Al Riffa: will not run in Saturday's Irish 2,000 Guineas after suffering"a little setback" in training. Photograph: Lorraine O'Sullivan/PA WireAnte-post favourite Al Riffa will not run in in Saturday’s Irish 2,000 Guineas after suffering “a little setback” in training.
A son of Wootton Bassett, he made three starts last year for Joseph O’Brien, all at the Curragh, and signed off the campaign with a 1¼ length success over Proud And Regal in the Group One National Stakes. However, the Jassim Bin Al Attiyah-owned colt has not raced since September and while market leader for the mile Classic, he will be a notable absentee.
O’Brien said: “He has just had a little setback training. Hopefully it is nothing too serious and he will be back later in the summer. He has options at Ascot and further afield than that as well.
