About

Persica is a three-year-old colt from Ireland, trained by R. Hannon in Marlborough. He is the offspring of the stallion New Bay and the mare Rubira. Throughout his career, Persica has won five races. His biggest victory came on September 9, 2023, at Kempton, where he was ridden by P. J. Dobbs and triumphed in the $6,281 Unibet More Extra Place Races Nursery, beating Sahara Kitten. He has been a lucrative horse for bettors, offering a 129 percent return on investment for those who supported him throughout his racing journey.
