Magical Looks To Emulate Rhododendron In Gr1 Fillies Mile

Flying The Flag’s youngest full sister Magical, will be looking to emulate her older full sisters race record after being entered to run in the Gr1 Fillies Mile tomorrow.

Magical has already won the Gr2 Debutante – won by Rhododendron in the previous year, and is Gr1 placed twice since then – in the Moyglare by the finest of margins.

Rhododendron is now holds two Gr1 wins to her name – the first the Gr1 Fillies Mile and more recently in France, after securing the Gr1 Prix Des L’Opera on Arc day. Magical finished fourth on the day in her Gr1 after encountering traffic problems.

Rhododendron was crowned Cartier Champion 2YO Filly in Ireland and her younger sister looks to be following in her footsteps.

Flying The Flag has been all the rage this season with his family frequenting the international news and his first crop of foals impressing breeders country wide.

The son of Galileo out of a five-time Gr1 winning Pivotal mare stands for a fee of R20 000 this season at Bush Hill Stud.
