Blue Brother Sold to Wathnan Racing for Winter Qatar Campaign

Listed placed Blue Brother (Fr) (Intello {Ger}) has been sold to Wathnan Racing and will winter in Qatar for the growing international operation, as reported by Jour de Galop on Monday evening.

According to the publication, Blue Brother has been listed as out of training on the France Galop website due to the pending export. When reached for comment, former owner/breeder Francis Teboul–operating under the Gemini Stud moniker–confirmed the sale.

“With the colt, we had the ambition to race in Qatar during the winter because we were convinced that he would be capable of doing well there,” Teboul told Jour de Galop. “But in the meantime we received a purchase offer and we accepted it. Blue Brother will go to Qatar but he will now defend the colours of Wathnan Racing.”

The Gianluca Bietolini-trainee has placed in five of seven lifetime starts, including most recently in the Listed Prix Tantieme where he was on the losing end of the bob on the line. He'd won a pair of handicaps in two prior outings before that effort.
