Derby delight for phenomenal O’Brien

AIDAN O’BRIEN, the most amazing phenomenon to hit Irish racing, won his seventh Irish Derby at the Curragh yesterday when Fame And Glory blitzed the opposition to score by five lengths.

His predecessor at Ballydoyle, the late and legendary Vincent O’Brien, won six in a glittering career.

But the current Ballydoyle resident will not celebrate his 40th birthday until October 16 and the mind boggles as to what his final total may be.
