this is what he says about Benny
A horse like the 10-year-old phenomenon Ben’s Cat has shown us that a horse doesn’t even need to be a major stakes horse or compete at the major tracks to win the hearts of racing fans, and his following continues grow even though it hasn’t reach a national scale. All this remarkable gelding has done is win the Mister Diz Stakes at Laurel six consecutive years, the Jim McKay Turf Sprint five times, and the Parx Dash, Maryland Million Turf Sprint, and Fabulous Strike Handicap three times each, while compiling 32 victories and $2.6 million in earnings.
