Chief Stipe Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Group One performers headed by Happy Clapper and Trapeze Artist have starred at barrier trials at Randwick. Triple Group One winner Happy Clapper came from well back in his 1200-metre heat yesterday to win and put to rest any lingering problems from his recent Melbourne experience when unplaced in the All-Star Mile at Flemington. The Pat Webster-trained gelding will run next against Winx in the Queen Elizabeth Stakes on April 13. The Gerald Ryan-trained Trapeze Artist was handy in his 1045-metre trial and edged past Irithea for a narrow win. Trapeze Artist claimed his fourth Group One win in the recent Canterbury Stakes and will defend his TJ Smith title on Saturday week. Both Happy Clapper and Trapeze Artist were ridden by race jockey Blake Shinn. Zousain, Lean Mean Machine and Vega Magic won the other three open trials over 1000 metres or longer.
