Relative of Melbourne Cup winner claims her own Cup Week Group 1.

Treasurethe Moment channelled one of her distant relatives at Flemington on Thursday when she won the Group 1 VRC Oaks (2500m).

Media Puzzle, the 2002 Melbourne Cup winner, appears on the Matt Laurie-trained filly's pedigree page.

Treasurethe Moment's dam Draconic Treasure is out of the Invincible Spirit mare Hazy Glow, who is out of Genuine Charm.

That daughter of Sadler's Wells is a half-sister to Media Puzzle, who famously won the Melbourne Cup with Damien Oliver in the saddle.

Treasurethe Moment called on that staying blood to become the 39th filly to complete the Wakeful Stakes/Crown Oaks double.

The $3.10 favourite defeated the filly she also denied in the Wakeful Stakes, Powers Of Opal ($3.70), with Hurry Curry ($21) 1-1/2 lengths back third.

Treasurethe Moment carries the colours of Yulong Investments, which stands her sire Alabama Express, a C F Orr Stakes-winning son of Redoute's Choice who celebrated his maiden Group 1 success in the Oaks.

"It is 20 years of work really trying to achieve something like this," Laurie said of his third Group 1 win and first during Melbourne Cup Week.

"I'm just so grateful to my team at home and to Team Yulong.  They have supported me, this is a home–bred, and to watch her progress to win a Group 1 is incredible."
