About
Rafa, a 5yo grey mare from Australia, is trained by Annabel and Rob Archibald. She is by D'argento out of Rafaela's Aim and has recorded one win in her career. On 13 Sep 2026 at Dalby she claimed her most important victory, taking the $22000.00 Maiden Plate for 3yo&up. She has been a profitable choice for punters; backing her throughout her career would have delivered a 70% return on investment.
