New Winner for Blue Hen

Tara Madgwick - Saturday June 8

Blue hen Listen Here was sold for a whopping $3,4million at the 2016 Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale and made it a perfect four winners from four foals to race when $1million Inglis Easter Zoustar filly Zaniah saluted on Friday.

Trained by Kris Lees for Kiwi owner breeder Lib Petagna, Zaniah was having her first start in Australia after three unsuccessful attempts in New Zealand.

She broke the ice with a three length win at Taree over 1000 metres and while she may not have the stakes ability of her glamour siblings Shooting to Win and Deep Field, she will now go to stud a winner.

Listen Here has a yearling colt by Snitzel, no weanling and is now in foal to I Am Invincible.
