First Conquest (2021) Horse
About
First Conquest, a 5yo bay trained by C Appleby, contested the Ascot R1 Queen Anne Stakes (Group 1) (Str). Sired by Teofilo out of Patroness, the horse has recorded four career victories. Its most notable triumph came on 1 Feb 2025 at Meydan, winning the $685,997 Dubai Millennium Stakes (Group 3) – Turf (Race 6, sponsored by Emaar). Punters have found the runner lucrative; backing it throughout would have yielded a 179% return on investment.
