2021 Favourite Foal Now a Winner

Tara Madgwick - Sunday September 15

The Breednet Foal Gallery attracts foal images from all over the country as well as from New Zealand with a reader’s choice Favourite Foal voted for in December every year and our top pick in 2021 opened his account at Seymour on Sunday.

The 2021 Breednet Favourite Foal of the Year - Exuma - image Lisa Richards

South Australian nursery Kambula Stud sent in this image of a Blue Point (IRE) colt from Prettyhappyaboutit that was taken by Lisa Richards and garnered the most votes of all foals for 2021.

He was passed in at the Magic Millions Yearling Sale in Adelaide and now runs for an ownership group that includes Kambula Stud as well as MyRacehorse and other stable clients of Anthony and Sam Freedman, who train the three year-old now known as Exuma.

He was unplaced on debut at Cranbourne back in May when sent out as favourite and was subsequently gelded and spelled.

Returning on Sunday in the 1000m maiden at Seymour, Exuma finished off with a well-timed run to score by half a length over four year-old I Am Invincible stallion Pietro Road, a grand-son of Black Caviar.

 

He becomes the fourth winner from four foals to race from stakes-winning Magnus mare Prettyhappyaboutit.

The 2024 Breednet Foal Gallery is in full swing so be sure to tag us on social media with your foals or send to media@breednet.com.au
