Leading jockey Danny Beasley was well inspired in asking trainer Daniel Meagher to back Lim’s Bestbreaker up this week after the gamble came off with happy results on Saturday.

The Battle Paint five-year-old ran a closing third in a Class 4 mile race last Sunday, with Beasley ruing upon dismounting the mid-race slackened pace that cost him the race.

The two Dans had a powwow shortly after to discuss about the next course of action, which was to reset him for this Saturday's $50,000 Class 4 Division 1 race over 1400m on the Long Course.

Beasley left the tactics virtually unchanged, again electing for a quiet run at the back, but the finish worked out to a tee this time.

From last, Lim's Bestbreaker  ($13) improved to be within striking distance but staying unexposed in behind runners before eventually peeling out for his run at the 300m. Once presented into clear galloping room, he quickened up like a good thing, albeit he was inclined to lug in under pressure.

The previous three-time winner between 1200m and 1400m went on to score by three parts of a length from The Shadow  (Jerlyn Seow Poh Hui) with In All His Glory (Manoel Nunes) third another two lengths away. The winning time was 1min 21.43secs for the 1400m on the Long Course.

"He was a bit of a headcase but he has settled down a lot now, and should have won over the mile last week," said Beasley.

"The speed came right out of the race in the middle sections, and he was also held up in the last 200m. I told Dan to put him on again this week, and we went into the race pretty confident.

"He loved the ground, there was a good cut in it and he can really let down on this type of track.

"The only thing with this horse is he has to be ridden back, and more often than not, such horses lose, but today, things went his way."

Meagher said the team, especially the gelding's lad Lela, should deserve all the kudos for the way Lim's Bestbreaker has changed for the better.

"Full credit to the team at the stable for their hard work on this horse," said Meagher, the current leader on the Singapore trainer's premiership, but by only one winner from Ricardo Le Grange (11 versus 10).

"He used to be a difficult horse, but the team got him going. The same person, Lela, stays with him, and we've kept it simple.

"Danny rides him in his work and he was again at his best, riding him quiet at the back. The way this horse is going, he should make it to Class 3 one day."

In 19 starts, Lim's Bestbreaker has now taken his record to four wins and six placings for prizemoney around the $165,000 mark for the Lim's Stable.
