The plans were changed however, and in October 2006 Oath was put up for auction at the Goresbridge sales in County Kilkenny. The bidding reached €205,000, before he was sold to the Martin Donohoe. Donohoe was acting for the bloodstock agent Hugo Merry, who was in turn acting on behalf of the Maharajah of Idar.
