Gallant Tess was raced by John Cordina, who has also enjoyed much success with the daughter of Galileo in her subsequent career as a broodmare based at Kitchwin Hills.
Gallant Tess has had six named foals so far, five of which have raced and three are winners, her first foal being stakes-winning Fastnet Rock colt Rock Hero, who now stands at stud in Victoria.
Her second two winners both saluted over the weekend with promising stayer All Too Soon scoring at Rosehill for David Payne, while three year old Snitzel filly Tatiara (sold at Inglis Easter for $580,000) broke her maiden at Cranbourne on Sunday for the Robbie Laing stable.

Gallant Tess has a two year-old Snitzel colt that was passed in shy of his $1million reserve at Inglis Easter this year. Named Crown Affair, he too will be trained by David Payne.
She also has a yearling colt by Snitzel, but no foal this year after missing in 2017.
