‘Unbelievable!’ Aidan O'Brien breaks world record with another big win

"It's been a funny year really. A lot of horses have progressed and progressed. There were so many horses like that, it was unusual."

Aidan O'Brien secured a record 26th Group One victory of the year as Saxon Warrior claimed the Racing Post Trophy at Doncaster.

The Deep Impact colt made a huge impression on his racecourse debut at the Curragh and having followed up in last month's Beresford Stakes at Naas, he was the 13-8 favourite to provide his trainer with an eighth triumph in this juvenile event.
