Group winner Symbol Of Strength (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}) has been sold to race in Hong Kong, trainer Adrian Keatley confirmed on Tuesday. The juvenile colt was originally raced by Keatley Owners Group, Finneran and Moore.
A winner at second asking at Ayr in July, the son of Symbol Of Love (GB) (Shamardal) ran third in the G2 Gimcrack Stakes a month later, before a half-length triumph in the G3 Sirenia Stakes over six furlongs at Kempton on Sept. 7.
“Symbol Of Strength has been sold,” said Keatley. “There was always a possibility and now he's been sold to Hong Kong, we wish them well.”
Bred by Tally-Ho Stud, the bay brought £100,000 from Keatley Racing out of the Goffs UK Premier Yearling Sale. He has earned $39,442 from four starts. His placed dam is a granddaughter of G3 Prix de Barbeville heroine Magna Graecia (Ire) (Warning {GB}). This is the family of G1 Prix Jean Prat winner, G1 2000 Guineas runner-up and sire Territories (Ire) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}).
