About
Drakaina is a 5yo bay or brown mare trained by Michael Grantham in North Dandelup. She is by the stallion Ace High out of Justa Secret. As a stakes winner with $254,846 in earnings, she is seen as a racehorse of above‑average ability. On 15 Nov 2025 at Ascot, ridden by Clint Johnston‑Porter, she captured her biggest victory in the $125,000 Jungle Mist Classic, beating Cessation. She has consistently delivered profit for bettors; backing her throughout her career would have yielded a 439% return on investment.
