Oaks Goal for Blueblood

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday May 4
Earlier today Magic Millions confirmed blue-blooded three year old filly Crystal Flute as being a late entry for their National Broodmare Sale, but her trainer Gerald Ryan is thinking Oaks for the talented daughter of Encosta de Lago after her stylish victory at Warwick Farm on Wednesday.

A homebred for Teeley Assets, Crystal Flute was placed three times in her first preparation last spring, but has returned a stronger filly this year.

She cast off maiden status last start at Hawkesbury over 1300 metres on April 14 and backed it up again on Wednesday in tougher company to score over 1600 metres.

"Obviously she's very well bred and a very valuable filly," said Gerald Ryan.

"We'll try and get her out over some ground… there's an Oaks (Queensland) in six weeks time, so you never know where she might get to."

Monsoon WeddingCrystal Flute is a full sister to Precious Lorraine, who won the Group III SAJC Fillies Classic at 2400 metres and also handy stakes-winner Lucky Raqui, now at stud in Japan.

Her dam Monsoon Wedding is a full sister to champion sire Redoute's Choice and Group I winner Platinum Scissors and half-sister to Group I winner and sire Manhattan Rain.

Monsoon Wedding made headlines of her own at the Teeley Assets Dispersal in 2014 when secured by Coolmore for $2.3 million and her Pierro yearling filly was sold by Coolmore at Magic Millions this year for $1.4 million.

If Crystal Flute can earn Black Type in coming weeks, she will be a superstar attraction at the Magic Millions Broodmare Sale in June.
