Derby second At First Sight sold to Australia

AT FIRST SIGHT, who finished second to Workforce in the Investec Derby, hasbeen sold out of Ballydoyle and will continue his racing career in Australia.

Hubie de Burgh of the de Burgh Equine Ltd bloodstock agency said on Friday: "We have bought At First Sight on behalf of a prominent owner in Victoria and the horse will be going into quarantine shortly before heading to Australia."

At First Sight, a son of Galileo, ran seven times for Aidan O'Brien, winning a 1m maiden at Gowran Park last season and being placed at Group 2 and Group 3 level this year before running second in the Derby.

A 100-1 shot at Epsom, he made most of the running and was clear early in the straight before being headed by Workforce with over a furlong left. He then finished fourth in the King Edward VII Stakes at Royal Ascot before finishing fifth in the Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby on his final start for O'Brien.
