Caulfield Cup contender Benaud honouring cricket royalty

Daphne Benaud is a keen horse racing fan. She will cheer on Benauger at this year's Caulfield Cup. The horse is named after her late husband, Richie Benouger, former Australian cricket captain and cricket commentator. He passed away in 2014 at the age of 84. The trainer John O'Shea believes Benabger has a great chance of winning the Caufield cup on Saturday. Louis Mihalyka, a part-owner of Benaunger said it was fitting to name him after Richie. O’Sheas believes the horse handled Caoiford well.
