About
Gentle Ben is a 6yo bay gelding trained by Bill Ncnamara at Ascot Park. He is by Mongolian Falcon out of Mikabella. He has recorded four career wins, highlighted by a victory on 13 Dec 2025 at Ascot Park in the $40,000.00 Benchmark 65 Handicap. Punters have found him profitable; backing him throughout his career would have generated a 20% return on investment.
