Anita & Tage Gravesen – superb OLR-racers

Anita & Tage Gravesen – top OLR-racers from Denmark!
The One Loft Races have become more and more common!
“A new way to race pigeons!”,  “A more social angle to our beloved sport!”, “A more fair way to participate!”.
Well, whether we like it – or not – OLR is today for sure a popular way to have pigeons!

In the last 13 years Anita & Tage Gravesen from Denmark have participated in OLR – so for them it is not something new.
They have participated in several OLR – from local ones in Denmark to some of the biggest races in the world.

AND – they have really achived top-results!

The pigeons and the results:
The old base of Delbar/Van Riel pigeons have really given Anita & Tage a lot of topresults.
Of course the family first of all gave topresults on “normal” pigeon racing in Denmark, but when they were tested in OLR, they really showed their quality!
In the family we also find Jos Thoné origins and Flor Engels origins – and this mix of lines have created a super OLR-family.

To give a very good example, take a look at 000-12-1633

She is daughter of GRANITTEN (Delbar/Van Riel) and 0496 (Jos Thoné)
She is mother i.e. to:
JOS 078 – Carwinner and 11. Semifinal in Derby Arona, Tenerife 2019
15-6190 – 36. Final OLR Team Femhøje.

And on the same time she is also sister to Carwinner in SCMDPR 2013!

Another example is 172-09-0101:

He is the founder of the RED SUPERMAN line – coming from Delbar, Jos Thoné and Desmet-Mathijs origins.
First he was sire to the winner of OLR Holstebro Cup – a small Danish competition.
But afterwards he became the father of 439 RED SUPERMAN:
2. International Acepigeon Grand Average King of Atlantic Derby Arona 2018
33. King of Sprint Derby Arona 2018
55. Final Race

Also halfbrother to JOS: 2. Carrace winner Derby Arona 2017 (same mother – the old 073-12-0696)

The nestbrother 440 is now in breeding – these lines are also important to mention!

As you can see from the photo above – Anita & Tage also had the 3. Grand Average Ace pigeon with SILVER DOUGHTER:

What an amazing year in Derby Arona 2017!

Again in 2021 Anita & Tage showed their quality in a very tough final with TILLA 747.
6. Final
2. International Acepigeon Grand Average King of Atlantic Derby Arona 2021
11. King of Sprint Acepigeon

She is daughter of 172-12-2459 MR DELBAR – he was 1. Section winner and 2. Section winner himself – 2 times from Dresden 652 km- and back from the good, old Delbar lines!

He is also cousin to 000-12-1633 mentioned above – his mother is fullsister to the father of 12-1633!
And he is halfbrother – from his mother – to JAMES:
28. Acepigeon Derby Arona 2016
78. Final Derby Arona 2016.

Last year in 2022 again a topresult with SASALINE 706:
5. Final
1. Acepigeon National King of Sprint
12. King of Sprint Derby Arona 2022
17. International Acepigeon Grand Average King of Atlantic Derby Arona 2022
