In the last couple of years Gordon Bros have focussed their attention on the birds from the Flanders Collection and Dirk Van Den Bulck with a few direct Pierre Beyl.
These lads have the very cream of these outlets having purchased an ENTIRE ROUND from Dirk Van Den Bulck’s Stock Loft, and only the very best from Flanders.
In this sale we bring to you a devastating array of talent from blue-blooded aristocrats!

They’ve pretty much all bred something of note. They’re outstanding.
The Gordon Bros do not do things by half!

Please do keep an eye on the 2 Grandchildren of “BLIZZARD KING KITTEL” in this sale!

At this auction you will also find grandchildren of several other wellknown superstars like KITTEL, GREIPEL, OLYMPIC KITTEL 006, LIBERAAL, THE MIRACLE and of course the supercouple WITTE DIRK x PRINCESS 019!

Because of work and family commitments (Gary and Niall have 7 young children between them) the lads now only Sprint with young birds, no old birds.
Sprint racing is done by these birds When you see what the parents have achieved with just a couple of YB seasons behind them the reading is even more impressive!
