TRAINER PROFILE
Vincent O'Brien was born on 9th April 1917 at Churchtown, County Cork and was to become the greatest racehorse trainer of all time. It is impossible to do him justice in a brief report, but he won the 16 English Classics and 27 Irish Classics from his Ballydoyle Stables. He won the Epsom Derby on 6 occasions, firstly in 1962 with Larkspur (SR 1921), then in 1968 with Sir Ivor (SR 2092), 1970 Nijinsky (SR 2140), 1972 Roberto (SR 2107), 1977 The Minstrel (SR 2094) and finally in 1982 with Golden Fleece (SR 2065). He was equally successful in the Irish Derby, winning in 1953 with Chamier (SR 2009), 1957 Ballymoss (SR 2108), 1970 Nijinsky (SR 2140), 1977 The Minstrel (SR 2094), 1984 El Gran Senor (SR 2110), and finally in 1985 with Law Society (SR 2002). He died on 1st June 2009 aged 92. |
