Nope. Sadler's Wells. Weld and Oxx know more about horses than AOB. Take away the northern Dancer line and he's just an amateur NH rider training handicappers for Listowel. Fact.
@@Nautilus1972 I can half agree with you that he's helped enormously by having the Northern Dancer line running through most of the horses pedigree, and I do think that many trainers would have the same results given O'Brien opportunity, but he's not that bad a trainer either.
Nearctic begat Northern Dancer, who begat Sadler's Wells, who begat Montjeu, Galileo(Derby winner in 2001), & High Chaparral(Derby winner in 2002). Montjeu begat Motivator(Derby winner in 2005), Authorized(Derby winner in 2007), Pour Moi(Derby winner in 2011), & Camelot(Derby winner in 2012). Galileo begat New Approach(Derby winner in 2008), Ruler of the World(Derby winner in 2013), & Australia(Derby winner in 2014), and Pour Moi begat Wings Of Eagles(Derby winner in 2017). Breeding is a huge part of success in the Derby or the Oaks at Epsom, and nobody does it better than Coolmore, IMO.
No Northern Dancer (Kentucky Derby winner), no bloodlines, no Sadlers Wells, no Galileo, no Frankel. The great Vincent O Brien is the daddy of them all, he introduced the aforementioned Northern Dancer. As for the begrudgers below, of course it is easy to get great stock but you still have to be able to train them, Aidan is the supreme trainer, often let down by a jockeys decision, course of action, luck in running etc. If training a horse was that simple well then, we'd all be doing it !. He is given horses bred to win, not all do because it aint that simple. Aiden O Brien is one the greatest trainers of the thoroughbred in the history of the sport.
The guys had over 300 grade or group 1 winners,an absolute expert at priming a horse for the big day.Its not his fault he’s got so many good horses to run in a race ,a gent aswell

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.
Don’t see either of the two favourites taking the title. Hazapour wouldn’t surprise me. They’ll need every yard of the 1m4f, and I don’t think that will suit either of the top two.
jack dolan that’s fair, but at 8/11 and going a 1/2 mile further than before he’s short enough, against improvers. Looking forward to the race anyway 👍🏼
THEY CAN BUY THE BEST BECAUSE OF MONEY, THEN O'BRIEN PUT 5 HORSES IN TOP RACES, IT GIVE THEM HUGE HANDICAP AGAINST OTHERS. THEN THEY REFUSED TO PAY THEIR WORKERS OVERTIMES UNTIL THEY WHERE MADE TO DO IT LAST YEAR. RACING INDUSTRY MUST SET UP LIMIT OF MONEY CAN BE SPEND LIKE THEY DO IN SOCCER TO TO PUT OTHERS IN FAIR POSITION TO COMPETE HUGE MONEY OWNERS.

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.
The OWNERS decide. If I own a horse/horses and they can run in the Derby il run them. O’Brien trains them. “The lads” have invested millions over the years. Flat racing is a business. You can only win at 3 so they all get a chance if able.
Partly true. But I don’t think he does it to make sure he wins I think he does it to give every horse a chance of winning. If you’ve got 6 Galileo bred colts who’ve only raced twice you probably have to let a few take their chance to work out which is the best
(5:24) collapsed heel left front...is that epoxy on a right front quarter crack? Very shameful to see at this level. Makes you look more like a "puppy mill" than a top level breeder.
This person should be sent to jail to be rehabilitated. Its shocking how he can sleep with all the fiddling he does. Just got to feel sorry for the kids involved, sad state of affairs
MR O'BRIEN IS IN A LEAGUE OF HIS OWN, THE MAN IS A TRUE GENIUS, A DEDICATED HARD WORKING GENIUS,
He is a great trainer but it all starts with the sheer potential of the horses he works with

A huge part? 100% a part, yes.
I couldn't agree more, Nearco, Nearctic and the greatest, NORTHERN DANCER.
E P Taylor's son said it all started with the mare "Flaming Page." Modern breeding in a few words.
Always thought Camelot was a very underrated horse. Was never the same horse after his Derby successes. Looking forward to seeing his progeny
Luko Sports not many are. It’s a terrible race. In fact I’d go as far as saying it’s cruelty to animals.

@@Nautilus1972 what an idiotic thing to say
simple, put 6 or 7 horses in the race like Aiden does
noone else has as many horses as good ? thats the simple reason maybe other trainers and breeder should just get good really
Your simple
Really admire O'Brien, very few men could achieve his level of success and still keep their ego in check.
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.
Aidan is a master trainer Ireland should treasure him , for all that he has done for Irish racing and racing in general
the worlds greatest trainer...no doubt
Simple - always back the horse with the biggest head...
Exactly.
I also can’t believe the fattest person on the planet isn’t the worlds greatest goalkeeper 🤷♂️
Don’t see either of the two favourites taking the title. Hazapour wouldn’t surprise me. They’ll need every yard of the 1m4f, and I don’t think that will suit either of the top two.
Might Bite won the gold cup yet?
Paul Gallagher the going is currently soft, and he won a grade 3 comfortably on his seasonal debut on good ground. #Brainless
Luko Sports I can't look beyond Saxon warrior nothing looks as good as him
jack dolan that’s fair, but at 8/11 and going a 1/2 mile further than before he’s short enough, against improvers. Looking forward to the race anyway 👍🏼
You calling people brainless again Luko? You did that to me when I said Might Bite wouldn't win the gold cup :)
It's almost ridiculous how in bred the thoroughbred horse has become through selective breeding. Can't be good for the animals themselves.
Are you joking. Look at Enable - her Dam sire was the sire of her grand-sire [Sadler's Wells +Galileo] .. and she's the best mare I've ever seen.
THEY CAN BUY THE BEST BECAUSE OF MONEY, THEN O'BRIEN PUT 5 HORSES IN TOP RACES, IT GIVE THEM HUGE HANDICAP AGAINST OTHERS. THEN THEY REFUSED TO PAY THEIR WORKERS OVERTIMES UNTIL THEY WHERE MADE TO DO IT LAST YEAR. RACING INDUSTRY MUST SET UP LIMIT OF MONEY CAN BE SPEND LIKE THEY DO IN SOCCER TO TO PUT OTHERS IN FAIR POSITION TO COMPETE HUGE MONEY OWNERS.
DON'T FORGET O'BRIEN ALSO OFTEN MAKES SURE HIS ODDS ON FAV GETS BEATEN BY ANOTHER ONE OF HIS HORSES IN THE SAME RACE 😕

Consistently have the best bloodstock.
The end.
Don't be so salty
If you were a magician of a horse trainer you would be offerred many of the best horses by the owners also!!
The balance
How to win a derby? run 8 or 9 in it, sure ya can't miss then can ya? takes fierce skill to do that , only a genius :P
Takes serious skill to get 8 horses to qualify for the derby without being subsidised ya gobshite ya
The OWNERS decide. If I own a horse/horses and they can run in the Derby il run them. O’Brien trains them. “The lads” have invested millions over the years. Flat racing is a business. You can only win at 3 so they all get a chance if able.
Your what we like to call a.. Langer.
You idiot, try running donkeys in the derby and see what happens. The level of idiocy in the comments section says a lot about society.
Make that 13
Great film. Tells you something about the human race when the likes of Taylor Swift et al have billions of views and this has a mere 32,000.
Well in Jim!
Let's not attack the human race for not sharing our passions, Jim. Great film nonetheless
Well if you've got like 100 Galileos every season to juggle with its gonna be OK. John Gosden is a better trainer in my opinion.
Enable - and all of his top horses - are the northern dancer line. Same line. He gets Magnier's castoffs. Can't own them all.
@@Nautilus1972 , The truth is O'Brien wouldn't sell Galileos to Godolphin and Khalid Abdullah until they made a deal and they got Frankel.
Enable is a daughter of Nathanial who was sired by Galileo aswell. The Northern dancer line is not as good as the Galileo line anyway.
English .?
No,they are Arabian horses.lol. anyway what's your problem?
Everytime O Brien wits a classic it makes me laugh
It is not very hard to win a classic when you train HALF THE HORSES IN THE RACE
Partly true. But I don’t think he does it to make sure he wins I think he does it to give every horse a chance of winning. If you’ve got 6 Galileo bred colts who’ve only raced twice you probably have to let a few take their chance to work out which is the best
And your point is .Adrian is the best and credit to him
The year Galileo won, he was the only entry?
@@irishcowboy42 But the tactics changed after Galileo won, now he's got so many horse he just runs them in hope.
@@nightowl7459 wrong. You are making that comment in the same year that he entered 1 horse in the Derby again...
Your man has to be embarrassed by what happened at Churchill Downs last month
This guy freaks me out ...creepy
I want a job
us irish are the best
Adian o brien draws negative people to comment on this .and he don’t care because he wins and the trolls loose
Slainte

You're in the wrong video, or you're an idiot.
