One to Watch – Hawkesbury

Tara Madgwick - Sunday December 10

Widden Stud’s Trapeze Artist is the leading second crop sire by winners and earnings and he also gave us a One to Watch on Sunday with an impressive maiden winner in the Star Thoroughbreds colours at Hawkesbury.

Trained by Chris Waller and ridden by Zac Lloyd, three year-old filly Concello was having her second start in the 1600m maiden and was sent out favourite after a first up sixth at Canterbury last month.

She enjoyed a step up in trip to chime in with a big finish and run clear to win by three and a half lengths.

10,000 Magic Millions purchase for Star Thoroughbreds/Randwick Bloodstock Agency from the Ashleigh Thoroughbreds draft, Concello is the third winner and final foal from well bred Encosta de Lago mare Senta Helga (deceased in 2020), a winning sister to champion Hong Kong Stayer Liberator and to the dam of Group II winner Etana.

Concello was a $210,000 Magic Millions purchase.

 

The family has produced two new stakes performed fillies in recent weeks in Kiwi based stakes-winning three year-old Glamour Tycoon and Nymphadora, who was a fast finishing third in the $500,000 Inglis Nursery RL on Saturday.

Concello is the 19th Australian winner of the season for Trapeze Artist, who has 21 entries for Magic Millions and 17 for Inglis Classic.
