Foxbridge (GB) (foaled 1930) was an English Thoroughbred racehorse by Foxlaw out of Bridgemount by Bridge of Earn. His race record was 18 starts for 1 win, 3 seconds and 4 thirds.[1] He was descended through the Bay Ronald sire line.
In 1935, the English stallion Foxbridge was purchased for £2,625 by Seton Otway and transferred to Trelawney Stud near Cambridge, New Zealand. The horse was New Zealand's most successful sire and brood-mare sire for 11 consecutive seasons.[1] Twice he was the British Empire's champion sire.
His female offspring were to produce five Melbourne Cup winners: Hiraji, Foxzami, Macdougal, Hi Jinx and Silver Knight. Foxbridge's potency was illustrated at Ellerslie Racecourse on Boxing Day 1944, when his progeny won six races on an eight-race card.[2]
He was inducted into the New Zealand Racing Hall of Fame in 2008.
