EVANS BIRDS AT THE TOP AGAIN THIS WEEKEND...
Ferreira & Evans Wins Both Club Races
Valente & Evans Wins Both Club Races
Just got off the phone with Joe Ferreira and he told me that he won both his club races and that Mike Valente won both his club races. The Up North Combine race results won’t be in for four days.
I received an e-mail from Ivan Endo from Hawaii and he won his first Federation race taking the first 9 positions with 62 lofts and 1473 birds. An Evans bird is equal 1st on the drop from Sylvan-726 mated to Sylvan-717. 726 carries the Shadow bloodlines with Jester x Carrie. The 717 is from a brother x sister mating of Ltd. Addition x Mrs. Vervoort (Fienneke 5000 lines).
I also heard that Gord Whale won his club race and took the top 4 in the Toronto Central club. His club winner is a 50% Evans bird being bred from Sylvan- 981 from the Perfect Pair (linebred Shadow to Blue Ace his granddaughter from Carrie Black X Ltd. Addition). If you look back a few blogs you will see that Valente & Evans won a Combine from the nest sister to 981 and in the exact same race Ferreira & Evans was 2nd Combine with the nestmate both being bred from 982 a full sister to 981.

CATCHING UP ON ALL OF THE RESULTS BY THE EVANS BIRDS....
First off, the results of the Evans’ birds continue to pour in daily. So many that I have trouble keeping up with all of them. Joe Ferreira kicks it off with a club win at 300 miles two weeks ago and then another club win at 300 miles this past weekend. The first club win was also a Combine win. In fact, the Evans birds had a field day. 1-8-14-16-18-21-23-27-55-61-63-64-73-76-78-81-84-86-100 Combine, 77 Lofts 1,063 Birds. This represents almost 20%, 1 in every 4 birds was an Evans and yet this was achieved by 2% of the lofts in the Combine. These results continue to mirror those of past years. Mike Valente also won his club 300 two weeks ago and then was only 23 seconds from winning last week’s 300. Pat Kleyn continues to perform winning the secondary race last week. An interesting note comes from Gord Whale of Toronto. He was breeding from a granddaughter of the Jester x Carrie pair. One of the young ones in the nest had some fret marks on its tail. Gord told me he was going to cull it. A friend of Gord’s, Wally Beelik, was over and asked if he could have the young one. Well, it has been in the TOP Combine Results on 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS.  24th Combine 92 lofts 1,499 birds, 30th Combine 67 lofts 963 birds etc. What do we KNOW??????
IN HAWAII, Ivan Endo, 2 x 1st Hawaiian Concourse in 4 weeks of racing with M & D Evans. Ivan writes, “THE AMAZING THING IS THAT THE BIRDS THAT I BOUGHT FROM YOU WENT THRU 3 TIME ZONES AND DID NOT EVEN HAVE TIME TO ACCLIMATE TO THE HAWAII CLIMATE AND THESE YOUNGSTERS ARE COMING IN SO FAR.  MOST STOCK BIRDS WE BRING IN, THE YOUNGSTERS GETS LOST IN TRAINING.”
“GLAD TO SAY ANOTHER BIRD OF EVANS CAME THRU ON A VERY, VERY TOUGH RACE.  IT WAS CLEAR AND NO WINDS AT RELEASE POINT.  BUT GOING THRU THE 3 CHANNELS OF WATER IT WAS 15-20 MPH OF HEAD WINDS AND NOT TO MENTION THE BIRDS HAD TO FLY THRU THE THICK VOG (VOLCANIC HAZY)…AND THE TERRIBLE HEAT!! 90'S AND HUMIDITY.
THE COCK IS FROM THE EVANS HEN 717 (BROTHER X SISTER MATING OF LTD. ADDITION X MRS. VERVOORT). FROM 170 MILES. A 4 HOUR 15 MIN FEAT. I WON THE CONCOURSE AGAIN. THE OTHER CONCOURSE WINNER IS FROM 736 ( WESTKAPPELLE X FIENEKE 804 MATED TO SHADOW X EBONY”.
Got a call from Richie Stern of upstate New York. He purchased two pair of Evans last year from birds that Joe Ferreira and Mike Valente raced. Richie told me that in the first race he only sent 1 Evans bird and clocked it before all the rest of his young birds. In the second race he again only sent 1 Evans bird and again it was his first bird. Then on the third week of racing again he only sent 1 Evans and yet once again his first bird. As he was telling me this he said,” The funny thing is that I bred my friend 1 from the Evans birds and it was his first bird on this last race.” Richie told me that he needs to clean house as he has 16 pair of breeders.  We agreed that he really only has 2 pair of breeders. Last night Martin Ward from the Braintree club in Boston called to tell me that an Evans bird won his club and was out in front by 4 minutes ahead of the club. He has been told that he might win the South Section and he could be in for a win in the Combine. Stay tuned. I was talking to Vern Dean of Minnesota the other day. Now before Vern got the Evans birds he had raced for five years and hadn’t been in the top 10% of his club. He is now winning in the club and has done exceptionally well in the Futurities. He told me, “It’s fun now. We are competitive. The rest of the people are starting to recognize us. It is actually fun to go to countermarking knowing you have a chance to win.” In the Minnesota State Futurity his bird placed 1st in one race and 4th in the second race. In the Minnesota Gold Band Futurity (1,500 birds entered) the Evans bird sent in by Dean was 6th from 1,145 birds and then 27th from 1.241 birds ). With one more good performance he is hoping to win this Futurity. Dean sent an Evans into the Detroit area and Mike Morris won with that bird which Mike promptly stocked. Vern Dean said that he would compile all of his Futurity races with the Evans birds and send it to me in the coming month.
