LAURA IS A BIG WINNER TODAY (GFL 267-15) wins the 2016 South Africa Million Dollar Final Race from 336 miles against 2,161 birds!  Also winning 1st
Country Challenge and 7th Place Grand Average Speed.  On February 6, 2016 the 2161 remaining birds in the 2016 South Africa Million Dollar Final Race were
released at 6:15 am into 70 degree weather and a light head wind.  As the day progressed, temperatures reached about 88 degrees with moderate head winds
and the possibility of some rain and thunderstorms. At 14:55, LAURA IS A BIG WINNER TODAY arrived all alone making a victory lap and landed on the
rooftop of the loft. To be alone on the loft must have been a strange feeling for her as there were usually groups of birds on the previous trainings and races. 
She finally made a move for the trapping area and was officially clocked at 14:57:35 with a flying time of 8 hours 42 minutes, 1130 ypm, a working race.
 
Then at 15:12:34 the second pigeon arrived - 15 minutes behind the winning pigeon.  No other winning bird ever recorded a 15 minute lead over the rest of
field in the previous nineteen Million Dollar Races.  There were 43 pigeons officially clocked on the day, the toughest and smartest pigeons that would not
give up, the real fighters of the loft.
 
As the crowd watched in the Monte Casino Ballroom in South Africa, my wife and I were watching on our computer.  When the winning pigeon was announced
my dream came true of winning this prestigious race.  The South Africa Million Dollar Final Race is like the Super Bowl to football, like the World Series in
baseball. This is the grand finale in our sport of racing pigeons.
 
My phone started ringing, my cell phone started ringing, the emails from around the world and the text messages that were coming in made this moment
unforgettable.  I realized that my plan to win the SAMDPR had materialized - select and buy the best from past Million Dollar pigeon races and build a
breeding loft that can breed me race contenders in the shortest amount of time.
 
I have always felt that winners breed winners and their blood is the future of our sport.  My breeding plan consisted mating UNTAMED DESERT - 1st Place
Winner 2013 South Africa Final Race to SAID IN SPUN SILVER - 2nd Place Winner 2013 South Africa Final Race, 1st Knock Out Winner, 4th Grand Average
Speed Winner, 23rd Car Race 5.   They produced MARGO'S TREASURE (GFL 51-2014).  I mated MARGO'S TREASURE to SUN CITY (DV 02656-10-85) and these
are the parents of LAURA IS A BIG WINNER TODAY.  SUN CITY also bred the 2012 South African Million Dollar Final Race Winner - REBELLOUS!  SUN
CITY's accomplishment is incredible - the only bird to have sired 2 South Africa Final Race Winners!!!!!!!!
 
In addition to 1st Place in the 2016 Final Million Dollar Race, GFL placed 22, 73, 226, 247, 284, 330, 397 ,486, 497, 511.
 
Ganus Family Loft's (GFL)s record in the previous Million Dollar Races includes:  2014 Million Dollar Final Race - 29, 72, 87, 156, 161 199, 238, 293 - 8 birds in
