2024 Favourite Foal Winner

Tara Madgwick - Monday December 23

Firstly we’d like to thank everyone for taking an interest in our foal gallery and supporting their favourites, but there was always a sentimental top pick for many and the most famous foal in the country has now won his first race!

The mainstream release of the Winx movie this year has attracted a whole new audience to the trials and tribulations of Australia’s best ever racehorse Winx and the safe delivery of her colt foal by Snitzel on November 25 was the source of relief and joy for her many fans.

He won the popular vote on the Breednet Foal Gallery ahead of Jacquinot’s eye-catching colt from All Sassed Up to be our 2024 Breednet Favourite Foal.
