After a productive week at Galway, trainer Andy Slattery confirmed a notable change in his yard, as one of his recent winners moves on to a new home under high-profile connections.

Gameball Sold to Holian and Set to Join Henry de Bromhead

Speaking after saddling his third winner of the week at Galway on Saturday, Andy Slattery revealed that Gameball has left his Tipperary base.

An impressive winner on debut at Ballinrobe last month, the Yeats five-year-old has since been purchased by prominent owner Basil Holian and will now be trained by Henry de Bromhead.

“He left this morning having been sold to go to Henry's and owner Basil Holian,” Slattery revealed.

Holian Expands Team with Promising Prospect

A Grade 2 winner at Gowran in October, Visionarian has been a great servant for Galway native Holian, with Soaring Monarch, Jasko Des Dames and Antrim Coast others carrying his familiar purple silks with distinction.

Gameball will now aim to follow in those footsteps under his new connections.
