1974 arrived with an astonishing average speed of 1096.5483 m/min – securing victory with more than an eleven-minute lead over the runner-up. Marin’s loft proved its depth as well, with his second pigeon also placing in the top 10. A performance nothing less than grandiose.

  • 3rd place – €4,000

  • 4th place – €3,000

  • 5th place – €2,000

In total, a guaranteed €50,000 prize pot was distributed down to the 50th positio

Why Derby Moldova Stands Out

  • Top-class organization with precise liberations and transparent reporting.

  • International competition with fanciers from Romania, Germany, Belgium, and Moldova.

  • Diverse prize structure including Bronze, Silver, and Golden Races, plus an Ace Pigeon competition.

  • Free entry opportunities: hotspot winners earn a free team for the next season.

The Pigeon Boss Will Be There

This is Derby Moldova. This is where legends are made.
