First Beach (AUS)
About
First Beach is a 5yo chestnut gelding from Australia, trained by Michael Grantham. He is by Nicconi out of Clearwater Bay and has secured three wins in his career. His most notable victory came on 18 Oct 2025 at Ascot, where he claimed the $60,000 3yo+ Rest 1 Metro Win Handicap. The horse has been a reliable money‑maker for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have produced a 118% return on investment.
