Horse racing news: Joseph O’Brien seeks success with Al Riffa in LONGINES Hong Kong Vase
Joseph O’Brien regards his HK$26 million (approx. £2.5m) G1 LONGINES Hong Kong Vase (1m4f/2400m) contender Al Riffa as the horse who can help further his ambition to become a regular face at the major race meetings around the world in the coming years.
Al Riffa, a strapping five-year-old by Wootton Bassett, has already given a glimpse of that potential with a second to Godolphin’s globetrotter Rebel’s Romance at Royal Ascot in June and a much-debated seventh to Half Yours in the 2025 G1 Melbourne Cup.
