Relentless Aidan O’Brien on Derby march again

Boasting a CV featuring six Investec Derby victories would be good enough for many - that is unless you are on the brink of claiming a record-equalling seventh and go by the name of Aidan O’Brien.

With his hunger and desire to succeed in the Epsom Classic as strong now as it was when winning for the first time with Galileo in 2001, the chances of O’Brien becoming the fourth trainer in history to record a magnificent seven are strong.

Remarkably, it was through a 40-1 outsider in Wings Of Eagles that the master of Ballydoyle struck 12 months ago, but this year he has 2000 Guineas hero and ante-post favourite Saxon Warrior heading his powerful squad.
