First Seal
(AUS)About
First Seal is a 13yo bay mare from Australia trained by John Thompson. She is sired by the stallion Fastnet Rock out of the dam Episode. Having won at Group One level and earned $1,259,060 throughout her career, First Seal is considered an elite racehorse. On 4th Oct 2014 at Royal Randwick, First Seal, ridden by Blake Shinn, achieved her most notable victory in the $400,000 Coolmore Flight Stakes, defeating Winx. She has been a profitable choice for bettors. Backing First Seal throughout her career would have yielded a 70% return on investment. First Seal's racing career ended on 8th Apr 2017 at Royal Randwick.
