Best Coffee (AUS) Horse
About
Best Coffee is a 4yo brown gelding (male) from Australia trained by James Moore of Deagon. He is by Xtravagant out of Arc. So far he has recorded three wins. On 9 Nov 2025 at Sunshine Coast he achieved his most important victory, taking the $28,000 Ch&g Benchmark 60 Handicap. He has proved a profitable horse for punters; backing him throughout his career would have delivered a 52 % return on investment.
