About
Persephone, a 2yo b from Japan trained by Kunihiko Watanabe, is by the stallion Nadal out of Haru Sansan. The horse has secured one win, the most notable being the $14250000.00 Newcomer Race (newc) at Chukyo on 21 Dec 2025. It has proven lucrative for bettors; backing Persephone throughout its career would have delivered a 40% return on investment.
