Aga Khan homebred Ebendi was bought by 2020 Melbourne Cup winning trainer-Joseph O'Brien for €165,000 at Goffs' single-horse online auction.
The gelded three-year-old son of Le Havre, who shed his maiden tag when winning at Killarney in July, attracted 27 bids from prospective buyers across Europe, Australia, and South Africa.
Ebendi, who finished runner-up to subsequent Breeders' Cup Mile winner Order Of Australia on his most recent start for Dermot Weld, was due to be sold at the Goffs Autumn Horses in Training Sale but was withdrawn due to being cast in his stable.
The seventh foal out of winning Selkirk mare Ebalista, Ebendi is a half-brother to Prix de Royallieu victress Ebiyza and the stakes-placed pair Ebayya and Ebeyina.
