About
Empress Of The Sun is a 4yo bay mare from Japan, trained by Ciaron Maher. She is by Harbinger out of Wabi Sabi. To date she has captured two victories. Her biggest triumph came on 22 May 2025 at Pakenham, where she won the $40,000 2yo+ Maiden Set Weight. Punters have found her to be a rewarding selection; backing her throughout her career would have yielded a 226% return on investment.
