About

Raff Vader is a 3yo chestnut gelding from Australia trained by Stephen Massingham. He is by the stallion Invader out of the dam Raffinato. So far he has recorded one win. On 27 Feb 2025 at Townsville he secured his most important victory, earning $23,000 in the Maiden Set Weight. The horse has been a profitable choice for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have produced a 70% return on investment.
