Joseph O'Brien hails his father's ‘unbelievable’ achievement

Joseph O’Brien, speaking after his own success at Tipperary with Cradle Mountain, hailed his father Aidan’s achievement in training the first three home in the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe as “unbelievable”.

“You couldn’t imagine something happening like that will happen – and the three of them all by Galileo,” said O’Brien junior, who explained that this race had long been the plan for Found, who didn’t enjoy the best of runs in the race in 2015.

On this occasion, under a fine ride by Ryan Moore, she hit the front halfway up the straight, and stayed on strongly to repel stable-companions Highland Reel, ridden by Seamie Heffernan, and Order Of St George, ridden by Frankie Dettori.
