About

Benagil is a 4yo chestnut mare from Australia trained by Glen Thompson. She is by Manhattan Rain out of Des Moines. With a Group One victory and career earnings of $1,243,660, she is considered an elite racehorse. On 26 Apr 2025 at Morphettville, ridden by Mark Zahra, Benagil captured her biggest win, taking the $1,000,000.00 3yo F Open Set Weight and defeating Sweltering. She has consistently delivered value to bettors, and backing her throughout her career would have yielded a 20% return on investment.
