Triple Group1 winner Trapeze Artist (Aus) (Snitzel {Aus}) will remain in training next season, according to owner/breeder Bert Vieria, who announced the news to AusHorse on Monday. Successful in Saturday's G1 All Aged S., the Gerald Ryan trainee earlier won the Apr. 7 G1 T.J. Smith S. at Randwick and the G1 Golden Rose at Rosehill last September.
“Yes, I'm going to continue racing him,” Vieira told AusHorse. “It was tempting in many ways to stand him at stud this spring and I've already had a few calls this afternoon from major farms, but I'm getting so much enjoyment out of this horse racing that we're now going to try and climb Everest. His main aim in the spring is the [A$13-million The] Everest and, depending on quarantine issues, maybe he'll go to Hong Kong in December. The aim would then be to take him to Royal Ascot next year, but it's entirely up to the horse.”
