Saffron Hero (JPN) Horse
About
Saffron Hero is a 4yo horse from Japan trained by Kazutomo Mori. He is by the stallion Curren Black Hill out of the mare Saffron Bouquet. So far, Saffron Hero has captured four wins. On 7 June 2025 at Tokyo, he achieved his most important victory, earning $35,530,000.00 in the Bakushu Stakes (allow). The horse has proven profitable for bettors; a career‑long backing would have produced a 22% return on investment.
