First Island
First Island (21 February 1992 – June 1997) was an Irish-bred, British-trained Thoroughbred racehorse. He showed unexceptional form in his early racing career but emerged as a top-class racehorse as a four-year-old in 1996, winning the Prince of Wales's Stakes and Sussex Stakes before becoming the first European-trained horse to win the Hong Kong Cup. He returned in 1997 to win the Lockinge Stakes, but died a month later at the age of five. In all, he won eight times and was placed on a further seven occasions in a career of twenty races.
==Background==
First Island was a chestnut horse with a narrow white blaze and three white socks bred by the Citadel Stud of Knocklong, County Limerick. He was sired by Dominion, a racehorse who competed on both sides of the Atlantic, finishing third in the 2000 Guineas in 1975 and winning the Bernard Baruch Handicap three years later. He sired several good horses over a wide range of distances including the sprinter Primo Dominie (Coventry Stakes), Embla (Cheveley Park Stakes) and the stayer Trainglot (Cesarewitch Handicap). First Island's dam was descended from the broodmare Lavendula, foaled in 1930, whose other descendants included Ambiorix, My Babu, Bob's Return and Irish River.
As a yearling, First Island was consigned from the Corduff Stud to the Goffs sales in October where he was bought for IR£130,000 by John Ferguson Bloodstock. First Island then entered into the ownership of Moller Racing a racing organisation financed by a trust fund arranged in the will of Eric Moller, who died in 1988. The colt was sent to England to be trained by Geoff Wragg at his Abington Place stable in Newmarket. Like many of Wragg's horses, First Island usually competed in a sheepskin noseband.
