Gentle Ben (2019) Horse
About
Gentle Ben, a 6yo bay gelding, is trained by Bill Ncnamara at Ascot Park. He is by the stallion Mongolian Falcon out of the mare Mikabella. To date he has recorded four victories. His biggest triumph came on 13 Dec 2025 at Ascot Park, when he captured the $40000.00 Benchmark 65 Handicap. Punters have found him rewarding; a lifetime stake on him would have yielded a 31% ROI.
