About

First Impression is a 7-year-old gelding from Ireland, trained by J & S Quinn in Malton. He is the offspring of the stallion Make Believe and the mare Charmgoer. Throughout his career, First Impression has won a total of 8 races. His most notable victory came on September 17, 2020, at Ayr, where he was ridden by B A Curtis and triumphed in the $19,000 Dream Weddings At Western House Hotel Handicap, beating Spirit Dancer. He has been a profitable horse for bettors over the years, and backing First Impression throughout his career would have yielded a 50 percent return on investment.
