About

Gala Queen is a 4yo bay mare from Australia, trained by Phillip Stokes of Pakenham OC. She is by Deep Field out of Festivity. As a stakes winner with $185,640 in career earnings, she is regarded as a horse of above‑average ability. On 10 March 2025 at Morphettville, ridden by Joe Bowditch, she secured her most important win, taking the $120,000 Open Set Weight and defeating Sabaj. She has been a profitable runner for bettors; backing her throughout her career would have delivered a 103% return on investment.
