About
Forbidden Riff is a 5yo bay gelding from Australia trained by Richard & Will Freedman at Rosehill. He is by the stallion Casino Prince out of the dam Skim. So far he has notched five wins, with his biggest victory coming on 13 Dec 2025 at Beaumont when he took the $45,000 Midway 5yo&up Bm 64 Hcp. He has been a profitable runner for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have produced a 10% return on investment.
