About
Persephone is a 2yo bay horse from Japan trained by Kunihiko Watanabe. She is by the stallion Nadal out of the dam Haru Sansan and has recorded one win so far. On 21 December 2025 at Chukyo, Persephone achieved her most notable victory, taking the $14,250,000 Newcomer Race (newc). She has proved to be a profitable runner for bettors; backing her throughout her career would have generated a 250% return on investment.
