You can have FK references from a partitioned table, but not to the
table.  That is, you cannot have this FK reference since you are
partitioning foo.  You can mimic the FK tests by writing your own
triggers that have knowledge of how you split the table, but they will
not be as efficient as a built-in FK test.
