About
Persephone is a 2yo b horse from Japan trained by Kunihiko Watanabe. He is by Nadal out of Haru Sansan and has recorded one win so far. On 21 Dec 2025 at Chukyo, Persephone captured its biggest victory, taking the $14250000.00 Newcomer Race. The horse has been a profitable choice for punters; backing Persephone throughout its career would have yielded a 133% return on investment.
