Prepared by Gerald Ryan, Snitzel colt Trapeze Artist was easy in the betting, but raced away to score an easy two length win to the great delight of Mr Vieira who was on hand to watch his colt return to scale.
Passed in shy of his reserve at Inglis Easter, Trapeze Artist was retained to race, which is looking like a blessing in disguise!
As every breeder knows, you cannot keep them all, so Mr Vieira will offer the following selection at Inglis Classic.
