About
Persica is a 5yo chestnut trained by R Hannon in Marlborough. The horse is by New Bay out of Rubira. As a stakes winner with career earnings of $1,562,512, Persica is considered to have above‑average ability. On 7th Jun 2025 at Epsom, ridden by R L Moore, Persica secured its best victory to date by taking the $56,710.00 Betfred Diomed Stakes (Group 3) ahead of Ice Max. The horse has been a profitable choice for bettors; a career‑long backing would have generated a 44% return on investment.
