Disneck - Mr Consistency for Trapeze Artist

Tara Madgwick - Saturday December 28

Four year-old gelding Disneck was the very first winner for Trapeze Artist when he won at Rosehill in November 2022 and two years on he’s never been going better with a cavalier victory at Randwick on Saturday bringing Christmas cheer for his big team of happy owners.
