Highland Reel heads betting to win Hong Kong Vase

HIGHLAND REEL HEADS BETTING TO CROWN O’BRIEN’S RECORD-BREAKING YEAR IN STYLE

The Aidan O’Brien-trained Highland Reel is 11-4 favourite with Coral for next month’s Hong Kong Vase, one of four Group One races that make up the Sha Tin International meeting in the former colony.

“Highland Reel has already contributed two Group Ones to Aidan O’Brien’s record-breaking haul this year, and the betting says the colt provides the Ballydoyle trainer with his best chance of adding to the total at the last big international meeting of 2017,” said Coral’s David Stevens.

Switching codes, Coral has also opened betting on the Coral Welsh Grand National, and make American their 10-1 favourite, ahead of Rock The Kasbah and Vicente, both 12-1.
