The greatest trainer. Just watch him after Washintons Guineas win
He was right. Great Derby win for City of Troy
Mans a genuis and people have the nerve to question him. Few you must of lost 50 cent on one of his horses before
Brilliant interview by Jonny Ward.
Northern Dancer blood, changed the breed worldwide, Vincent first now Aidan now.
I was a City of Troy big fan , and l felt last year that Arabian Crown was his main challenger .
My heart is still of course with City of Troy , but l'm afraid its Arabian Crown for me now , he is a beautiful mover .
Charlie is going much better this year , as he said last year he would 💚
Arabian crown non runner
@@davescott5989 Bad news , they are not machines .
It will lessen the hoopla involved with the Derby .
Only 2 weeks to go . There are big races like the King George that are very interesting but there is nothing like the Derby .
OBrien said a race like the Derby takes a lot out of a horse, if you are a winner or highly placed .
It must be the case , a situation l'm afraid l have not given much attention to .
He is very interesting guy ,O'Brien , he seems very confident again about Troy , this will worry the rest of them 💚
what a great training facility !!!
COT been flying on gallops ,races on bit eases past LA and Luxembourg 10 furlong spin
well Done Aidian. I always keep the horsey people in my prayers.
Have a good summer , wish you a fabalous horsey year.
Aidan is the best trainer ever 😊
Vincent o brien and Henry cecil
AOB is the best ever.
Stats. Don't. Lie.
@@shanecopner7827 Henry Cecil a great Trainer,but he is not in the same league as A.P.O'Brien, Statistics will show that,he never won an Arc as an Example.
Frankel
I get sick of theee obviously clueless 'fans' who think Cecil was some kind of god because of Frankel 😂😂😂
Neither horse or trainer will ever be classed as the greatest im afraid..
Fooled by the media hype around them it seems some folk!
I notice that coolmore doesn't have many horses by the sire called Sea the Stars.
Related via northern dancer
They had his father
They never had cape cross.@@deniswallace-vp9tb
@@deniswallace-vp9tb They had his 1/2 brother not his father and most of their mares are by his half brother hence they cant go to STS
@deniswallace-vp9tb sea the stars father was Cape Cross, owned by godolphin
When Mr O'Brien speaks everyone listens why because he's the best trainer in the world.
Y'all got lucky. Hidden Law had this year's derby sewn up
The flashy horse the one that every one is talking about, is what makes horse racing the great sport that it is . But they are not machines and thats what keeps all the experts in check, including myself 💚
Great comment !!🐎🐎🐎
City of Troy will win the Derby further than Troy ever did....
No accounting for stupidity.
Hope the followers were on at 8's 💪

i think Aiden is getting mixed up with Forever Together , City of Troys dam Together Forever didnt win the Oaks , she didnt win A race at 3
She won the Yorkshire oaks
@@damienodonnell4668 Rubbish
@@damienodonnell4668 she didnt . she ran 3 times as A 3 year old and didnt win any
So Martin/Martha Lewis took 8's but to teeny tiny stakes cos he's a teeny tiny punter..Not in the same league as Frankelforever14 and Zarkava8
#Can'tplaywiththebigguns
Just hoping I can 10.1
Diego Velazquez got my eye at a good ew price, not sure you can go on City of Troy unless he moves out to 4’s and above. Expect Godolphin to throw Ancient Wisdom in, would be a good ew punt.
The man just said there is only one way to find out what a horse can do , yet the keyboard warriors know it beforehand. That’s why Aidan is Aidan etc…….
What's happened to opera singer?
the fat lady sang.
COT is an absolute penalty kick
Yeah an England penalty kick ⚽️🤣🤡
gareth southgate stepping up good luck
Well you are an optimist
Over the bar for me.
Shocking how people are convinced a horse has lost all ability after 1 bad comeback run... absolutely ridiculous!
Not even think to ask about any of the fillies?
U can tell adian dnt want to do this interview or can't wait for it to end u can tell he has better things to be doing on his watch instead talking to person who is clueless but this questioning him 😅
I always take whatever AOB says with a grain of salt but those saying "he didn't train on" might be in for a surprise. The way horse racing works is that the money is in breeding. City of Troy did enough at two with his pedigree to command high stud fees without even racing at three. If he didn't train on, Coolmore would have said he picked up some injury and had to be retired to stud. AOB might be wrong, be he does believe this horse is going to run well going forward.
he ran on a straight track stepping up in trip... horse wants a rail, gains furlongs over horses around bends. 2 turn dirt horse...
@@aman2340 I thought the same thing about Auguste Rodin,, but moreso with this one and I think AOB has said he's pointing for the Travers at SAR. I would imagine that if he's successful, he would head to the BC Classic.
Since Arabian Crown Is OUT!! All The PRESSURE Is On Ciry Of Troy!! Either Aidan's Horse Can Make Up The Terrible Performance That He Had Last Time? Or He Just Needs A Break From Racing!!❤😊
A lot of pocket talk in the comments
If that thing wins the Derby I’ll give the game up. 😩
Why?
nice interview great to hear from aidan all the same. But City of troy is a dirt horse should of bring him the preakness and belmot would of beat everyone over there.
I think that 🤔 city is a good 👍thing 🤔 in Derby ❤
Yes I'm a scholar of Latin myself, whatever it is I fear the " geeks" even when they are bringing gifts
If missing the break meant a horse would run dire, then every winner would have to get a good break.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
What a comment.
🤡
it's not about missing the break rather struggled at the gate got hot sweated then blew his load.
All these clowns seem to know more about training than the greatest ever 😂😂
Maybe he hasn't trained on. I remember gorytus trained by dick hern . Was champion 2 year old. Never did entin at 3. We will see Saturday.
What a hirse does at 2 it has only relevance if It trains in at 3 .there have been many great champion 2yos that dont
So the derby will tell all.
So, first he lauds the horse’s character AND personality… but, on being loaded, the same animal falls apart because he does something unusual for himself - “CHARGES !? the gate” - that sounds like quite the existential excuse. We shall see, at Epsom.
well you saw
The horse will win the Derby, he banged his head on the gate and was seeing the stars😂
Sounds just like an excuse.
I get it-clever comment.
My own contribution
“Timeō Danaōs et dōna ferentēs”
Just change Danaos to “Irish trainers”
The horse won the Derby
More rogue accounts mentioning my name yet again to gain traction.
Come on Frankel enough is enough 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Does part of you not think that hes one of the greatest trainers ever and to have the kind of confidence in the horse to compare him to Frankel means hes very good?
Anyone with eyes can see that he jumped to quickly and bombed out. If the plan was always to go to the Derby, then he'd have to be godly to overcome issues and win from the front against the field he was up against over a mile. Have some common sense
According to the Racing TV commentary, City of Troy broke well. Aiden suggesting City of Troy didn't break well. Screams, I don't really know why my horse was beaten, but desperately want to find an excuse for the poor run, irrespective of how implausible it may sound.
He will win the Derby but not with COT , likewise Rubiesarered over Ylang Ylang in the Oaks
Aidan is just trolling
He’s not he’s a cheating bastard
I've a feeling City of Troy wasn't out if box all winter until guineas. Aidan goal is Derby and ARC or possibly BREEDERS CUP CLASSIC 🥤
Horse looked like he still had winter coat and I was not confident looking at horse in parade ring.
My analysis is he will win Derby by 19 lengths.
City Of Troy will be in the last 4 on Derby day. You have been warned.
This will go viral.
Yes but opinions are like bums everybody has one
@@Martin.Lewis.. You mean like telling everyone Auguste "the monster" Rodin would win last year's king George?
@@bertgerry2945 Auguste Rodin made you look a complete mug last year pal and COT will do the exact same.
#historyrepeats
@@Martin.Lewis.. Correction child. Everytime you come on UA-cam with predictions about O'Brien's horses will win this or that group 1 race you put a king-size curse on the poor nags. Do tell us who will the Epsom Oaks, Coronation Cup, and The Epsom Derby? We will steer well clear of these horses as far as backing them.
Can’t wait to get past this Derby . Tired of hearing about City of Troy . If he wins, credit where credit is due proper horse but if he bombs out lets call a spade a spade and move on . Not a list of excuses as to why he lost .Please .
Troy boy was a champion 2yo, a real speed horse over 7f and thats it, even if he gets over whatever stopped him at Newmarket he will not stay more than 7f
Oh. Dear..
Are Aidan and Anne Marie still together? Doesnt sound like it.
Just watch, troy will piss derby, and you will never again get 4/1 again on him, I'm lumping on, 🎉
Correct Gaz 💪
This horse is a superstar.
When AOB talks - the world listens..
@@Martin.Lewis.. I'm more sir mickey the bookie basher, all the quality tips, and a great man too, good crak as well 👌
@@Martin.Lewis.. There is always an excuse
@@galdessa1 you were born an excuse.
Did that fool say, August Rodin has had an up and down career.
2 derbies and breeders cup turf. What more can a horse win.
Something is dodgy about city of troy running in the guineas.
Aiden just trying to protect the horses stud value 🤣 will be rubbish in the Derby and the lads will make their excuses and the horse will be packed off to stud 😂🫏🫏🫏🫏🫏
🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
exactly ,,worth millions, aidan taking the blame,,,,i reckon he wont see the derby,, horse will have a set back, and go to stud
Watch him fly home & silence use
@@Brandon-rs3yr So he’s Pegasus now is he 🫏 🦅🤣
well said that man remember thundermoon shale saxon warrior
honestly he's a good horse you can see his quality but i can also see from a mile away those skinny dirt runner legs he's a northern dancer... they are prominent skinny legs and i can tell you now he wont be the best of the best on the turf! hasnt got the legs! legs will be problem not strong enough to get through heavy turf... bring him to america or dubai.. no point trying to inject this justify blood on the turf i know whats happening there im not blind... he'll be packed up and sent back either way.....
those skinny legs created dirt racing :-) why? because they couldn't handle turf or sand.. they are easily damaged legs. weak.. needs lots of recovery, easily chips, will like all dirt goings... he has same legs as mystik dan... will like dirt goings with bit juice in it.
he hasn't got a brilliant neck or intelligent head temperament isn't anything worth noting or at least worth mentioning...compare him to mystik dan and he's a boy in my honest opinion. This is nothing got to do with size or shape any of that, it's Aura, (swag) whatever you like to call it yourself., In fact I would say mystik dan is a smaller horse in height length etc but troy does not have a flowing carriage like dan look at how dan walks his head dips slightly below neck/shoulder height he's docile and relaxed at all times like an old mare. Almost like if you were to say "sit boy" he would sit like a dog for you... he's ready to be commanded without extrusive thoughts and patterns going on in his mind that constantly spooks his head and disrupts his body and legs, wasting his energy and making him not focus on whats in front of him. He's Northern dancer on the turf running out of time that's what i can see.
and the elephant in the room that's not discussed... can he even make the mile or 9f? i doubt it, not on turf anyway. Either likes it fast and short at 6 and 7 or likes to have long gallop over the mile and 6. I guess we'll see on derby day what those little skinny legs can do.
A Northern Dancer? The sire of countless group one turf horses in Europe including the last triple crown winner in Nijinsky. If he's inherited that bloodline then the Derby should be right up his street. Northern Dancer is the sire of sires more so on turf than dirt.
@@martinclail9290 haha you completely missed my point northern dancer himself not his offspring i already know about northern dancers offspring haha what do you think i didnt know northern dancer has turf offspring and chasers and hurdlers? idiot of course i know i wouldnt be able to tell you what type a horse is if i didnt know who northern dancer was, your lack of awareness in this case is funny read the room do i sound like a person who knows nothing about the dancer when i just made a comparison to him? im talking about northern dancer himself.... he was a dirt horse had skinny legs and ran a mile and struggled to run the 10. he had skinny prominent legs and rounded body just like this lad.. he's the same archetype as him. it has nothing got to do with northern dancers offspring, it's the archetype that was northern dancer that's what this lad is, and he will run way better on dirt is my entire point..
Come on Aidan , fork out a bit of money, look what J P McManus does for Ireland, and Limerick, money for every Gaa clubs in Ireland,Hospitals, disabilitys, the list is long, its time for you Aidan to put your hand in your pocket.
Why should adian do that
@@robertdelacy3434 because he can , charity goes a long way,
Aidan doesn't have that sort of money, I think you meant Magnier, Tabor and co. I'm sure they all do their bit for the world they just don't make it common knowledge where their charitable donations are going.
@@frankelforever14 she dosent realise jp macmanus an john magnier don't pay tax in Ireland
Yet more "lads"
One major tip for derby but invest 200 each way and pay me bak half winings. All i will say is BJ. Figure it out its 16 /1.
He the best 😅 what a load of shit 😅
Clown😅😅😅
Aidan just talking nonsense, absolute crap about the stalls, he has one job and he messed it up and doesn't have a clue why.
He talked the same nonsense last year about Auguste Rodin and look what he did. If it was a different horse and a different trainer you wouldn't touch him with a barge pole but this is the legend AOB. Good luck laying him on Betfair.
@alanlowater158 you've got more common sense than 90% of the punting public and racing fans
@alanlowater158 difference is city of troy is built like a pony. Very narrow frame, has to be a big question of whether he's trained on. Also huge doubts about him getting the trip.
Will be looking to place lay him as he will either bomb out or win.
Had he won his seemingly small size wouldn't even be a topic... my gosh even if he was that small he's still immensely able bodied... look at Willie's Il Etait Temps
@@Im_not-the_father but he didn't, so him not having grown suggests he will struggle as he won't have progressed from 2 to 3. Just like pinatubo who was an even better 2yo than city of troy was.
The horse got unsettled in stalls - garbage
The horse stood up in stalls - garbage
The horses heart rate was too high - utter garbage
The horse was shown too much respect- garbage
The horse is 5/2 for the derby - 5 star garbage
