Benny The Dip - Racing Career - Stud Record

Stud Record

He retired to stud in 1998 and stood at Claiborne Farm, at Paris, Kentucky, until 2001 when he began serving at Cheveley Park Stud in Newmarket. He was sold and moved to Rathbarry Stud, County Cork, Ireland in 2003 but was euthanised two weeks after arrival after fracturing a knee in the paddock. Benny the Dip made very little impact as a stallion. He produced no top class horses, with the best of his flat runners being the Group placed Charley Bates and the Irish Listed race winner Senor Benny. Some of his progeny have shown ability over jumps, notably the steeplechaser Benny Be Good. His stud fee at the time of his death was £6,000.
