Tips from an Expert

Derbies and gambling are the two most common things associated with fighting cocks. But what the general public doesn't know is the business behind cockfighting.
Aside from the multinational pharmaceutical and feed companies and retail stores, game fowl trading is also a profitable enterprise.
And not surprisingly, the winning strategy in this business is also winning the derbies. Those who dominate the fights are also those who have made good business out of their breeding.
In Negros Occidental, the game fowl mecca of the Philippines, one entry name has dominated the stag fights scene and established itself in the cockfighting history—Eduardo Ledesma and Bu Warns' Fire and Ice.
The stag derby is a most difficult game to beat, primarily because the birds are still young. At only a few months, they are expected to fight to the death in the pit. In this province, the Negros Gamefowl Breeders Association (NGBA) 8-Stag Derby is a prestigious event that enjoys the participation of breeders and cockers from all over the country.
For three consecutive years, the Fire and Ice team has secured the NGBA championship spot for year 2004 (solo champion), 2005 (solo champion), and 2006 (co-champion with 7 wins).
It has been said that no winner has successfully defended his crown twice in a row in the history of the NGBA, and a three-peat win is close to impossible. But with ample preparation and a stroke of luck, Ledesma went beyond man's limitations.
