Description

Best Ever is a regally bred son of Snitzel. He is out of champion race mare More Joyous, a winner of 21 races, over $4.5 million and was an 8 time Group 1 winner of races such as the Doncaster Hcp, the Flight Stakes and the Toorak Hcp. She is from the famed Denise’s Joy family being a daughter of Group 1 Australian Oaks winner Sunday Joy and is a 100% winner producer.

Best Ever is a lightly raced 3yo that has had just the 2 starts in his career. He won on debut in August at Pakenham on the synthetic track by a margin of 3/4L. The runner up that day, Queen of Rocks, went on to win at her next start at Ballarat by 1.5L at $1.45, then ran 3rd at Caulfield on Rupert Clarke Stakes day, followed by a terrific run in the Edward Manifold Stakes Gr 2 where she was beaten 4L doing her best work late after only even luck. Best Ever’s last start was at Moonee Valley on Feehan Stakes Day (5th of September) where he raced greenly/overraced after getting a check early in running.

He is sound, stands 15.3hh and has been spelling since late September following his last start.

Please note that Best Ever is a rig and had a tie back operation in February of this year but has obviously raced successfully since.
