About
Driftin is a 6yo chestnut mare trained by Stephanie Faulkner. She is by Merchant Navy out of Backless. To date she has won two races, including her biggest triumph on 9 Nov 2025 at Tauherenikau, where she captured the $18,500 Benchmark 75 Handicap. Punters have found her a lucrative prospect; backing her throughout her career would have generated an 85% return on investment.
