Description

2YO winner and a half-sister to a stakes horse, in foal to Leading First Crop Sire TRAPEZE ARTIST.

CHEEKY AS is a half-sister to 5 winners, including the stakes performed ABBA. This mare hails from the famed SCANDINAVIA family, which features the likes of Group 1 winning and producing stallions MAGNUS & ALL TOO HARD, as well as the immortal mare BLACK CAVIAR.

CHEEKY AS has an unraced 3YO colt named MARSHAL COGBURN, an unraced 2YO filly named CHEEKY DANCER ($70k Inglis Classic purchase by Triple Crown Syndications) trained at Randwick by the powerful Peter & Paul Snowden stable, a yearling colt by INVADER and a weanling colt by TRAPEZE ARTIST.

She sells in foal to Trapeze Artist (LSD 13.11.22).

An elite racehorse 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!
