    Two legends, or what?
    I always like to see how aiden treats everyone the same. He knows, if you give even the lowest people respect, they work better. Can you show us another high profile boss, that knows everyone working for him, and gives them a greeting in the morning like this.
    Ballydoyle sure is a lovely part of ireland.
    Aiden is a good example, of a smart person who sees things in very simple ways. When people talk about genuis, this is how a genuis sees things, they break down things to its simpliest forms.

    My two all time racing heroes are the sadly late Sir Henry Cecil and Aidan O'Brien. In every interview at the races I've seen with Mr O'Brien, he is always full of respect for everyone and his passion for the sport shines through! He's a professional, classy trainer who deserves all our thanks for making racing so good over the years! He never courts controversy or fuss unduly and that's why he is a top guy!

    Tom Smith, the trainer of Seabiscuit and a fine horseman, was known for almost obsessively watching his horses before, during and after work to intuit where they are today and what direction they're headed in. This attention to detail is what makes a great trainer. It's not glamorous work, but it's sooo important.

    1993/94 season O' Brien aged just 24 smashes the old record of 148 winners in racing previously set by Jim Bolger by having 176 winners, making him Champion National Hunt trainer. The following season O' Brien's smashed his record of 176 winners he set by having 241 winners..this making him the champion trainer of all time in Britain and Ireland. O 'Brien was champion National Hunt trainer in 93/94 season and went onto lift the title for the next 5 consecutive seasons. He had tremendous success winning big races such as the Galway plate, Kerry National, Sandowns Whitbread Gold Cup, Champion hurdle. His most successful horse during that time was 3 time Champion hurdle winner Istabraq. Having noted O 'Briens success he was approached by Coolmore owner John Magnier in 1996 and offered the job as head Ballydoyle trainer. You see the young Ballydoyle meastro was lighting up the racing scene long before he took up the role as Coolmore trainer

    Got nothing against Aidan as he's a really nice guy however I do feel he is very lucky to be training the calibre of horses he has which was practically set up for him by Vincent o'brien who's buying of Northern Dancer produced Galileo and Montjeu which is basically the whole of Aidans string at one point was by those 2 stallions. Nice man and no doubt a good trainer but very lucky too

    Take away the northern Dancer line and he's just an amateur NH rider training handicappers for Listowel. Fact.
    He knows it's all about the bloodline, not anything to do with him. He just drives his car around with his arm out the window asking riders how they are. Literally that's all he does. Then come race day, other people pack up the horses, off they go and win their races. AOB has fuck all to do with it. Vincent O'Brien was the real genius - built Ballydoyle and had to handpick the horses to win the derby, no two horses related.
