Hunter O'Riley broke through with a victory in his third career start in November 2015 on the main track at Churchill Downs. After an unplaced finish in the Grade 2 Remsen Stakes, he shifter to the turf. He won an off-the-grass allowance race at Belmont Park in October 2016 and then finished third in stakes races at Aqueduct and Gulfstream Park. After an allowance victory at Keeneland in the spring of 2017, Hunter O'Riley returned to stakes competition and ran fifth in the Belmont Gold Cup before a breakthrough stakes win in the Grade 2 Bowling Green Handicap, in which he rallied from last to first to prevail. In his next start, he finished fourth in the Grade 1 Sword Dancer Stakes on Aug. 26 at Saratoga.
Hunter O’Riley continued to race in graded stakes through his next five starts without hitting the board. He only made one start in 2018 due to injury, and then was unplaced in his first three starts of 2019, his best finish a fourth in a Gulfstream Park stakes. But in the Grade 1 United Nations Stakes at Monmouth Park on June 22, he rallied from well back in the field to post an upset victory, defeating multiple graded stakes winner Zulu Alpha by a neck with a late rush under Paco Lopez.
