Jan de Wijs, The Real Pigeon Boss
In every sport, there are legends—icons that change the game forever. In the world of pigeon racing, Sagan B12-6108355 is such a legend. Bred and raced by the talented Patrick Boeckx from Vorselaar, Belgium, Sagan isn’t just another national ace—he’s a phenomenon, a true foundation cock whose impact still reverberates through the sport to this day.
In the quiet town of Nieuwleusen, one pigeon has risen to legendary status: Blue Lucy. With her ring number NL.20-1122379, she has become the star of the season after claiming victory in the 1st International Marseille 2023 against an impressive field of 10,046 pigeons. Her win was not just a victory; it was a triumph of perseverance, strategic preparation, and exceptional talent. And her story becomes even more remarkable when you discover her background, achievements, and future as a top breeder.
I’m absolutely thrilled to share something special with you today. As many of you know, I’ve always been passionate about providing the best for our wonderful sport, racing pigeons, and, of course, all of YOU – the fans, the fanciers, the true heart of this incredible community.

If you want to give your marathon pigeons a natural performance boost, Herbovet Herbobeets is the perfect addition to their diet.

Garlic has long been recognized as a natural powerhouse in both human and animal health, and its benefits extend to racing pigeons as well. This humble ingredient plays a crucial role in enhancing immunity, supporting endurance, and improving overall performance. I strongly recommends incorporating Belgarlic + Vit. E, a scientifically formulated garlic supplement, into your pigeons’ diet to maximize these advantages.
