The organisation of the Victoria Falls World Challenge Pigeon Race had a dream winner in American superman Mike Ganus … the 2016 winner of the Million Dollar Race now takes gold and bronze in a very successful second edition of the fastest growing One Loft Race!
Victoria Falls, one of the seven Natural Wonders of the World, is the sublime location in Zimbabwe for a new spectacular battle in International pigeon racing … Pigeons are supervised in a professional way, at a truly breath-taking accommodation and get a fair chance to show their true capacities. In the 2018 edition over 50% of all pigeons entered at the start, made it to a final race from Chipangali (410 km); a quite unique number! The pigeons made 18 Training Flights and 5 Hot Spot races up to 205 km – a well-considered preparation for judgement day; January 26th.
1st & 3rd prize for Mike Ganus in the final race
Where the 2017 edition was very tough with low velocities for the winners, the 2018 edition the first of 1,128 entries came in with 1470 mpm speed … First and third prize were for American champion Mike Ganus – another sensational highlight for his impressive colony. It is fair to say the Ganus-pigeon have dominated the Victoria Falls competition over the first two editions. Last year the 2nd final and $100,000.00 winner raced by Ado Family Loft was bred from 2 original Mike Ganus pigeons … Mike himself took 8th place in the final and raced the 5th-6th-7th acebird in the Victoria Falls Challenge races.
