From the TDN:

You couldn't see it as she romped away from the
field, but there is a good reason why Christine Daae
was named for the young woman who became the
obsession of the Phantom of the Opera.
Trainer Patrick Biancone explained.
Let me tell you why, Biancone said. She is a chestnut,
OK? But on the left side of her face, she has a big
white mark, like a mask. I called my owners and I said,
Listen, she has a mask, like the Phantom. We cannot
call her Phantom, because that's not right for a filly, but
Christine Daae is a beautiful girl from the Phantom of
the Opera, so we should try that.
