'''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.<ref name="Ahnert">Ahnert, Rainer L. (Ed. in Chief), "Thoroughbred Breeding of the World", Pozdun Publishing, Germany, 1970</ref> He was descended through the [Bay Ronald](/source/Bay_Ronald) sire line.

In 1935, the English stallion Foxbridge was purchased for £2,625 by [Seton Otway](/source/Seton_Otway) and transferred to [Trelawney Stud](/source/Trelawney_Stud) near [Cambridge, New Zealand](/source/Cambridge%2C_New_Zealand). The horse was New Zealand's most successful sire and brood-mare sire for 11 consecutive seasons.<ref name="Ahnert"/> Twice he was the British Empire's champion sire.

His female offspring were to produce five [Melbourne Cup](/source/Melbourne_Cup) winners: [Hiraji](/source/Hiraji), [Foxzami](/source/Foxzami), [Macdougal](/source/Macdougal), [Hi Jinx](/source/Hi_Jinx) and [Silver Knight](/source/Silver_Knight_(horse)). Foxbridge's potency was illustrated at [Ellerslie Racecourse](/source/Ellerslie_Racecourse) on [Boxing Day](/source/Boxing_Day) 1944, when his progeny won six races on an eight-race card.<ref>[http://www.dnzb.govt.nz/DNZB/alt_essayBody.asp?essayID=4O10 Seton Otway]</ref>
