Aidan O'Brien: thoughts on Paddington, City Of Troy, Henry Longfellow and more | Racing TV 

The best the best who ever lived at what he does

Very true sue.being nice costs nothing ..from the experience over the years seems him and ryan are getting even better.wealth of knowledge..bought in to some nice ones too the likes of justify .one horse of theres i liked was the priory havnt seen him this year..

He's having a great season Tom it was so interesting to hear Mr. Magnier can be up at midnight studying pedigrees. I will look out for Priory. Hope Paddington wins next week.

Think when u in the game that long even at his age u cant let go lol. He dosnt say much but hes one of the shrewdest around..all the years back long ago shuttling horses to australia ,buying into bloodlines , all pays off.

AIDEN, your jockey is inconsistent, I can put you in touch with a jockey that known as the “GOAT” Frankie, bronze statue at ascot Frankie, anointed by the queen Frankie, qipco hall of fame Frankie, 6arcs Frankie, stinking filthy rich

He was real knowledge

@@mrgirthy2111 good English.

The best interview I've seen with Aidan. Ollie did really well. I've watched many trainers but he's the best I've ever seen. Dean Gallagher working there made me smile. Champion Hurdle winning jockey I backed Hors La Loi e.w and always liked his riding

@@robertdelacy3434 I really want him to do it. It would be great for racing

I agree Lovely durable horse

Thank you, Canadian maple fan!! At least, you agree with me, about Paddington!! Queen Elizabeth would be so proud 🦚🦚🥲🥲!!

Starting this season nearly all the hype surrounded Auguste Rodin and perhaps rightfully so given he'd gone 4-3-1-0 as a 2YO in 2022 after he finished his juvenile campaign with a G2 win at Leopardstown and a G1 victory at Doncaster. But speaking for myself, I thought Auguste Rodin's two runs in the English 2000 Guineas and King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes were both very disappointing efforts by him. I think few would argue winning both the Epsom Derby & Irish Derby takes a pretty special horse. But he bookended his two Derby wins with such dismal performances at Newmarket & Ascot that I think completing the Derby double lost a lot more of the shine and luster for him than for some of the other colts who'd won both Derby's for O'Brien in past years. Auguste Rodin lacks the one main ingredient to become the kind of star that Paddington looks quickly on his way to becoming, and that ingredient is consistency. To date, Paddington has done everything asked of him like a real professional and looks as if he's improving with every race. Which is why I say if Paddington were to win the Juddmonte International at York and then the Irish Champion Stakes at Leopardstown (which I believe he'll contest in September if he comes out of the race at York in good order). If he were to win both of those races that would make him a 6-time G1 winner as a 3YO at a mile three times and at 10F three times. That would then likely put the Coolmore Syndicate in the precarious position of having to decide whether to step him up to 12F for the Arc or not? The Arc runs this year on October 1st. If they bypass the Arc then it would be another 20 days until British Champions Day at Ascot where the Champion Stakes over 10F or the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes at a mile would both probably be under consideration for him. The fly in the ointment for my theory could be should he win the Juddmonte International Stakes, this year it's not only a "win and your in" for the Breeders Cup Classic on dirt, but it's being used as a "win and your in" race for the G1 Cox Plate in Australia which runs on October 28th at Moonee Valley. A race that's been mentioned as a strong possiblity for him lately on several occasions. Of course, everything beyond York is pure speculation on my part, but I think the sky is definitely the limit for Paddington too.

I agree green beret83!! Let's hope for the best!!

Ryan moore just wants to ride horses. He is not interested in interviews with the likes of chappers goading him and trying to antagonise him.

I think he is on about Magnier, Tabor, Smith and probably Ryan Moore

The owners, you know the ones that pay the bills! I’m sick of zero knowledge comments like yours on here!!

​@@Martin.Lewis..The chap asked a simple question there's no need to be a dick.

The Team,we only get a glimpse of the man,he seems very nice and personable,gentle somehow and achieved and continues to achieve so much
