Aidan O'Brien - Record breaker!

[@GBeret83]

The "Irish horse whisperer", and don't ever doubt it. Love Aidan O'Brien's calmness and temperament, or what he displays in public at least. Always came across as a very humble, kind, and likable person that the common man could approach, even with his being a multi-millionaire.

[@J10Wilshere]

Nothing to dislike about this man absolutely oozes class

[@alanoshea2132]

Great man , I’ve met him on a few occasions he’s always stopped and talked about racing with me , no airs or graces about him !

[@joanewing7385]

A truly unique person. Once in a lifetime we cone across . A gentleman so softly spoken. A master trainer. Really admire and respect AOB.

[@cubnation]

Joan Ewing Yeah, I have great respect for him. I know he runs clean horses, and that is something special.

[@ianbrennan840]

Ireland and more so the racing world are so lucky to have a man like him.. Absolute gentleman

[@cubnation]

@Pa. D No.

[@jamesmcgreal9749]

I could listen to Aiden O'Brian all day long absolutely wonderful Person wonderful man

[@ianbrennan840]

Seeing him at a petrol station in Tipperary.. Every person filling up got a selfie with him u feel like he's apologizing wen he talks to u.. Absolute gentleman

All these great comments about Aidan as a Gent . What I appreciate more than all of that is his rapport and total acceptance from each horse he takes to a race - both pre and post. Second his choice of and respect from all his jockeys - from Lester P through Mick K etc to current Ryan M. All his Group One wins were accomplished by these ace Professionals.

[@kurman4749]

For me personally, there isn't another trainer to compare with Aidan O'Brien. He has won virtually every big race on the planet and is setting new horse racing records every season. His training of racehorses is truly phenomenal, but he is also the friendliest and most approachable trainer you could ever wish to meet. Aidan simply has no equal.

[@cornet959]

The Kentucky Derby, has never been won by a European based horse.

[@thecritic81]

Who cares. ​@@cornet959

[@MB-zm8lc]

What a great interview! Rare to hear aiden speak at length. Such a modest genius!

[@awuma]

And with a wife and four kids just as brilliant!

[@Thanks_for_posting.]

Great family man probably the best or up there with the best trainers of all time

[@jamesmcgreal9749]

I could listen to Aiden O'Brian all day long he is such a Person a brilliant man wonderful

[@GBeret83]

And the thing is, had he still been alive to witness it, no one would've been happier or appreciated Aidan's accomplishment anymore than the late, great Bobby Frankel himself would've, himself always the gentleman. He above anyone else would've appreciated the hard work and dedication that Aidan put into to breaking his record, of that I'm sure.

[@stephenord3403]

Just a lovely man, oh, and a top trainer

[@neermalahdewkurun9285]

Legend

[@kengray7526]

[@manusboyle3408]

Legend of a man

[@louisbarnard3533]

What a man

[@strikeforfreedomstables7981]

I Had the Privilege to meet him. What a great man.

[@castortroy6213]

Haha, ya gotta smile when Aidan says he barely knew he had the record when Frankel broke it.. The guys a class act seems to have a lovable and loyal personality.. Boss..

[@shahzad194smk]

Great man!

[@blueknight6645]

Gentleman master trainer

[@ryanp758]

What legend..I never knew martin o neil liked horse racing

[@gezzaf6912]

Funny how the interviewer tells him almost to stop rambling , Aidan rings his Mum after every race and she begs him when you leaving home son ? but what a lovely man he is TOP GUY

[@thecritic81]

Bobby Frankel broke Aidens original record by using horses he got from owners and other r Trainers. He trained less than a half dozen horses in the record as a two or threw year old.

[@thomasucc]

Also gives his horses a good home in retirement

[@williamallan7915]

and his son beat him in the Melbourne Cup, what a future he must have

[@awuma]

And what a fantastic record he already has! (Eventer, jockey, now trainer)

[@thecritic81]

The person started the O Mara rumours was the interview

[@kieranlee6419]

He would have made a fantastic politician

[@eddymcpre]

I love him lol.... not even matt can break Aidan lol

[@NC-ck5oj]

Even though he's clearly not a normal person, he certainly thinks he is. He'd stop and have a chat with anyone and would take an interest in them. He's exactly the way he comes across here in real life

[@Wines]

#Class #BallydoyleArmy #Coolmore'sBest

[@mosshourigan]

he's like a cliche generating robot

[@postcardterry]

Perfect comment ! He knows he is fuckin good and everyone who is anyone knows it too. A cliché generating robot perfect !

[@slaneysider106]

Obviously he is a great trainer , but then again obviously cool more buy the best yearlings and obviously they will win a lot of races

[@nightowl7459]

That's it, breed and buy the best and you win top races.

[@kevinthecarrot1448]

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

[@bobdiaz1756]

I remember you were attended by Bob Baffer in America, he must have been the one who told you which food to feed your horses to over perform. Then u come back and call it the luck of the Irish. Yea and Snow will fall. 🤣🤣

[@suemaher5282]

Not a chance my friend u have been watching U.S. racing and imagining we would follow u. We invented the sport Ireland and UK. This made me laugh. Aidan Obrien is the best trainer since Vincent Obrien. I doubt he needs advice from a dubious American trainer

[@RBSR5]

AOB TBE

[@thecritic81]

When a horse he gives credit to everyone. When a horse looses the first words out of his mouth are its my fault. I made a mistake. Sorry

[@mosshourigan]

a genius obviously but i would rather pull my toenails out than listen to him speak

[@andrewblackie7170]

Do you want to be training into you're 60's ? Mr Chapman why do you ask alot of really stupid questions ? If Aiden is still going strong when he celebrates his 60th Birthday he'll surely carry on & I couldn't imagine how many more Epsom Derby's & English Guineas & Oaks & St Legers he'd have added & the Irish equivalents & he's surely going to win at least another 3-4 Arc's & Breeders Cup races with the Classic eventually plus all the G1'S along the way but given what he's achieved he should be banned from training so other people can get a chance to win some Classics & the big G1'S. I'm kidding of course, I really wish him all the luck going forward & really do pray he gets that Breeders Cup Classic bagged sooner rather than later.🙏

[@user-wm7mp2fl1p]

Aidan is somewhat like Bruce Lee as he hacks away the unessential in training his horses no wonder he is becoming better day by day to hack away the unessentials is like a sculptor trying to sculpt a horse with a piece of word he hacks until the horse figure comes into view end of story
