Veteran millionaire Ben's Cat tries for fourth straight
Parx Dash
Multiple Grade 3-scoring millionaire Ben's Cat (Parker's Storm Cat) is no stranger to Parx Racing, having captured five of his 29 career wins at the track. Three of those wins came in the Dash, and on Saturday the nine-year-old gelding will seek to add a fourth consecutive victory in that $200,000 Grade 3 contest to his resume. Ben's Cat just missed by a head when trying the Parx Dash for the first time in 2011, scored by two lengths in the 2012 edition, captured the 2013 running when it was first installed as a Grade 3 and posted a nose win in last year's contest. Bred, trained and campaigned by King Leatherbury, Ben's Cat has compiled nearly $2.5 million in purse money from six seasons of racing. The dark bay veteran enters Saturday's Parx Dash off a nose second in the Pennsylvania Governor's Cup S. and keeps regular rider Julian Pimentel in the saddle. Among those lining up against Ben's Cat are Amelia's Wild Ride (D'wildcat), who defeated him in the Pennsylvania Governor's Cup, and Bold Thunder (Bold 'n Flashy), who finished a neck behind in third. Those three also faced off in the Jim McKay Turf Sprint on May 15 at Pimlico, where Ben's Cat got the win by a neck over Bold Thunder with Amelia's Wild Ride another 3 3/4 lengths back in third. |
Also entered in the Parx Dash is Power Alert (Alert), who captured the Twin
Spires Turf Sprint (G3) over Undrafted (Purim), the next-out winner of the
Diamond Jubilee S. (Eng-G1) at Royal Ascot on June 20.
