Impeccable breeding! A son of Champion Sire & Sire of Sires in Exceed And Excel (205 stakes winners of $250 million), De Gaulle is a half brother to Group 1 Golden Slipper winner Estijaab, while another half brother sold for $2,250,000 million to Coolmore at Easter '22. Although showing immense talent in the stables of Peter & Paul Snowden, De Gaulle was sadly unraced due to a tendon injury. De Gaulle is the ideal opportunity for the 'breed to race' : high class blood lines at a very reasonable price.
