Mamzelle Dynasty Going Strong

Back in the mid 1990’s, the Ron Quinton trained mare Mamzelle Pedrille was racing up a storm in Sydney winning 11 races including the Group Two STC Theo Marks Stakes providing much excitement for her owner breeder Ray Gall, who together with his son Brett still retain a keen interest in racing and breeding through the many descendants and close relations of their original star mare.
