O’Brien in clear over Brian Boru

THE Turf Club has decided to take no action over comments made by Aidan O’Brien, following Brian Boru’s run in the Derrinstown Stud Derby Trial at Leopardstown earlier this month.

The Ballydoyle colt was beaten a head and two and a half lengths when third behind Alamshar and stable companion, The Great Gatsby, in the 10-furlong race on May 11.

Afterwards, a storm erupted when the Racing Post referred comments attributed to O’Brien at a press-day at Ballydoyle to the Turf Club. As a result the Turf Club looked at the race again.
