This dark chequer cock, bred by Andreas Möller, became winner of the Carnival One Loft Race in South Africa, at a spectaculair way! The final race was a very hot and heavy race of 450 kilometers…”Paradise Daisy” (or Carnival Wonder) won this race with a lead of more than 45 minutes!! Also, “Carnival Wonder” became 1st Acebird. Here an overview of his results at the hotspot races, given to us by loftmanager Herman van Rensburg from the Carnival One Loft Race.

Hot Spot 1:  35e place
Carnival Wonder arrived together with the winner but wasted 20 seconds before he came in.

Hot Spot 2: 11e place
Again an arrivel together with the winning bird, but Carnival Wonder takes 9 extra seconds to come in and placed himself as 11th.

Hot Spot 3: 2e place
Carnival Wonder arrived together with his aunt but came in 2 seconds later. So aunt and nephew, both from Andreas Möller, won 1st and 2nd !

FCI Final: 1e place
This time, Carnival Wonder, proved his superclass by winning the final with a 45 minute lead. “Paradise Daisy” a.k.a Carnival Wonder wasted no second but went inside the loft very quick.

Our African friend Lex Webster was at the public auction at 4th of March. Thanks to his effort, we succeeded to buy “Carnival Wonder” after a heavy bidding fight. According to Lex, “Carnival Wonder” is also in hand an incredible bird, perfect construction, soft feathers and closed ventbones. Also with strong muscles in the wings.

Loftmanager Herman van Rensburg calls “Carnival Wonder” a ‘once-in-a-lifetime-pigeon’. From the around 50.000 birds he trained the last 20 years in his carreer, he didn’t found a special bird like “Carnival Wonder”. Here the message from Herman:

“I am sure never will I be privileged enough to train another pigeon that will be such a dominant force in a racing season here at Carnival Lofts in the future, he truly handles like a super pigeon, muscles under his wing like no other in the team that raced against him or for that matter any of the older birds that was in the winter series last year.

Take my word for it I have trained at various lofts and have had close to 50 000 plus pigeons trained by me over the past 20 years at one loft races, winter and summer and these two pigeons are two of the very best out of that 50 000 plus pigeons they will be the next generation pigeons whom you will hear about in years to come! “

Beside “Carnival Wonder” we came to gether with Andreas Möller that the parents of “Carnival Wonder” also will move to Kerkdriel. Our goal is to cross these birds on our own “Harry” strain, in combination with the “Birdy” line, specially for the one loft races.
