“One of the wonderful things, and there are many, about O’Brien is that he’s always his own man. He should be a shoo-in for Sports Personality of the Year but probably won’t win it. Aidan O’Brien, the highest achiever in Irish sport, is so great we take him for granted.” Eamonn Sweeney , Sunday Independent, 29/9/17

record breaker! Aidan O’Brien surpassed the record set by the late Bobby Frankel when SAXoNWARRIoR won the Racing Post Trophy-Gr.1 to become his 26th Gr.1 winner of the season. A week later MENDELSSoHN made it number 27 when he landed the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf-Gr.1. Both horses look to be exciting sire prospects for the future.

“history will be kind to me for i intend to write it.” sirwinston churchill

Seventy six years to the day after Churchill delivered his ‘finest hour’ speech in the House of Commons, Ballydoyle’s Churchill carved out his own piece of history by becoming the first son of Galileo to score at Royal Ascot as a two-year-old. He went undefeated for the remainder of the season, was crowned European Champion 2-Year-Old and recorded the Guineas double the following spring. What’s more he’s a stunning individual by the best sire in the world and from a brilliantly fast family. History in the making!

“ probably more imposing a 2-year-old than we’ve ever trained. He’s massive, he’s big, powerful with a great mind. ” Aidan O’Brien on Churchill

“ for most horses, getting blocked in during the hottest part of a group 1 proves fatal for their chances. Not so Churchill, whose superior ability allowed him to transform a bona fide hard-luck story into nothing more than a momentary scare en route to the biggest win of a wonderfully exciting career ” RACING P O ST , 9/10/16 , on the Dewhurst Stakes
