About
West Now is a 4yo colt from Japan trained by Ryo Terashima. He is by the stallion Kizuna out of the mare Favola. So far he has claimed four victories. On 15 Nov 2025 at Kyoto he captured his most important win, earning $53,480,000 in a Class 1 race. He has proved a profitable choice for bettors; backing West Now throughout his career would have yielded a 150% return on investment.
