Yerwanthere sold after Leopardstown win An impressive winner on debut at Leopardstown in June, Yerwanthere has since changed ownership and will continue her racing career with Joseph O'Brien. The daughter of Markaz came in for plenty of market support at the Foxrock venue and comfortably accounted for her seven rivals, coming home two-and-three-parts of a length to the good under Luke McAteer. Pat Foley and owner Jim Brown were subsequently inundated with enquiries, with her former Co Carlow based handler revealing: "She could have been sold ten times over." He went on to say: "She was bought by an American owner and is in training with Joseph O'Brien. "There were enquiries from America, Australia, the UK and Ireland after her win. She was very impressive. "We always liked her and from day one her work was good. We always knew she was a little bit different. It was no surprise that she done what she done at Leopardstown. "Obviously you'd love to be able to hold on to horses like her. The way things are now you'd have to be advising owners to sell when the offers come in. "Hopefully she'll do well for her new connections."
