Description

SIRE — 42649 ZA 22 “CLAPTON 142”

The pedigree records his Dinokeng performances as:

• 62nd — 392 km
• 81st — 655 km
• 6th — 724 km
• 1st drop at 724 km

It also states that his own brother was responsible for three wins and a Sonskyn Final.

The Dinokeng auction records confirm:

ZA 22 42649 BBAR “CLAPTON 142”

• 6th Final Race — Dinokeng
• R95,000 prize money
• Sire: 0783 SRSPV 17 D “Clapton”
• Dam: 717 SRSP 20, a direct daughter of Blackbird × Balloneke.

That makes 42649 ZA 22 “Clapton 142” a proven high-level OLR performer, not simply a pedigree name.

GRAND-SIRE — 0783 SRSPV 17 D “CLAPTON”

The sire of Clapton 142 is 0783 SRSPV 17 D “Clapton.”

This is one of the major Einkamerer foundation pigeons.

The pedigree records Clapton as a breeder behind numerous SA Million Dollar Pigeon Race positions:

3rd, 5th, 7th, 13th, 18th, 24th, 37th, 48th, 50th, 57th, 62nd, 67th, 79th and 80th, plus a 4th Hot Spot Car winner.

PIZZARO — 1663446 NL 16

Pizzaro is one of the most important foundation pigeons in this pedigree.

The Einkamerer pedigree identifies 1663446 NL 16 “Pizzaro” as part of the Jan Hooymans Harry family.

Published Einkamerer records identify Pizzaro as the famous 7th Final SAMDPR 2016 pigeon, with reported prize money of $20,000.

Pizzaro is therefore not just a famous ancestor — he is the direct father of Clapton, which makes the Pizzaro genetics particularly relevant to 174 ZA 25 EIN.

SIRE'S DAM — 717 SRSP 20 “LADY BLACK BALL”

The dam of Clapton 142 is 717 SRSP 20, identified as “Lady Black Ball.”

The pedigree states that she flew positions in the main SA Million Dollar Pigeon Race including:

3rd, 5th, 7th, 13th, 18th, 24th, 37th, 48th, 50th, 57th, 62nd, 67th, 79th and 80th, with the 4th Hot Spot Car Winner in 2013 also in the family record.

Most importantly, auction records identify 717 SRSP 20 as a direct daughter of Blackbird × Balloneke.

So the sire of 174 ZA 25 EIN combines:

Pizzaro × Rosie

with

Blackbird × Balloneke

That is an exceptionally attractive Einkamerer OLR combination.

DAM — 216 ZA 23 EIN “SCARLET”

The dam of 174 ZA 25 EIN is 216 ZA 23 EIN “Scarlet”, a check hen from the Einkamerer programme.

The pedigree graphic shows this hen bred through:

NWPF 14 K 2607 “Tommy”

×

0198 SRSPV 16 D “Scarlett”

This is a particularly interesting dam line because Tommy brings Houben/Clausing/Koopman/Hooymans blood, while Scarlett is one of the established Einkamerer Million Dollar Race breeding hens.

0198 SRSPV 16 D “SCARLETT”

Breeder from the SA Million Dollar Race family responsible for positions including:

3rd, 5th, 7th, 13th, 18th, 24th, 37th, 48th, 50th, 57th, 62nd, 67th, 79th and 80th, plus a 4th Hot Spot Car winner.

A separate Einkamerer pedigree confirms the same Scarlett performance history.

Scarlett has also continued to appear in valuable Einkamerer OLR breeding stock. For example, a 2025 SAIPR auction listing described 0198 Scarlett as a foundation hen from champion long-distance and OLR-winning bloodlines, with a winning bid of R7,500.

APPLE 2 / HARRY GENETICS

The dam side also contains the famous Jan Hooymans Harry family, including:

• Brother Harry
• Sister Harry
• Apple 2
• Pizzaro
• Daughter Harry

The pedigree specifically lists 13 NL 1395456 “Apple 2”, describing her as a champion raced at the Million Dollar Race who won two Hot Spots in the Top 10.

Apple 2 has also produced commercially valuable stock: a direct Apple 2 offspring, ZA 23 Einkamerer 187, sold for R25,500 in a Dinokeng auction.
