Vote for Your Favourite Foal of 2025

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday December 17

We thank everyone for their participation in this year’s Foal Gallery with an amazing selection of babies from all over Australia and New Zealand making it a real showcase for breeders big and small and the task of selecting just six for our audience to vote for is not an easy one.

The winner in 2024 was a no-brainer with the Snitzel colt from Winx a standout for our audience and 12 months on his future plans are focused on the 2026 Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale where he will attract global attention.

These are the images that made instant appeal this year, so cast your vote on which baby you think has the star quality to be this year’s Favourite Foal.

Colt Zoustar x Lazzago – Widden Stud, NSW

Filly Wootton Bassett (GB) x Princess Jenni (NZ) – Coolmore for Cape Schank Stud, Vic

Colt Royal Meeting (IRE) x Definitely Maybe – Armani Bloodstock, Vic
