Ben's Cat

[Prairie Bayou]

Well he goes for his 5th straight win tomorrow in the Mr. Diz Stakes at Pimlico. I watched him win it last year and the crowd was so pumped when he came back. I hope he gets #5. He's 8 years old now. This was taken last year as he went to the post. I was upstairs in the dining room and this year I hope to be down in the grandstand when he runs.

Go Ben's Cat! He is such a cool old horse and he's so consistent, regardless of whether he is running on turf or dirt. I hope he gets his fifth.

Will be rooting for Ben's Cat as well, today. He has pretty much owned the Mister Diz Stakes and I'm hoping for that to continue!
Awesome horse. Impressive record. 37 - 24-4-3, $1,862,640.

Go get 'em boy...

Julian Pimentel kept Ben's Cat under a snug hold until a furlong from home, then signaled for him to go and spurted away to win the $74,250 Mister Diz, the first of three stakes races Saturday afternoon at Pimlico.

Hometown Hero:






This is something I fooled around with in Photoshop.

It's really nice to see a horse on the track with a happy eye! I think this guy knows he's the Cat's meow!

[Prairie Bayou]

In most of his photos crossing the line and prior he has his ears pricked. I stood down by myself to catch him coming over for the race and as soon as he heard the shutter he was very alert. He knows where the people are and what a camera is.

Jerardi: Ben’s Cat’s fourth in Jaipur was better than it looked

There were several Mid-Atlantic horses on the wonderful Belmont Stakes card with varying degrees of hope. None brought more hope to New York than the amazing Maryland-bred that is Ben’s Cat.
