Description

Precocious, short coupled filly

This sharp, short coupled, quality filly is the second foal out of the exceptionally fast WRITTEN TYCOON mare, HOW TO FLY. She was a four-time winner over the flying five furlongs (1000m) and placed second in the Magic Millions WA 3yo Trophy at Listed level. She is also closely related to the smart South Australian Group Two winner, Goon Serpent and the multiple stakes winning WA filly, Solaia. With these two black type fillies working for the pedigree, this is sure to be an expanding family. This filly offers great residual value once her racing career is over.

She is also by the elite racehorse, and highest rated son of champion sire Snitzel, TRAPEZE ARTIST, who is having a magnificent start to his stud career. A Black Opal winner and Sires Produce placed at 2, TRAPEZE ARTIST went onto win four Group Ones including the Sire making Golden Rose, TJ Smith, All Aged & Canterbury Stakes, breaking two track records in the process!

TRAPEZE ARTIST has been an instant success at stud and an incredibly popular addition to the Widden roster, covering 618 mares in his first four seasons. He’s also proved popular in the sales ring, incredibly his first crop sold for up to $850,000 and has continued to be in high demand. But it’s on the racetrack where his progeny are really excelling. Currently leading the charge in the First Season Sires table for winners, TRAPEZE ARTIST has sired five individual 2yo winners from just 17 starters, including the city winning and Pago Pago 4th, INTRODUCING and the recent most impressive first starter, TUMBLING. He is also responsible for the best maiden in the land, FACILE, who was beaten by the narrowest of margins in the Group Two Reisling Stakes. He has all the makings of an elite sire of the future!
