Jan Polder has been one of the leading marathon lofts in Western Europe since 1985. With great care he built up a fantastic stock of pigeons based on the Jan Aarden breed, (the Steenbergse Fond type) mainly via the pigeons of Jac. Steketee, a hen from Batenburg & son, and a fantastic hen, resulting from the joint breeding with the Bruggeman brothers. By making clever inbreeding pairings, this family of pigeons has now been playing at the top of the marathon races for 40 years without interruption.
Of practically all the pairs in the breeding loft, the cock and/or hen still consists of an inbred pigeon to this family, called the “Victoria family” by Jan. Just look at the pedigrees of the pigeons offered in this auction, “Victoria” is in all of them. Inbreeding pairings are made annually to anchor the fantastic qualities of these pigeons in the stock. We can write a lot about the fantastic results of the Polder pigeons throughout history. This not only in their own loft, but also in countless lofts both nationally and internationally. At least 15 references can be provided from fanciers who have achieved a national or international victory with this family or have won a national or international ace pigeon title.
In their own loft these pigeons produced the following national top 10 listings;
1st national St. Vincent
1st national Marseille

The year 2024 can be described as unparalleled for the Jan Polder loft. As an exception, Jan has participated in all marathon flights this year (so both in the national NPO marathon flights with afternoon release and in the international ZLU marathon flights with morning release). It is simply bizarre that the 1st national ace pigeon is won in both disciplines. Never before in the rich history of Dutch marathon pigeon sports has this been achieved. Below is an overview of the championships won, noting that Jan always raced with “the small basket”, with the exception of the flights Bordeaux/Agen and Bergerac where all yearlings were entered.
