About

Meisho Funjin is a 7yo racehorse from Japan trained by Masato Nishizono. The colt is by Hokko Tarumae out of Sinister Queen and has recorded eight wins to date. On 6 Feb 2025 at Saga he secured his most important triumph, taking the $51,000,000.00 Saga Kinen (listed stakes). The horse has proved a rewarding choice for bettors; wagering on Meisho Funjin for his entire career would have delivered a 71% return on investment.
