About
Best Time is a 4yo chestnut gelding from Australia trained by Smiley Chan in Cranbourne. He is by Showtime out of Impact Game and has secured two career victories. On 9th Feb 2026 at Caulfield Heath, he captured his most important win, the $55000.00 Maiden Plate. Punters have found him profitable; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 625% return on investment.
