What the Nation is saying about Benny The Bull...

Champion sprinter BENNY THE BULL (Lucky Lionel) will stand his first season at stud in 2010 at Vinery near Summerfield, Florida, according to an announcement by Vinery president Tom Ludt. The six-year-old Grade 1 winner will command a $4,000 fee.Read More
