"Acrobat made a real statement winning the $500,000 Inglis Nursery (1000m) stopping the clock at a blistering 56.0s - the fastest time ever run by a two-year-old over the course and distance" - Ray Thomas, Racenet, 12th December 2020
"Acrobat was an elite 2YO who we never saw the best of due to an unfortunate accident. He was one of the most naturally gifted two-year-olds we have trained. Horses with that much talent put it into their progeny and I look forward to buying his yearlings." - trainer Ciaron Maher
