In 2008 both Ruby at 13 yrs. and Scarlett at 9 yrs. will be retired to be replace by fantails and mice traps. Scarlett

Thank you so much "Ruby" for all the pleasures you brought to my family, friends and
to myself. I'll never forget you. We here will miss you so very much, we will love you to the end of time. There is no words
to express the pain we are feeling, there is no other animal out there that will or can replace you. We all will miss
you, and love you forever "RUBY".

Biography: Valente Loft
I'm a member of the Borden Racing Pigeon
Club, which I have been racing since 1984, but have kept pigeons since I was 9 years old. Started racing in 1972, together
with the West York Racing Pigeon Club with very little success of winning any positions in the top 16. My racing career abruptly
came to a halt, because marriage became a reality in my life, and after moving to an apartment, the life of keeping pigeons,
was not allowed. In 1984 I move to Gilford Ontario and there I decided to set my roots for a new pigeon loft.
Well with the assistance of some good
friends, and purchasing better pigeons, I came a long way since then. The feeling of being on top of the race sheet is a reality
now, but staying there is another story. Now I'm at a stage in my Pigeon career that, its time to get serious and find a winning
family which will respond to my management techniques, and win constantly.

2007
I'm still currently flying with the Borden Racing Pigeon Club which
consists of 20 paid members which I also belong to the Up North Combine, which has 180 paid members with bounders of 80km
by 120km. I have never experienced as many birds on a drop as I have this year with these new birds. In previous years, I
would loose a lot of pigeons from the long distance races. However, with these new birds, the returns are phenomenal even
in the last leg of races. I'm currently winning 5 club races and 1st and 2nd U.N.C. North Bay Race. Thanks to the new family
of birs that was introduced. I was overwhelmed with excitement, race after race knowing that I'm now beating top fliers in
our strong combine. These new birds showed that they can be raced week after week without any rest, and still remain extremely
competitive. I noticed that my friends pigeons showed no weakness in their health and hardly any losses no matter how hard
the race was. Thank you very much, for setting me up with these world class pigeons. I was telling my wife Lucy, that before
I pass away, the only thing I ever wanted was to obtain world class pigeons and be very competitive. Through my good friends,
also partners, Joe Ferreira's guidance, I was able to become a well respected pigeon flier regarding my results. I'm very
happy with these new Pigeons, and many thanks goes to my family of friends that made my dream come true and made it happen
for me.
