JAMES BEST put family first for a career best win on My Silver Lining in the Wigley Group Classic Handicap Chase at Warwick.
Emma Lavelle’s mare found most when it mattered to hold off Galia Des Liteaux – and deny trainer Dan Skelton (right) a seventh winner on the afternoon.
The 17-2 winner is owned by Best’s mother-in-law Celia Djivanovic, who cheered her gallant grey home in the winter sun.
“I think it’s the best day of my career,” said the rider, who has competed on British racecourses for 16 years.
