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.
Unmatched Results on Speed Races
Sagan made headlines in 2013 with a string of performances that left the competition in the dust:
- 1st vs. 1,042 pigeons (Noyon)
- 1st vs. 524 pigeons (Noyon)
- 1st vs. 446 pigeons (Noyon)
- 2nd vs. 1,411 pigeons (Noyon)
- 2nd vs. 624 pigeons (Noyon)
- 6th vs. 667 pigeons (Noyon)
With a mind-blowing coefficient of just 1.87 over 6 races, Sagan was crowned:
1st National Ace Pigeon Speed Old & Yearlings – K.B.D.B. 2013
These aren't just numbers. They represent dominance, consistency, and above all, heart. Sagan raced with fire in his wings and determination in his soul.
Small Loft, Big Dreams – The Boeckx Philosophy
What makes this story even more powerful is the man behind the bird. Patrick Boeckx doesn’t operate a massive racing operation. Quite the opposite.
With just 8 to 10 widowhood cocks, a matching number of hens, and 6 to 8 breeding pairs, Patrick proves year after year that quality always beats quantity. It’s his laser-focused selection and deep understanding of pigeon genetics that led him to create Sagan—a bird that changed everything.
Sagan the Breeder – The Rise of a Dynasty
If Sagan had only been a top racer, his legacy would already be secure. But it’s what happened after his racing career that turned him into a living legend. As a breeder, Sagan is in a league of his own.
Top-performing descendants include:
- “Turbo Sagan” B16-6090022
A direct son who scored:- 1st Noyon 993 pigeons

GIFT – Sagan’s Super Son
The crown jewel of Sagan’s breeding legacy is undoubtedly "Gift" (BE14-6091961). Universally recognized as the best son of Sagan, Gift has sired an entire generation of champions. He is:
- Father & Grandfather of multiple Olympiad pigeons
- The core breeder behind top lofts in Serbia, Germany, Romania, Netherlands, and beyond
Gift is the father of pigeons that have competed at the highest level – including National Aces and Olympiad pigeons in Poland and Romania. His blood runs through many of the best-performing pigeons of the last decade.
From children to grandchildren and beyond, the Sagan bloodline delivers time and time again. It’s no surprise that fanciers from Belgium to Asia are lining up to add a piece of this golden gene pool to their lofts.
A Global Impact on the Sport
Sagan isn’t just a Belgian treasure—he’s an international phenomenon. His bloodline is influencing lofts around the world. Speed, intelligence, orientation, willpower—it’s all there in his genes. Whether in short-distance sprints or middle-distance races, his offspring continue to shine.
