Leading Irish Derby contender Sugar Boy has been sold to Sheikh Mohammed bin Khalifa Al Maktoum.

The Authorized colt secured a determined victory in the Sandown Classic Trial on his most recent appearance for trainer Patrick Prendergast, notably beating subsequent Epsom Derby second and third Libertarian and Galileo Rock.

He will run for Prendergast in this weekend's Irish Classic, but will be switched to an unspecified trainer afterwards.

"He's been a great servant to us, we'll be sorry to see him leave, but there will be no long faces as we do sell horses on," Prendergast said.
