PEDIGREES
We inform all participants to send their pedigrees to the office address as quickly as possible, and we remind you that if pigeons do not have a pedigree, the owners are not entitled to %% of the sale at auction.
Many participants deliver their pedigrees on the day of the final race in Monte Gordo, but we inform  that  due to the high number of pedigrees delivered, we were unable to find and digitize the pedigrees in the first auctions.

The pigeons classified between 31st and 60th are auctioned the day after the final race, so the pedigrees must be sent to the GPLOFT Auctions website after the arrival of the pigeons, so pedigrees  delivered on the day of the final will not be placed in the auction. , as there is no possibility of searching among the hundreds that are normally delivered to us, and of digitizing them, as all the Organization's staff is involved in the day's events, and thus the owners do not receive a percentage of the sale, which is why we requested to send to the following address by post (originals), or by email - pedigreesalgarve@gmail.com, until September 26th.

ADDRESS FOR SENDING PEDIGREES:

GOLDEN RACE ALGARVE ORGANIZATION - INFORMATION SECOND OFFICIAL RACE & ACE PIGEON 2023.
- Org AGR hereby informs that it has decided to cancel the second official 2023 race, which was scheduled for tomorrow, Wednesday 6th September 2023, and will be held in the next few days.
According to information from the Instituto Portugues do mar e da Atmosfera IPMA, there were several earthquakes in the Algarve today and this afternoon in the region of Évora, the release area, there was another earthquake, and according to our experience of more than 30 years in releasing pigeons, Whenever there are earthquakes in the pigeon release areas, or surrounding areas, there are large losses of pigeons, as it is known that earthquakes alter the earth's magnetic field, and the pigeons lose their orientation, which causes immense losses.
So we regret if we are wrong, and we take responsibility for what we have just said, because experience tells us that.
INFORMATION ON THE IPMA WEBSITE
IPMA: 3 earthquakes recorded in the Algarve and one in Évora
09/5/2023 at 18:20
An earthquake with magnitude 2.6 on the Richter scale was recorded today at 3:47 pm in the Évora area, reported the Portuguese Institute of the Sea and Atmosphere (IPMA).
The earthquake, with an epicenter located around eight kilometers west of Évora, was recorded at the Continente Seismic Network stations, IMPA said in a statement.
This earthquake, according to the information available from IPMA, until the statement was issued, “did not cause personal or material damage and was felt with maximum intensity IV (modified Mercalli scale) in the municipality of Évora”.
“It was also felt with less intensity in the municipality of Montemor-o-Novo (Évora)”, according to the statement, adding that, if the situation warrants it, new statements will be issued.
“Locating the epicenter of an earthquake is a complex physical and mathematical process that depends on the data set, algorithms and seismic wave propagation models,” added the institute.
According to IPMA, “different agencies may produce slightly different results. Likewise, preliminary determinations are usually corrected later, by integrating more information”.
This morning and morning, other earthquakes had been recorded affecting the Algarve.
The earthquake was registered at 01:49, with an epicenter located 98 kilometers south-southwest of Faro, IPMA said in a statement.
The shock “was felt with maximum intensity III (modified Mercalli scale) in the Albufeira region”, added the institute.
At 10:17 another earthquake was felt in the ocean, measuring 3.7 on the Richter scale and which was felt in the south of Portugal and also in Spain.
At 16:41 the earth shook again in the Atlantic Ocean, southwest of Cabo de S. Vicente. A shock that will also have been felt in some areas of the Algarve. This earthquake had an intensity of 3.1 on the Richter scale and was recorded, according to IPMA, at a depth of 30 km.

The Algarve Golden Race Organization informs that it was not possible to hold the race on the scheduled date due to the last race being held last Monday and many pigeons returning in the following days and not having recovered to run the race today.
So we will hold the second race next week, but we have to wait a few more days to be able to inform the correct day, as according to information from our meteorologist, next week will be a week with some days of heavy rain and fog in the area predicted for the race. release, and throughout the flight area to the loft, we therefore have to find the right day, and this is only possible 1 or 2 days before.

8th TRAINING 2023, AMARELEJA-115KM
RESULTS- https://oneloftrace.live/lofts/18?tab=flights

The 8th training session of 2023 took place on Saturday the 19th of August, with release in Amareleja, close to the border with Spain, as fog and low clouds were expected in the more central area of country. As expected, on the morning of the release, there was a corridor along the flight line, and up to Monte Gordo with good visibility and no fog, which led us to carry out the release.
We now see that something did not go well, as many pigeons were missing, assuming that we do not know why, as everything indicated that training would go well, we think that some group of pigeons moved further to the center of the country, entering the foggy area and they couldn't get out.
We regret what happened, and we will recover and prepare the pigeons for the next flights.
Since this week the maximum temperatures are above 40º, and the minimums are also very high, we will wait, and we will let you know the day of the next flight.
Thank you for understanding.

With an increase in temperatures expected for the next week, for the area scheduled for the releases, and being in daily contact with the Meteorologist, Org AGR decided to carry out the next training session tomorrow, Saturday, August 19th, since the pigeons were not subjected to great effort in the last training, and recovered well.
The release is scheduled for a distance of between 115 and 120 km, as only tomorrow morning will we know exactly the best place for the release, as low clouds and some fog are expected in some areas where the release may occur, with indications that it may there will be some areas without, or with little morning fog.

The Release of the 7th training was scheduled for Beja, 100 km, but when we arrived at the release place, we verified the existence of low clouds and some fog in the area. After waiting some time at the place, we found that despite there being some wind, the clouds and fog were not decreasing, so after contacting the meteorologist we decided to move the trucks to another location, where it would be possible to carry out the release.
The release was carried out in Vale Açor, 80km away, and the pigeons left the area quickly after being released, as there was good visibility.
The pigeons arrived at the loft, first in a large group, then in small groups.

EN- Sixth training 2023 with release in Mertola 50 km.

RESULTS- https://oneloftrace.live/lofts/18/flights/28684?tab=three

On Sunday, August 13, the sixth training session of 2023 took place with the release of pigeons in Mertola, at a distance of 50 km.
We chose to release it in the same place as the previous training session, as the previous one was a difficult training one, we understood that to give confidence to the pigeons, we should not go too far.
The release was made at 7.30 am, with clear skies and northwest wind and with a temperature of 18 degrees, which by 11 am would reach 25 degrees, which was very good for the month of August in Portugal.
The pigeons after the release were divided into several groups, as has happened in previous releases, and once again a group of pigeons spent some time flying in the area, only leaving the release site some time later.
The arrival took place in several groups, large and small.

EN- 6th TRAINING 2023 VALE AÇOR- 75KM CANCELED

The 6th training session of 2023 was scheduled for tomorrow, the 9th of August 2023, but after contact with the official meteorologist, and due to the atmospheric conditions forecast for tomorrow with a minimum temperature of 23º and a maximum of 43º, it is not possible to carry out the training, leaving canceled until conditions are good, which is expected to happen from next Saturday, August 12th.
We also inform you that if the temperatures allowed us to carry out the training, this would not be possible as we currently have 15 large fires in Portugal, and 1 of the largest at about 80 km from the loft, which causes the air to be polluted with smoke and sparks, which also would not allow training.
As soon as possible we will inform about the realization of the Vale de Açor training

GOLDEN RACE ALGARVE- MILLIOM EURO PIGEON RACE- INFO

Results MERTOLA- https://oneloftrace.live/lofts/18/flights/27505?tab=three

 Fifth training 2023 with release in Mertola 50 km.
Yesterday the fifth training 2023 took place with the release of pigeons in Mertola, at a distance of 50 km. The release was held at 7.30 am, with clear skies and zero wind and with a temperature of 21 degrees, which we knew would rise quickly and that by 9 am it would already be 28 degrees, but normaly the pigeons would be by that time in the loft , as we estimated a 40-minute flight.
Happened that after the release, the various groups that formed quickly left the place, except for a group of about 1000 pigeons that continued to circle around the release place, not being able to orientate themselves for a long time, and that with the increase in temperature, which during the day reached 38 degrees, led to many not returning to the loft.
We are now recovering the returnees well, and studying how to manage out the next training sessions because next week temperatures are expected to reach 41 degrees.
We will inform you of the decisions we make.
Thank you for understanding

INFORMATION ABOUT BASKETING FOR TRAININGS.

The Golden Race Organization informs that due to the high temperatures expected for the next training sessions, and with the high number of pigeons to be basketed in Benzing, basketing lasts several hours, as well as we want to basket the pigeons as late as possible, when it's less hot, we can't be passing the pigeons through the basket one by one in the benzing, and we don't see any interest in that, because all the pigeons that are in the loft have a chip assigned, so they will register on arrival.
So in training, we will basket the pigeons directly into the transport boxes, and all the pigeons that go to training, when they arrive, register in the arrivals benzing system.

We also inform you that when the official HOT SPOTS races start, on August 25th, the pigeons will no longer be basketed directly into the transport boxes, and all will be basketed and registered in the benzing system one by one.

EN- SECOND TRAINING 2023- MONTE FRANCISCO 5km                                                   RESULTS- https://oneloftrace.live/lofts/18/flights/27502?tab=three

One more training at a short distance from the loft, but which will get the pigeons used to what will be their routine until the grand finale on September 30, which is, training, resting, basketing, car transport, and release. The first 2 steps are taken, and next Saturday they will train at 10 km.
In today's training and after the release, the pigeons separated into some groups and arrived at the loft in large groups, with the exception of the first pigeon that already last week arrived with some headway and quickly entered the loft.
