About

Benign, a 3yo bay gelding from Australia, is trained by John Dunn and Krystal Bishop. He is by Sir Prancealot out of the mare Aten. To date he has recorded a single victory. On 31 Dec 2025 at Port Lincoln he captured his biggest triumph, taking the $23,000 3yo Bm 60 Handicap. The horse has been a money‑maker for bettors; backing him over his whole career would have yielded a 225% return on investment.
