BENANDONNER - WINS AGAIN
Benandonner ran his heart out again to claim the 16th win of his career at Wolverhampton yesterday. He is now a 12yo but shows no signs of losing his enthusiasm for the game. He traveled well in the race and on the home turn he was in an ideal position to strike. It looked at one stage as if one of the horses with younger legs might again beat him but once Shane Kelly pointed Benandonner at the leaders he out battled both of them to win by 3/4 of a length.
This was Benandonner's 116th start and he has now won 13 races and been place 35 times. He obviously doesn't have the ability he once had, given his age, but he has not lost his will to win and as long as he continues to show that will, and providing he stays sound, then we will look for other races for him.
