Most deserving off any accolades that comes his way...a great and humble man.

The man is just class

I'm constantly reading comments made by people who I assume are just anti-Coolmore fans that say Aidan O'Brien has only had the kind of success he's had because he's had so many great horses sent to him to train over the years. My response to that is even the most impeccably bred horses have to be trained properly to become champions. They don't just show up at Ballydoyle ready to tackle the top Grade/Group level races in the world because of their bloodlines. Like him or not, Aidan O'Brien is a genius with thoroughbred's, period, and his humbleness & humility that goes along with his ability is why he garners all the respect shown him by peers like Jim Bolger, John Oxx, & John Gosden in this video.

Mr.Michael Tabor ‘

[@thecolonel4869]

The lads :) Isn't John Magnier on a stick now?

[@mickmcknight162]

It's amazing really, "he leaves nothing to chance", Oxx said. Success in this sport obviously isn't about gambling as it's falsely portrayed. But, if nobody gambled horse racing wouldn't exist. Stinging parody that.

[@JonJonJonJonJonJonJonJon]

Yeah im sure the Derby and Arc would cease to be if betting didnt exist. Genius right here ^^
