Bowness and Vieira Yearlings Make Magic in Adelaide – Part Three

Tara Madgwick - Friday March 10

John North's Bowness Stud at Young in the south west of NSW is a proven nursery for winners including Bert Vieira's Group III Canberra Black Opal Stakes winner Trapeze Artist, who is now likely to run in the Group I ATC Golden Slipper.

A dominant winner in Canberra for the Gerald Ryan stable, Trapeze Artist beat a quality field to win the Black Opal and the son of Snitzel is clearly on an upswing at the right time!

Trapeze Artist was foaled and raised in the big open spaces of Bowness Stud as are all the Vieira horses.

Bowness Stud and the Vieira Group have catalogued 26 yearlings for the Adelaide Magic Millions starting next Monday, March 13 with Book I and II highlights below:

Lot 269 Filly Excelebration (IRE) x Sigidas, by Perugino (USA)

Second foal of a seven time winner from the family of Group II winner Pleasure Giver.

Lot 278 Filly Uncle Mo (USA) x Sonar, by Commands

By leading US sire Uncle Mo. From a winning half-sister to stakes-winner Undertone.

Lot 286 Colt So You Think x Starspangled (IRE), by Danehill
