Benevengo Takes on Older Horses in Claiming Crown Jewel
Benevengo takes on older horses in Claiming Crown Jewel.
Benevengo won the Polynesian Stakes. Jesse Cruz is excited about the Claiming Crown. Benny is lightly raced and will be tested against older horses. Cruz has trained since he was 23. His mother was an assistant in a barn of 30 horses and taught him everything he knows about horses, which he learned from his mother. He went to work for trainer Ollie Figgins III. He was born into the sport. Alejandro Cruz was a jockey and his stepdad Lewis Craig Jr. is a trainer. The Claimed Crown is the biggest race Jesse has ever run in.
