Trapeze ArtistAfter owner Bert Vieira confirmed on Monday that Trapeze Artist would race on next season, Aquis Farm swooped to lock in the current $5 second favourite for the $13 million sprint. Reigning Everest champion Redzel remains the bookmakers' top pick at $4.80.

The Everest is still some five months away, but trainerGerald Ryanhas signalled the race will be the Snitzel colt's primary spring target.

"I'm just glad to be training the horse," Ryan said.
