Description

Weanling colt by Australia’s Leading Second Season Sire TRAPEZE ARTIST!

This weanling is out of juvenile winner CHEEKY AS, herself a half-sister to Stakes placed ABBA.

The colt’s unraced 3YO MENARI half-brother made $70,000 at the 2022 Inglis Classic Sale as a yearling and has been named CHEEKY DANCER (Peter & Paul Snowden), while his unraced 2YO half-brother, THE STREAKER is in the Clayton Douglas stable.

Interestingly, the pedigree page features the immortal BLACK CAVIAR, the undefeated Champion won 25 races, including 15 Group 1 victories! This is one of the strongest families in the studbook with the likes of SCANDINAVIA, MAGNUS, ALL TOO HARD & OLE KIRK all present.

TRAPEZE ARTIST is Australia’s Leading Second Season Sire 2023/24 by both Earnings ($5.49m) & Winners (36). Superior to Group 1 producing stallions JUSTIFY, HARRY ANGEL & THE AUTUMN SUN.

Progeny include Group 1 winner GRIFF, Group 3 winners DUCASSE & FACILE, 2YO Magic Millions placegetter SPYWIRE, Group 2 placed juvenile FLY FLY, Group 3 placed CONCELLO, as well as the stakes placed quartet FLYING TRAPEZE, INTRODUCING, REBECCHI & ARTISTICA.

In 2024 TRAPEZE ARTIST yearlings have sold for $410k, $360k, $325k etc

There is tremendous upside associated with TRAPEZE ARTIST, having stood the 2022 & 2023 seasons at $55,000 inc. GST and covering quality books of 183 & 132 mares respectively.
