About
Best Mood, a 5yo brown gelding from Australia trained by Chris and Michael Gangemi at Ascot, is by Playing God out of Moodometer. He has won five races to date. On 18 May 2024 at Belmont, he secured his biggest victory in the $60,000 2yo+ Rest 1 Metro Win Handicap. Punters have found him profitable; backing his entire career would yield a 76% ROI.
