About
The Back Page is a 6yo chestnut gelding from Australia, trained by Stuart Padman in Murray Bridge. He is by Sports Edition out of Kate’s Dream and has secured two wins, the highlight being the $25,000 Restricted 58 Handicap at Strathalbyn on 19 Feb 2025. He has been a rewarding prospect for bettors, delivering a 42% return on investment for those who backed him throughout his career.
