About

Benagil is a 4yo chestnut mare from Australia, trained by Glen Thompson at Flemington. She is by Manhattan Rain out of Des Moines. With a Group One victory and career earnings of $1,243,660, she is regarded as an elite racehorse. On 26 Apr 2025 at Morphettville, Mark Zahra rode Benagil to her biggest win, capturing the $1,000,000 Open Set Weight and beating Sweltering. She has been a profitable choice for bettors; backing her throughout her career would have produced a 29% return on investment.
