About
Backhander is a 4yo chestnut mare from Australia, trained by Annabel & Rob Archibald. She is by the stallion Graff out of the dam Clever Dolly. She has recorded two wins in her career. On 14th Aug 2026 at Gunnedah she claimed her most important victory, winning the $27000.00 F&M Bm 58 Hcp. She has proven to be a profitable runner for punters; backing her throughout her career would have yielded a 1% return on investment.
