About

The First Turn is a 4yo bay horse trained by S Curling from Tipperary. It is by the stallion Berkshire out of the dam She Knows Best. The horse has recorded one win to date. On 31 Oct 2025 at Thurles, The First Turn earned its most important victory, collecting the $15,000 NHF. It has proved a profitable runner for punters; backing it throughout its career would have produced a 50% return on investment.
