Very sad, great sprinting filly
Champion jockey Glen Boss was rushed to hospital after being injured when the Golden Slipper winner Crystal Lily collapsed and died after contesting a jump-out at Flemington on Friday.
The Mathew Ellerton and Simon Zahra-trained mare was preparing for Friday week?s Group I Manikato Stakes at Moonee Valley and is believed to have suffered a heart attack.
Boss?s manager Reece Murphy said Boss was conscious but complaining of a sore shoulder when taken to hospital and it appeared unlikely he will fulfil his engagements on Saturday at Caulfield.
Boss?s key ride is the Anthony Cummings-trained glamour three-year-old Smart Missile in the Group I Sir Rupert Clark Stakes (1400m). Smart Missile is the $3.50 favourite with Sportingbet.
Cummings said he would wait for more information before making a decision on a replacement if required.
Boss was set to replace Craig Williams aboard Crystal Lily in the Moonee Valley Group I sprint that also features Sepoy and More Joyous.
Crystal Lily?s demise comes hot on the heels of a similar fate suffered by fellow Group I winner Cedarberg and promising three-year-old Delago?s Lad in recent weeks in Victoria.
Crystal Lily not only won the Golden Slipper last year. She also finished second behind the world?s highest-rated sprinter, Black Caviar on three occasions.
A daughter of another Golden Slipper winner, Stratum, Crystal Lily won more than $2.65 million in prizemoney.
This story will be updated as more information comes to hand.
