Good looking two year-old Flying Minstrel will be aimed at the $1m Magic Millions Trophy (1400m) following a demoralising victory at Doomben last Saturday.
A very attractive son of Jet Spur, Flying Minstrel crushed rivals by a powerful display of speed to score a widening margin of almost 5 lengths with Ric McMahon aboard.
Unbeaten in two starts, the Trevor Bailey prepared Flying Minstrel has earned connections almost $100,000 thanks to rich QTIS 600 bonuses.
Flying Minstrel will now enjoy a short spell at Dunoola Lodge, Beaudesert before starting his Magic Millions preparation.
The $1m Magic Millions 3yo Trophy (1400m) will be run at the Gold Coast on Saturday January 15, 2011.
Congratulations to owners Danny Lesjak, Keith Ferrel, Peter Strohfeldt, John Anderson, Dennis Smith, Chris Forrestor, Rob Bennett, Scott Aspinall, Steve Barneaude, Kingsley Peach, Richard Fewster, Maurice, Malcolm & Diana Tyson and Rae & Laurie Beutel.
Flying Minstrel was purchased privately out of the paddock by Grant Morgan of Ontrack Thoroughbreds.
