Sakis Minovgioudis (Alblasserdam, NL)

For years, Sakis continues to amaze the pigeon racing world with international successes, especially on the OLR, with descendants of his very strong strain of Ludo Claessens pigeons. Meeuwke 12, Supercracks Talent, Bonte Beauty, etc….

For many years, Sakis has been widely regarded as the treasurer of the Claessen pigeons. In addition to brilliant performances on his own loft and with other fanciers, his worldwide successes on the one-loft races in particular, are of a very high level. Every season again we see descendants of e.g. Meeuwke 12, Supercracks Talent, Bonte Beauty, White Talent, Super Yearling, Nationaal Meeuwke, etc…. back at the top of the international OLR. 

Despite his busy job and a limited number of race- and breeding pigeons, Sakis also manages to perform excellently on his own loft every year. Last year, he raced a team of yearlings that had not been trained as youngsters. During the season, despite this handicap, they managed to achieve some great results, especially in the one-day long distance races. Below you can see some top pigeons of the last few years on their own loft with their best performances:
