Jason Warren‘s mare Benedetta produced a thrilling performance to capture the prestigious Group 1 $1 million The Goodwood (1200m) at Morphettville on Saturday. 2024 The Goodwood winner Benedetta (pictured winning the RN Irwin) is Brisbane-bound for the Stradbroke Handicap. Photo: Jenny Barnes. This victory sets her sights on the upcoming Group 1 $3 million Stradbroke Handicap (1400m) at Eagle Farm in Brisbane on June 15. Jockey Jamie Kah, fresh off her first Adelaide Group 1 win in the SA Derby last week, secured her second Group 1 victory of the carnival with a masterful ride aboard Benedetta. The progressive four-year-old mare ($6) had been building form with a win in the Group 3 RN Irwin Stakes and a close third in the Robert Sangster Stakes, both at Morphettville. In a tightly contested race, Kah expertly guided Benedetta, ensuring she had enough in the tank for a strong finish. The mare held off a late charge from Phillip Stokes‘ filly Stretan Angel ($31), ridden by Benedetta’s regular rider Daniel Stackhouse, to cross the line a head in front. Stokes ran second and third in this year’s The Goodwood trifecta, with his Robert Sangster winner Climbing Star ($20) third. Delighted trainer Warren wasted no time in outlining his future plans for Benedetta. “We’ll head north now and target the Stradbroke,” he declared after the race. This confirmation has seen Benedetta shorten significantly in all-in 2024 Stradbroke Handicap betting markets at Ladbrokes, now sitting at $21. Benedetta’s win in The Goodwood was a testament to her fighting spirit and Jamie Kah’s exceptional riding skills. The mare now sets her sights on a tilt at the prestigious Stradbroke Handicap, promising another chapter in her exciting racing journey. 2024 The Goodwood Results Finish No. Horse Trainer Jockey Margin Bar.

Benedetta has taken out the Group 1 Goodwood at Morphettville. (Photo by Scott Barbour/Racing Photos) Benedetta (+500) has claimed her first-career Group 1 success, as Jason Warren & Jamie Kah combined to secure victory in the Group 1 Goodwood (1200m) at Morphettville on Saturday afternoon. It’s been a long-overdue accomplishment for the daughter of Hellbent, with her ultra-consistency finally paying dividends after three bold displays in Group 1 company this preparation. She finished off third best in the Group 1 Robert Sangster Stakes (1200m) on April 27, closing within a half-length of Climbing Star (+2000) to suggest she would be a major player in turning the tables on Saturday. It proved to be the case in the capable hands of Jamie Kah, slotting into a lovely position mid-field with cover throughout the journey, as I Am Me (+450) and Arkansaw Kid (+3300) battled it out for the early lead. Johnny Rocker (+600) and Oscar’s Fortune (+550) slotted into perfect stalking positions behind the speed, while the eventual trifecta trio were ridden to make a sprint down the centre of the course. Benedetta and Stretan Angel (+3000) surged to fight it out in the concluding stages, but when asked for the ultimate effort by Kah, it was Benedetta managing to get the head down despite a gallant performance in defeat by Stretan Angel. 2024 The Goodwood Replay – Benedetta An emotional Jason Warren was delighted with the win, suggesting that they may press on for a Group 1 Stradbroke Handicap (1400m) tilt later in the winter. “Relieved to be honest,” said Warren. “Just wanted to get the job done for the horse and she’s been so gallant in defeat in good races and just to get that group one under the belt is a big relief and we’ll head north now and head towards the Stradbroke. “We’ve got a big group of owners, I must say to Caitlin Jones and Teegan Voorham who have done all the work with these girls since they’ve been here, these horses of mine… the local trainers here have been so welcoming, it’s been a terrific few weeks for us.” Jamie Kah picked up her second Group 1 win in Adelaide in as many weeks, as every went according to plan as she added the Goodwood to her growing resume of Group 1 wins. “It was exactly where I wanted to be,” said Kah. “Everything just happened perfectly for us. She’s a horse with so much talent and she’s just had things not go her way and today it was lined out perfectly for her. “She just got to the front a touch soon and she just waited with the blinkers on for the first time she couldn’t see anything around her, she was good once she could feel the horse coming to her again. I did think it would be easier than what it was in the end but she just couldn’t see that horse, but it worked out in the end. “It’s so special. I wanted that one group one and after one you want another one, you want to keep getting more and more. I’ve got a few more to beat Ben’s record for the Goodwoods but I’ll be back next year.” Benedetta is now a +1400 chance with online bookmakers for the Stradbroke Handicap (1400m) on June 15.

Couldn't agree more. I could have driven this to win! -
Can't fault the winner Shad. Big run. You're right about the Stewards. Questions were not even asked. Remarkable. The horse was paying $1.70 and Brent Barclay is a very experienced driver and must surely have known what would unfold if he didn't move when afforded every opportunity. I believe Major Medley was going well enough to move at the appropriate time and win. My observations throughout the race and the way he finished left me with little doubt. Impossible not to feel disillusioned when what unfolded with a hot fav is not even questioned by Stewards. Race 4 MM BRANDS MOBILE PACE Show Video MCDOLMIO - driver M Williamson elected to start from the Unruly position due to the gelding displaying unfavourable manners in its preliminary. Slow to leave the pre-race circle however was in the Unruly position at the start. Weakened final bend. Placed on the Unruly for future mobile starts. MAJOR MEDLEY - held up for clear racing room until the middle stages of the run home. RYLAN CHARLIE - paced roughly for a few strides near the 120m and shifted out having to be straightened by driver S O'Reilly. BUCKIE DUNDEE - over-raced in the early stages when being restrained to take cover. Raced wide from the 700m. Weakened final bend. MATAI LIZZIE - over-raced in the early stages when being restrained to take cover. Weakened final bend. BIG BOYZ TOY - the blinds were removed prior to the start due to the gelding warming up unfavourably.
