Al Riffa had very special visitors on Owning Hill this morning as his part owner Mr Masaaki Matsushima and legendary Japanese jockey Yutake Take came to see him. Yutake will ride Al Riffa in the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe on October 6th and it was great to get them acquainted.

Like mother, like daughter ❤️ Thundering Nights - Group 1 Pretty Polly Stakes 🥇 Thundering On - Group 1 Betfred Oaks 🥇

Thundering On 🏆 G1 Betfred Oaks @EpsomRacecourse "You couldn't have expected her to cruise up the straight like that and I'm looking forward to watching the replay," said trainer @JosephOBrien2. Sweeping from last to first with Dylan Browne McMonagle ice-cool careering towards his first Classic success, the well-backed 5-1 shot Thundering On - a Shapoor Mistry homebred - brushed aside Legacy Link to win by 3 3/4 lengths. "It was effortless, she's so, so talented." Joseph O'Brien, who has the live prospect of a Derby-Oaks double with the leading contender James J Braddock (Zarak) on Saturday, was enjoying a first Epsom Classic as a trainer and a first Oaks as a trainer and rider. O'Brien also trained the filly’s Group 1-winning dam, Thundering Nights. This was also a fourth Oaks for @JuddmonteFarms stallion Frankel, who accounts for 50 percent of the winners since 2019.
