About

Crystal Vain is a 7yo chestnut gelding from Australia, trained by Darryn Pateman. He is by Written Tycoon out of Crystal Ruby. He has won 10 races to date. On 8 Jul 2021 at Cranbourne he secured his biggest victory, taking the $35,000 2‑y‑o Maiden Plate. The horse has been a profitable runner for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have delivered a 55% return on investment.
