| In future Aad van Bergen Henegouwen will focus on the marathonraces from St Vincent and Barcelona. It is impossible for him to enter birds in all the races. He is too busy for that and moreover he does not want to skip a holiday for his birds. As mentioned before he was already tremendously succesful in the National race from St Vincent. From St Vincent he already won 3rd, 6th, 10th, 18th and 37th National! From Barcelona he won 32nd International hens and from Pau 34th National. |

It may be clear the future looks real good for him. As regards young birds he keeps the first round of both the breeders and the racers for himself, the others are sold or given to novices in sport. The babies are entered in the races from the aviary. When the weather circumstances are good enough they are raced up to Etampes which is 430 kilometers. Results do not count, the only thing that matters for young birds is that they arrive from the races in good shape. His racing loft consists of 24 couples, every year about 60 babies are raised for own use.
