In the last couple of years Gordon Bros have focussed their attention on the birds from the Flanders Collection, Dirk Van Den Bulck and 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 Pierre Beyl, 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!
Because of work and family commitments (Gary and Niall have 7 young children between them) the lads now only Sprint with YB
No Old Bird 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!
