Ben's Cat

Ben's Cat kicks off his 11 year old season in the 7th at Laurel this afternoon. Its an allowance, on the rail in this turf sprint with Trevor in the irons. No doubt he will be taking some sentimental $$s so I will most likely pass on him, hoping there is a square price on Elusive Joni . BC won off the lay-off last year in a similar set-up.

Good luck to the connections and safe trip for the horse and rider.

Ben's Cat retired from racing at age 11

Quote:

"There's a lady who comes to the Preakness every year, and she always tells me that when he is ready to retire that she'd love to have him," Leatherbury said. "I called her last night and said, 'This is the call you've been waiting for.' "
