De Gaulle Baby Turns Heads

Tara Madgwick - Tuesday December 4
A half-brother to Golden Slipper winner Estijaab, blue-blooded Exceed and Excel stallion De Gaulle has produced one of the most eye-catching foals of the season from his first small crop of foals for Quilly Park.

Retired unraced, De Gaulle was just another well bred stallion attempting to make a career at stud until Estijaab emerged to lift his fortunes and earn him a more commercial place at Bombora Downs.

His first crop of foals includes this beautiful filly from Testa Rossa mare Rubyone pictured at Lauriston Park.









De Gaulle stands at a fee of $5,500 and is pictured below.
