2025 Breednet Favourite Foal Winner

Tara Madgwick - Monday December 22

Firstly we’d like to thank everyone for taking an interest in our foal gallery and supporting their favourites, but there can only be one 2025 Favourite Foal and Vinery Stud’s first season sire Hawaii Five Oh has gained a jump on his rivals in producing his first winner!

With just over 43% of the vote, the image sent in by Vinery Stud’ of the Hawaii Five Oh colt from Foxiest was the most popular foal with our audience.

Bred by Rob Dunnett, he is the fifth foal of unraced Foxwedge mare Foxiest, a half-sister to stakes-winner Silvera from the family of Champion 3YO Shoot Out.

This colt is obviously a ripper and so much so that Foxiest was covered again by Hawaii Five Oh in October.

A brilliant Group winning son of I Am Invincible, Hawaii Five Oh has his first winner!
