About

Benzini is a 15yo bay or brown gelding from Australia, trained by James Bull. He is sired by Tale of the Cat from the dam Paris Perfume. Having won at Group Two level and amassed $666,932 in earnings, Benzini is considered highly talented. On June 11, 2016, at Eagle Farm, Benzini, ridden by Rosie Myers, won the $300,000 Brisbane Cup, defeating Sir John Hawkwood. His consistent performance has proven profitable for bettors, with a 128% return on investment for those who backed him throughout his career. Benzini's last race was on January 12, 2019, at Gold Coast, marking the end of his racing career.
