Trapeze Artist - New Winner

It might be winter and all eyes may have been on Royal Ascot this week, but there was a winner at Flemington on Saturday that will have caught the eye of anyone with half an interest towards spring racing and emerging talent.

Here is the full list of 28 stallions which had winners throughout Australasia today with winners and result details.

Flashy Trapeze Artist mare She’s an Artist is an eye-catcher, not just for her considerable talent, but also for her abundant bling and she was able to overcome difficulties to score a determined first up win at Caulfield on Monday.
