Al Riffa comfortably wins Comer Group International Irish St Leger

Al Riffa (3/1) won the final Irish classic of the season, the Group 1 Comer Group International Irish St Leger at The Curragh on Sunday.

Trained by Joseph O’Brien, the well-travelled son of Wootton Bassett, is owned by Australian Bloodstock, and is now the favourite for the Melbourne Cup in November.

Ridden by Donegal-born jockey Dylan Browne McMonagle, the five-year-old ran out a four-length victor over British raider Amiloc (2/1), in the hands of Rossa Ryan.

Another overseas raider, Al Qareem, trained in Yorkshire by Karl Burke, was third, at 12/1 for rider Clifford Lee.
