The Gerald Ryan-trained Trapeze Artist has re-written the history books by taking out last Saturday’s Golden Rose.

Impressive colt Astern laid the foundation for his future at stud with a resounding win in the $1 million Golden Rose, a Group One race that in its short history has already become a noted stallion-making event.

Press Statement put a luckless Golden Rose run behind him with an impressive win in the Group 2 Stan Fox Stakes (1500m) at Rosehill on Saturday.
