Blue Rose Cen’s 76-year-old owner-breeder Leopoldo Fernandez Pujals (Yeguada Centurion) is a Cuban born Vietnam War veteran, who made his fortune in Spain in pizzas and telecommunications. He was a well-known breeder of Spanish horses but was convinced to take a chance on Head as a young trainer. Out of his five horses with Head, Blue Rose Cen is one and Big Rock is another who finished second in the Prix du Jockey Club (French Derby).
Head has praised his owner for not shying away from any race or challenge and opened up the possibility of her running in the Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe in October.
