Horse Overview

“I’m a big fan of the stallion – we’ve had three to the races for three winners – and they are all going to get better as they mature.”
Steve O’Dea
Co-trainer

KEY FACTORS
Strong colt built very much in the mould of his sire TRAPEZE ARTIST – four-time Group 1 winner by the all-conquering SNITZEL.

From a daughter of champion mare SACRED CHOICE – winner of the Group 1 Doncaster Handicap & Empire Rose Stakes, among 9 career wins from 1300m to 2100m!

In 2023-24, TRAPEZE ARTIST was the champion 2nd season sire in Australasia with 46 winners & $6.6 million in prizemoney, ahead of JUSTIFY, HARRY ANGEL, THE AUTUMN SUN & WRITTEN BY, while he has also produced a Group 1 winner from his first crop via GRIFF (Caulfield Guineas).

Proven has raced 3 of TRAPEZE ARTIST’s progeny to date and all won in their first preparations – SPIN DOCTOR, FLYING BANDIT & CARTWHEELS.
