Let us be completely honest for a second. In our sport, you have guys who are happy just to see their name on the regional result sheet, and then you have the killers. Fanciers who do not show up to play nice, but to completely reset the standards. If you want to know what total, merciless dominance looks like, you just need to take a look at what Patrick Noorman from Serooskerke pulled off last weekend.
People are still rubbing their eyes in disbelief down in Zeeland. Patrick sent 28 of his athletes to the middle-distance race from Chateaudun. He clocked 25 of them straight into the prizes. Let that sink in for a moment. That is a jaw-dropping prize percentage of 89.28%. In a sport where seconds separate the heroes from the rest, this was not just a regular win. This was a complete masterclass that shows exactly why the name Patrick Noorman Pigeons is currently sending shivers down the spines of the competition.
The Chateaudun Grind: Where Character Beats the Elements
We all know you can have the most beautiful birds in the world, but the sky does not care about pedigree. On the morning of May 30, 2026, the official race sheet from Afdeling Zuid-West Vlieggebied 2 Groen, which you can check verbatim in the file Patrick Noorman, showed that the birds were let go at exactly 07.30 AM.
The conditions? Tough. Really tough. There was a nagging, dry northeast wind blowing right against their chests, and as the day went on, the thermometer climbed up to 19 degrees. When you are forcing birds to fly over 418 kilometers straight into a headwind, you are not testing luck anymore. You are testing pure character and stamina.
While most fanciers were nervously pacing up and down their lawns staring at an empty sky, Patrick was ready. At exactly 13.08.42 PM, his first hen ripped through the air and slammed onto the landing board. She clocked a blistering speed of 1234.579 meters per minute, capturing the absolute 1st prize against 2182 competing birds.
But the real magic of Patrick Noorman Pigeons is that they do not travel alone. They hunt in packs. Look at how the rest of his team came tumbling out of the sky:
1st prize with his 27th basketed bird, ring NL25-1317916V
10th prize with the NL23-9354561V, arriving barely seven minutes later
13th, 23rd, and 36th prize right on their tails
Before the clock even hit the one-hour mark, Patrick had 24 of his 28 birds home and registered. The local competition was left completely speechless. It is exactly this kind of crazy depth that makes his loft so dangerous.
Testimonial from Trevor Gibson, First Time Keto – Fly User…
“Saturday was red hot with temperatures hitting 26 degrees. I was absolutely amazed by how fast that Keto works, it totally rehydrated them in no time. Absolutely spot on! This morning was their first time exercising since Saturday’s race, and man, that Keto certainly does the trick. They are absolutely bursting through the skies, and that is only on a diet mix! The birds are looking better than ever. Thank you so much, Jan!” ORDER YOUR BOTTLE HERE >>>

Bloodlines and Obsession: Building an Unstoppable Strain
A regular guy might look at a result like this and call it a lucky day, but anyone who knows Patrick knows luck has nothing to do with it. This young guy lives, breathes, and sleeps his hobby. Over the past few years, he has quietly put together a breeding powerhouse by ignoring the hype and focusing purely on performance.
He did not build this empire alone. He surrounded himself with the absolute best genetics available, sourcing lines from his close friends A. Houmes & zoon, Gijs Baan, Eddie van Leeuwen, Martijn and Buck de Kruijf, the master breeders at Embregts-Theunis, and the legendary, world-conquering blood of Gerard and Bas Verkerk from Reeuwijk.
When you blend those elite genetics with Patrick’s stubborn work ethic and the heavy coastal air of Zeeland, you get a family of birds that simply refuses to lose. And the most beautiful part of the story? It is not just working in Serooskerke.
Dominating the Map: The Reference List
You truly know a strain is elite when other lofts start winning big with your birds. The reference list of children and grandchildren from Patrick’s lines is getting ridiculously long. Just look at what his birds are doing for other fanciers across the country:
Quinten de Pijper won 1st Provincial Chateaudun against 5641 birds
D.J. Beekman earned the 1st Provincial Ace Pigeon Title in the Long Distance
Richard van den Bos took 1st Sub-Provincial Grevillers against 9202 birds
The Comb. Houmes claimed 1st Provincial Niergnies against 6601 birds
Richard van den Bos struck gold again with 1st Sub-Provincial Quievrain against 6131 birds
It does not matter if it is a short, lightning-fast sprint or a brutal day out on the long-distance tracks. These birds are bred with an internal compass that only points to the number one spot.
A Trophy Room Bursting at the Seams
If you think Chateaudun was just a flashy headline, you need to zoom out and look at what this loft has been doing year after year. Between 2023 and 2025, Patrick basically treated the provincial championship ceremonies like his own personal party. The records speak for themselves:
1st Provincial Champion Middle Distance
1st Provincial Champion Middle Distance Not Nominated
1st Provincial Ace Pigeon Allround
4th National Ace Pigeon Middle Distance NPO & WHZB
5th National Champion Middle Distance Nominated
6th National Superstar Sprint in the legendary Gouden Duif competition
What Patrick is doing is exactly what our sport needs right now. He brings a raw energy, a massive smile, and a level of performance that makes pigeon racing exciting to watch. He is proof that if you have the drive, the passion, and the right quality of birds, you can look the biggest names in the country straight in the eye and beat them at their own game.
The 2026 season is still young, but the message from Serooskerke is loud and clear. Patrick Noorman is fired up, his team is in absolute peak condition, and they are already looking for the next flight to conquer. If you are racing against him this year, you better bring your absolute best game, because Patrick certainly will.
