About

Benedetta is a 6yo bay/brown mare (female) from Australia trained by Ciaron Maher, who is based at Newcastle. She is sired by the stallion Hellbent out of the dam Whatalovelyday. Given that she has won at Group One level and has amassed $2,240,515 in career earnings, Benedetta is regarded as an elite class of racehorse. On 11th May 2024 at Morphettville, Benedetta was ridden by Jamie Melham and scored her most significant win to date, getting the money in the $1000000.00 3yo+ Open Set Weight With Penalties, defeating Stretan Angel. She has proven a profitable horse for the punters over the journey. If you had backed Benedetta throughout her career you'd have achieved a 4% return on investment.
