About

Foolsay, a 4yo bay gelding from Australia, is trained by John Thomas of Toowoomba. He is by Rothesay out of I Am But a Fool and has recorded one career win. On 9 Jul 2025 at Ipswich, he captured his most notable victory, taking the $40,000 Maiden Handicap. He has been a profitable runner for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 100% ROI.
