As rules: Non-entered pigeons (NOT activated), may at the discretion of the
organizers be entered (Activated) into the race by a third party. (Note that at
the discretion of the organizers any No-entered pigeons (NOT activated) will
not be sent to anymore races). In case of conflict, the first money transferred
have the priority to Activate. Any payment from owner have priority over third
party people.
We are planning Group-B G.Canaria Training on 3th Feb
(The pigeon are daily trainings and road training yesterday 35 Km)
Group-B basketing List available soon!
WEATHER FOR 3th Feb:
IMPORTANT NOTICE!:
We well know
that Arona-TENERIFE Race are no able to follow the extreme losses in
first Survival Race series. In order to assure reasonable Survival
Race receptions the international Arona-TENERIFE Race Committee over
100% approved and under rules support are going to make several and
drastically changes from now:
1.
In order to prevent extreme long time flying the first day:
If
we liberate at 12:00 hrs then at this time of year it is not too hot, the
pigeons will have 6 hours to get home, If they don’t get home, then the next
morning they have 50% of their energy left to try again. We could liberate 2/3
hours once they are watered. We will liberate more Km. into the island.
2.In
order to prevent extreme losses in the first Survival Trainings:
Gran Canaria to Tenerife South over the sea it's one small step for man and one
giant leap for pigeons. Because the First Step Survival Race in Tenerife South
Races it is a unique extreme race in the world we will apply a unique improved
system in the world in order to assure the future: We will pay a free contest
to Tenerife South Local Fanciers for 200 or 300 proven Old Birds joined to our
pigeons. We are going to have dramatically reduced the risk on first step
training from Gran Canaria Survival Race. The pigeons will be the opportunity
of demonstrate his quality on follow standard races!
When all pigeons are learn to step the sea, then the pigeon alone will follow
the to the Race series.
The future of
Arona-TENERIFE race will be assured!
Our
purpose:
SEE YOUR PIGEON
IN THE FINAL RACE!
Our goal is
your enjoyment!
NEW MOVIE SURVIVAL RACE-A!
TESTIMONIALS:
Hi M. Ledesma, it is Michel L'Archevêque from Canada who actived the pigeon
Beti from Germany this year.
I am in the sport of pigeon since 50 years now and I would like to give you my
opinion concerning this terrible training, I would say disaster. As you already
know the problem was not the fitness, or the direction of the wind or the sunny
time. But I think as you said the problem was out of your control because it
was coming from the sun. Many explosions occured on the sun thr 21st and 22th
of January affected the orientation of homing pigeons. These explosions caused
a big perturbation on the magnetic field for the orientation of homing pigeons
and like you mentionned almost the pigeons don't clear the island from where
they have been release. It is a dramatic situation for the pigeons because they
try to go home but they can't find out the good orientation or direction.
I would like to exprime my personnel experience about a similar situation in
our country in June 2000. The pigeons were released at 200 miles at 6.00 am and
the weather was beautiful but we received the first pigeons at 6.00 p.m. just a
few. Why, because almost all pigeons were still flying at the release place at
6.00 p.m. We received a few pigeons the second day but they were so tired and
we cancelled the races for the rest of the season. The losses were almost 80%
and some pigeons returned a year after.
This is my personnel comment about this desaster training and I hope for you
and yours friends in the sport a very good chance for the rest of the season at
Tenerife Island. For me the fitness of the pigeons was o.k.
Michel L'Archevêque
Club Laval, Québec
Canada.
NOTE 27th Jan:
Under Weather, we are prognostic for Second Survival Race on 3 February. We will
confirm 2 days before. Under last race looses, we are going to change several
things in order to prevent the extreme losses. We are training hard the pigeons
to maintaining the fitness.
NOTE 25th Jan:
We the organizers are extremely sorry for the unfortunate hardness of This
first Survival Race. This was due to circumstances beyond our control, as most
pigeons did not clear the island of liberation today. The weather was perfect (It
is possible a unpredictable little rain moments in some parts of Canary Islands).
The Blue Sky with about 200 Km of visibility (One of most large in the year).
But the pigeons not all come back. We are COMPLETLY SURE that pigeon are in TOP
FITNESS looking pigeon condition in the arrivals on 17:30 this afternoon!
Fortunately we are applying the Teams A,B,C system to avoid disasters. This
race confirm that we are in correct way for next times. This confirm us that we
are on the correct way for Canary Islands hard Survival Races.
We hope more pigeons tomorrow and we shall keep all the race entrants informed
via this web site as we receive information.
First
Survival Race Flock-A
NOTICE:
Under Rules:
The pigeons will be split depending on activated pigeons in each team:
5 Active: 2 to First Group-A, 1 to Second Group-B, 2 to Third Group-C
4 Active: 2 to First Group-A, 1 to Second Group-B, 1 to Third Group-C
3 Active: 1 to First Group-A, 1 to Second Group-B, 1 to Third Group-C
2 Active & any no activated: 1 to First Group-A, 1 to Second Group-B
2 Active & other 3 Loses in previous trainings: 1 to First Group-A, 1 to Third
Group-C
1 Active & no activated: 1 to First Group-A
1 Active & other 4 Lost in previous trainings: 1 to Second Group-B
The First Gran Canaria race will be a Training Race of 3 times:
(Pigeons will be separated into groups (A,B,C) by numerical ring order about a
week before this race)
These trainings are only "Learning trainings" without ACE points or price moneys,
then it is possible that any pigeon in Group A or B should to place in Group C
if they are not able for the training.
How this runs:
First step: The computer assign each amount of pigeons in each team.
The basketing process:
1. We put each pigeon in the Control Computer System.
2. The system has assigned each pigeon that should go to the each race.
3. A committe is going to look the pigeon flying ability, falcon injuries, etc.
We are no able to know the fanciers identity in this moment!
4. Under last year losses and animal welfare trust suggestions we aren't going to
basket birds with injuries, etc (Same to Suncity)
Then it is possible that some fanciers will not have birds in this first race. Once
the basketing start we cannot select other pigeons of fanciers in case of any
is in not condition because most of them are yet previous refused by the
computer system in the basket for other
Trainings B or C.
This is the HONEST and honourable reason of this!
GOOD LUCK AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT IN THIS NEW AND
FUTURIST SYSTEM!
Your suggestions
will help for future Arona-TENERIFE Races!
AND DEFINITELY
Arona-TENERIFE WILL BE THE MORE FANTASTIC RACE IN THE WORLD!

Jose is successful in many different fields of
human endeavor. Beautiful music, beautiful design and beautiful racing pigeons
what more could you wish to achieve? Well it would seem that Ledesma is always
looking for a challenge. Most men would never have considered attempting to
organize a one loft race let alone bring it to International attention and of
all places on an Island in the middle of the Atlantic. If anyone had ever run
such a scheme by me I would certainly have accused the originator of such an
incredible idea of being “a few notes short of a symphony!”Yet this is exactly
what Jose Ledesma did! He successfully created the “Ultimate Challenge” he
brought the “Ultimate One Loft Race” into existence regardless of all of the
negative pontifications the “nay sayers”. There is no one loft race in the
world that can lay claim to being the “Ultimate Challenge” that is not up
until Ledesma created “DERBY ARONA”. “Derby Arona” has within a brief five
years established itself as a “World Class” sporting event.
The marriage of an ancient activity (the racing
of pigeons) with the 21st Century technology of the internet allows fanciers
from all over the world and all walks of life to showcase to the entire world
their prowess as breeders of the ultimate animal athletes. Reputations can be
made overnight if you have both the courage to participate and the horsepower
or more appropriately the “pigeon power” to establish a world class
performance. I can assure my readers that this race is not for the faint of
heart, your pigeons must be exceptional in every way or you will indeed be
wasting your time. This race is for the realist, the brutally honest fancier
who believes in the superiority of his stock and is willing to challenge the
“Atlantic Ocean” and all that, that entails. This race is not for whiners or
believers in affirmative action, this race is for the professional seeking to
pit his breeding prowess against the fury of the seas. You will be racing
against the very best endurance pigeons in the world for the highest prize
money in Europe.
I think, it would be an understatement if I were
to say that racing pigeons instinctively do not like to fly over large bodies
of open water. In Taiwan as well as many other Island Nations like The Canary
Islands many fanciers value a racing pigeon solely on its ability to fly over
the ocean. Therefore they seek out and greatly value racing pigeons that can
fly over an unforgiving open ocean! Let’s be very clear here, not all racing
pigeons have the requisite qualities to be able to do so. These flights are
dangerous, grueling and can and be deadly. Risking flights over the open ocean
requires the ultimate in terms of a pigeon’s ability to orient, its physical
performance, its endurance, its courage and its iron will to return to its
home.
So what is my sudden fascination with water, when most friends of mine know
that I cannot swim a stroke? I am fascinated because it never fails to amaze
me that the birds that we keep can have so much courage, so much raw power, so
much strength, so much endurance, so much determination and such a love for
home that nothing, not even a deadly ocean would stop them from trying to get
to their homes. Yet it seems that the Canary Islands (officially a part of
Spain) has a large, extremely dedicated racing pigeon fanciers community as
well as racing pigeons that face these incredible challenges every race day.
Just imagine the oceans, totally unpredictable, deadly calm one minute and
gigantic 10 storey waves and winds the next. Water, fog gale force winds,
peregrine falcons and add to all of this a distance of 300 kilometers and you
certainly have a recipe for the “most extreme one loft race in the world”. The
“ultimate “challenge! This then is the background for the Derby Arona which (and
I believe rightly) bills itself as “The Most Extreme One Loft Race in The
World”!.
Till this happens we can only sit on the
sidelines and watch as the Europeans and others take up the challenge. There
are a number of long established highly successful and fully subscribed “One
Loft Races” in the world today.
The two that have the longest and most successful track records and pay out
the largest prize money are “Sun City Million” in South Africa and “Derby
Arona” in Tenerife, Canary Islands.
Only the very best racing pigeons bred should be sent to Derby Arona. The
entire training takes place via huge ocean going ferries very similar to the
one represented in the photo below. The releases are videoed so as to have a
permanent record of not only the release but the conditions at the time of the
release. The birds are well trained and given every opportunity to perform at
the very best of their abilities.
The flights are not easy but the youngsters must come to know and understand
the conditions that will confront them. Below you can see the giant wake left
behind the ocean ferry. There is no room for error here.
The 2011 Derby Arona attracted participants from 30 countries a virtual “who’s
who” of the racing pigeon world worldwide. A United Nations of racing pigeon
fanciers descended upon Tenerife to enjoy the hospitality of this tropical
paradise and hopefully also emerge victorious in the ultimate challenge that
is Derby Arona. With the emergence of the One Loft Races worldwide the sport
of racing pigeons rose to a new level. Racing pigeons in exotic destinations
for large prize money what a great excuse for a family holiday!
Tenerife is an incredible holiday destination for the entire family. A
favourite destination for visitors from all over Europe and clearly you can see
why! -
Europeans have an ongoing opportunity to support a world class event, that is
professionally operated at the very highest level with complete transparency
built into every facet and where the birds receive incredible care and
attention to detail is paramount. Jose Ledesma the virtuoso composer has
created his greatest “Opus” for racing pigeon fanciers of the world and it is
called “Derby Arona!”
I leave you with one image and this image is what our sport is ultimately all
about. The face of victory. We all love our pigeons and we all love to win and
this shot tells it all.
BECAUSE TRANSPARENCY & HONESTY IS OUR SLOGAN...
WE TRANSFORM IT INTO REALITY!

TESTIMONIALS
Hello to the Derby
Arona Team,
It's now 4 years ago, that we saw the first time from the derby on the net,
and we will send pigeons for the first time 3 years ago, to be a part of the
derby, to the
HARDEST RACE IN THE WORLD
And we hope that we have a pigeon in the final race, and we have.
We have had a nice weekend in Tenerife. Last year we send pigeon's and sorry,
no back in final, but we have had a nice week there, saw the “Loro Park”.....and
this year we send pigeon's and we have 1 in the final, and the same, a very
nice week there, we go to the top of Teide volcano......
Every year we meet some nice pigeon fanciers from all over the world, and
every year more fantastic.
The gala evening this year was i think the best from the last years, sorry,
for all the people that have had missed them.
The fanciers on the Canary island know that they lost many pigeon's between
the race's,
some race's are very hard. They known it over 100 years, and every year they
learn. The same with the derby at the continent they speak a little bit
negative over it, but they must look to the last Barcelona or Souston, how
many pigeon's are till now on the way home, and that only from 1 race.
We will only say THANK YOU!!!!!! to all the people that works for the derby,
to the people that basked, transport, feed the pigeons. All the people in the
background, and a special THANK YOU to JOSE LEDESMA.
All the video's, photos, live stream, all the mail's, the race result list
from the derby, it's unique in the world.
We came back to the derby 2012!
And many fancier's that we know came back too.

Comentarios previos a la final del DERBY DE ARONA 2011 por Carlos Nieri
Resultaría contradictorio si no mantengo la misma ilusión que pongo cuando
espero a mis palomas en alguna carrera.
Podrán algunos opinar que el caso es diferente ,pues estamos hablando del
derby mas duro en la actualidad lo cuál no deja de ser cierto,pero a la vez
también sería contradictorio dirigir al pragmatismo ,mis comentarios.
Comentando nuestra posición antes del vuelo y no después ,que sería muy fácil
debo dejar claros los considerandums con que año a año, seguimos este duro
derby.
Del Derby de Arona calificamos:
1.-Que es el derby mas duro en la actualidad.
2.-Año a año , José Ledesma pone todo de su parte y no escatima inversión para
que las participantes esten, en mejores condiciones.
3.-Las variables coyunturales de clima ,etc de cada carrera o versión no se
pueden comparar ,pues está a merced de impredecibles circunstancias.
4.-Las inscripciones aumentan versión a versión lo que indica que el
colombófilo de experiencia sabe con antelación a que tipo de derby expone a
sus palomas.
Por ello está preparado a la gran posibilidad de que su o sus palomas ,no
lleguen a la final.
5.-La sensación de ganar este derby debe ser por consiguiente inolvidable e
importantísima para el criador, luego tendrá el respeto y renombre mundial y
un gran estímulo,de por vida.
POR TODO ELLO: Mis mejores deseos para con cada uno de los participantes con palomas ,para la
final.
Nuestro aliento y deseos de mucha suerte para José y sobre todo ,nuestra clara
posición de que en el 2012,la versión será mejorada en pro de las palomas como
principal objetivo y se llegará finalmente versión a versión al equilibrio que
este importante derby ,alcanzará finalmente........que lleguen el máximo número de palomas.
Mucha suerte.
