By champion sire Snitzel, Trapeze Artist was the Champion 3YO Colt in Australia
last season and has earned in excess of $5.5 million with Group I wins in the
ATC Golden Rose (1400m), All Aged Stakes (1400m) and TJ Smith Stakes (1200m).He won the Golden Rose by four and a half lengths defeating the likes of Merchant Navy, Pariah and Menari.
He smashed Black Caviar's race record in the Group I ATC TJ Smith Stakes defeating Redzel, In Her Time and Le Romain, then became the first three year-old in history to go on and win the All Aged Stakes at his next start.
He was also a fine second in the $13million The Everest on an unsuitable heavy track in the spring and returned to his sparkling best when breaking the Randwick track record for 1300 metres in the Group I ATC Canterbury Stakes.
"It's a real privilege to stand Trapeze Artist on behalf of the Viera family," said Widden Stud's Antony Thompson.
"He is a record breaking machine, just a phenomenal athlete and is by the best stallion in the country.
"He's already a four time Group I winner and will now have the chance go back to back in the TJ Smith Stakes next month."
