Connections of Black Opal Stakes winner Trapeze Artist have paid the late entry fee to run their galloper in Saturday week’s Golden Slipper.

Trapeze Artist was sent out at odds of $31 with Sportsbet.com.au for the Black Opal Stakes but the son of Snitzel was super impressive winning by three lengths on the line.

Since that win connections have paid the late entry for him to take his spot in the Golden Slipper field.

Confirmed that Black Opal winner Trapeze Artist is a late entry for Golden Slipper. Monies paid overnight. @clarkyhk keeps ride.
