An excellent ambassador for the sport. A scholar and a gentleman. He has an amazing team back home at Ballydoyle who support him.

[@paulrichards6894]

seems a lovely bloke

[@Williovr]

So is Adian

[@stephenord3403]

I love this articulate gentleman. Much respect

[@kurman4749]

A lovely man and so friendly and approachable. Apparently his staff at Ballydoyle think the world of him.

[@fieldsofomagh]

Very forthright in the state of play of Coolmore. Proper gentleman.

[@racingblogger8339]

Well spoken from the Ballydoyle legend as always

[@LarryFogarty]

superb trainer and a person....a gentleman for sure

[@suemaher5282]

Great to see Aidan relaxed with Ollie and talking about these great horses. Master trainer gentleman and understands the Thoroughbred. Susan Magnier needs praising for giving these horses such brilliant names.

[@matthewcunningham8691]

The names, good point Sue 👍

[@neermalahdewkurun9285]

Legend

[@paulkelly5788]

Proper gent

[@cameronsmith1686]

Hearing of Duke Of Marmalade after such a long time, what a horse that was.

[@tinx1463]

Cracking interview

[@lukekelly4482]

Great interview but very disappointed you didn't ask about Australia. He was one of the best horses Aidan has trained and he won an international. Also Sea the Stars was the goat....

[@Dwayndibb]

Funny all by the Granddaddy Northern Dancer

[@toomuchrespect]

I didn't see the point in asking Aidan hypothetical questions.... he's far too diplomatic

[@grudeman]

Fantastic gentleman and a legend of racing! Frankel would of beat STS over 1 mile and 1.2 not 1.4. Frankel was the ultimate freak of freaks end of story. I loved st marks basilica last year beautiful horse he will be a great sire! Kyprios and little big bear are 2 young superstars with big futures 👍

[@nigelcodrington2534]

I Suppose he is a good One...We allways taught the world of him.Obviously he's been great over the years.Lol.That how he speaks.
