Nine-year-old fan favorite Ben’s Cat will face a solid group when he aims for his third straight triumph in the Jim McKay Turf Sprint Friday at Pimlico.
Page McKenney, recently third in the Grade 2 Charles Town Classic, and ageless Ben’s Cat are both on track for Black-Eyed Susan day stakes.
Turf, dirt, dry, slop — it’s all the same to ageless Ben’s Cat who dusted his rivals to win his third Jim McKay Turf Sprint in four years.
Ben’s Cat has won two of the last three runnings of the Jim McKay Turf Sprint. The eight year-old, trained by King Leatherbury, might be better than ever.
“I’m still doing what I love every day,” says trainer King Leatherbury. That includes readying Ben’s Cat for possible fifth Mister Diz win.
