Clayton Douglas | Clayton Douglas Horses Available 11046 Trapeze Artist X Decoco

With four elite level victories under his impressive belt, Trapeze Artist is the most successful Gr.1 son of the four time Champion Sire Snitzel and now he is doing the job at stud as a reliable source of winners.

When you race a Trapeze Artist you have a good chance of having some decent fun with 43% of his winners being at least city class. Three of his debut crop progeny are stakes winners including the Gr.1 Caulfield Guineas hero Griff. Another 13 of his runners are stakes placed and another 27 are metropolitan winners.

Trapeze Artist's oldest runners are only four and considering that he improved as he matured, the best is still to come for this promising young stallion.

This filly is out of a proven broodmare, the runaway Bendigo two-year-old debut winner Decoco whose first three foals are all winners.

Her first foal Boss Heng Heng, a winner in Singapore, is still racing well in Malaysia whilst her second Rich Again is a consistent member of the Chris Waller stable. And her third Cyclone Coco - purchased as a yearling by Clayton - is a lightly raced three-year-old with plenty of upside.

By one of the mighty Lonhro's best sons, the Gr.1 Golden Rose winner Denman, Decoco is one of the seven winners produced by the three time winning Exceed And Excel mare Coco Kerringle (at two fourth in the Gr.2 Silver Slipper Stakes) whose son Centrefire did a great job winning nine races including the Listed Gai Waterhouse Classic.

Coco Kerringle is one of the six winners for Dol, also dam of the easy Gr.1 Vinery Stud Stakes winner Mirjulisa Lass.

This branch of one of Australasia's finest families - one which has Kite (ancestress of So You Think) as its matriarch - has also produced the Gr.1 winners Desirable, Fair Sir and Seasons Bloom as well as the Group winners Pembleton, Fulmonti, Sharks Bay and Pride Of The Class.

Bred on the same Trapeze Artist/Denman cross as the stakes placed city winner Spywire and the same Snitzel/Lonhro cross as the unbeaten last start Gr.1 winning New Zealand two-year-old Return To Conquer, this filly is, like Griff, line-bred to Danehill... also boasting duplications of Storm Bird and Biscay.

There is also female strength to this filly's pedigree with duplications of the Canadian Oaks heroine Flaming Page (via her son Nijinsky and grandson The Minstrel) and Natalma (via her son Northern Dancer and great grandson Danehill).
