O’Brien celebrates 92nd birthday with a winner

THE legendary Vincent O’Brien, who celebrated his 92nd birthday yesterday, had his colours carried to victory by Lastkingofscotland in the Breeze-Up Bonus EBF Maiden at Tipperary last night.

The son of Danehill Dancer is trained by his son, Charles, who was enjoying a second success of the season.

“This was so well organised, I planned it six months in advance”, said Charles O’Brien, with obvious tongue in cheek.
