About
Best Of The Best is a 3yo brown or black colt from Australia, trained by Mick Price & Michael Kent Jnr in Cranbourne. He is by the stallion Written Tycoon out of the mare Cymbalism. To date he has recorded one victory, which came on 31st Jul 2025 at Sale when he captured the $37,500 2‑y‑o Maiden Plate. Punters have found him profitable; backing his entire career would have yielded a 67% return on investment.
