Racing career

As a 2 year old Trapeze Artist won two races including the Black Opal Stakes. He also finished 6th in the Golden Slipper.

As a 3 year old he won his first Group 1 race the Golden Rose Stakes by a record margin of 4 lengths after being backed in from odds of 90/1 into 40/1.[2]

Further Group 1 success was achieved by winning the TJ Smith Stakes in a race record time, bettering the race time of Black Caviar.[3]

Three weeks later he won a further Group 1 in the All Aged Stakes, and his last race win came in the Group 1 Canterbury Stakes when ridden by Blake Shinn.

At his final race start in the TJ Smith Stakes, the horse finished unplaced and suffered a shoulder injury throughout the race and was immediately retired.[4]

Stud career

In 2019, Trapeze Artist commenced stallion duties at Widden Stud. His service fee for a first year stallion was set at an Australian record amount of $90,000 per service.[5]

gollark: You can have it for just 5 CB Golds!
gollark: Fiiiiine, done.
gollark: Peer pressure!
gollark: _is incredibly indecisive, as usual_
gollark: Getting four reds as hatchlings is much more convenient then messing around with growing them for ages.
