During a lecture to students at the Irish National Stud recently, Leo Powell challenged the students to champion a Blue Hen broodmare, offering to publish the winning essay. The winner is American Jake Memolo with his piece on Hasili. He penned the essay the week before Champs Elysses sired his first Group 1 winner at Royal Ascot.

A BLUE Hen is the goldmine that everyone is looking for when it comes to breeding and selling champion racehorses. They are much easier talked about than found. When they come from families that you have been cultivating for years that might make it even more enjoyable. Such is the case with Juddmonte Blue Hen, Hasili.
