About
Merry Christmas is a 3yo b from Japan trained by Hitoshi Kotegawa. The horse is by the stallion Le Vent Se Leve out of the mare Rose Quarz. To date, it has recorded two victories. Its most notable triumph came on 21 Sep 2025 at Nakayama, where it captured the $15,200,000 Allowance Race. Punters have found the horse to be a lucrative prospect; backing Merry Christmas throughout its career would have yielded a 200 % return on investment.
