Tributes from the likes of Jim Bolger, John Oxx, Mick Kinane, as well as Derrick Smith and Michael Tabor as Aidan O'Brien is awarded the Cartier/Daily Telegraph Order of Merit for 2016
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.
I'm not sure about " Genius", he has plenty of firepower with Mangier, Smith, Tabor and others funding their breeding operations- but yes i do agree that he is a Master trainer of top class horses - his whole family have been for decades.
