The 5-1 chance Benson with new apprentice Richie Shakes riding for trainer Fitznahum Williams, produced an impressive front-running performance to create a mild upset in Saturday's 5th running of the George Hosang OD Trophy over 6 furlongs at Caymanas Park.
The 5 year old bay horse set off in front from the get go in the and was not for catching, despite being chased relentlessly by Mudshaft, Thalita and Freedom Street.
Benson covered the distance in a minute, fourteen-and-three-fifths of a second to win by a length and a half.
Former champion jockeys Shane Ellis and Dane Dawkins each had a double on the programme. Racing continues next Saturday.
