Comments on the Inter…
The essential purpose of Golden Rooster Tournament is to confront previous Intercontinental and
Mexico vs. USA tournaments winner teams. Then, next option is to confront teams that had won two or
three second places, and finally big league new teams, American as well as Mexican.

It is amazing to find a certain uniformity in cocks presented by winner teams. For instance, Mule Train and
San José, with their wonderful Perfection Grey and its crosses with Hatch; there are just a few Greys like
these, and they already have an estimated selection of two hundred roosters for next Golden Tournament.

Another team that comes well prepared with Greys is Kerry Robertson’s R&R, united with Chávez Brothers’
Los Alacranes. In fact, handled by Rudy, from Guadalajara, they won last Mexico vs. USA Tournament, in
Tepatitlán, 2009. Yellow-legged Greys are the result from a cross between male Kelso and female Greys; as
the green-legged Greys resulted from the cross between male Clemen Greys with Harold Brown’s female
Red Fox Greys. Other rooster lines resulted from the cross between Grey and ¼ Hatch Robinson, though
now they will introduce in the Golden Tournament some very promising Brown Red cocks (maybe Brown
Red).

Also, it will be very interesting to see those roosters that have caused so much of a sensation in Puebla,
with Fernando Espina; we refer to Toppies or Copetones roosters, bred by his partner: Grey Williams.

We are also sure that Rancho El Saltillo will introduce some of their 2008 breeding as well as Larry
Romero’s blood roosters, strongly tending to Albany and some crosses with this line. On its part, Jorge
Carnero’s La Primavera has a wonderful selection of Pyle croosed with Sweater (in fact, we do not
understand why he did not introduce them in Tepa, since he preferred to present other kinds of cocks).

Cerro Viejo has been very sucessfully fighting their breeding gamefowl: Kelsos and Albany, crosses with
Hatch and Sweater. Remember this team has been fallen down in the last fight, in three tournaments, just on
the point of achieving the first place.

San Pablo also brings Gene Batia breeding, from Biloxi, Mississippi, a result from the cross between Sweater
and Hatch, essentially. In turn, Richard Wilbourn will introduce some of his Red Fox’s crossed roosters with
Minor Blue.

Finally, Mr. Emmanuel Massa and his son, Mike, associated this time with Mr. Fritz Stiles, from Blue Bonnet,
will show some Kelsos, crossed with Brown Red Hatch and some Asil blood.

We must remember that in the Golden Rooster Tournament, every team fight three roosters a day, that is to
say, there is a total of nine cocks in the whole three-days event, prioritizing confrontations between Mexican
and American teams. So, there will be about 50 fights a day, beginning at 10 a.m (since weighting time is
at 9 a. m.).

We will keep on reporting about the rest of the participating teams.
