Aidan O'Brien G1 watch
13 so far this year, he is on course to beat his own record (which i think is 23) and Frankel's world record (something like 25):
Duke Of Marmalade: Prix Ganay, Tattersalls Gold Cup, Prince of Wales Henrythenavigator: 2000 Guineas, Irish 2000 Guineas, St James Palace Halfway to Heaven: Irish 1000 Guineas Soldier of Fortune: Coronation Cup Haradasun: Queen Anne Yeats: Gold Cup Frozen Fire: Irish Derby Mount Nelson: Coral Eclipse Moonstone: Irish Oaks |
Right, lets go through the remaining Gr1's he is likely to win. Do overseas Gr1 races count?
Henry will be very hard to beat in the Sussex if the ground is fast. Duke Of Marmalade, Irish and English Champion? |
yeah overseas G1s, it'll be interesting to see if they try and go for those weakish German and Italian G1s with the 2nd strings, the likes of Mount Nelson, Macarthur etc..Plus will he target Hong Kong with more vigour this year..
I think in his fantastic year, he had all those class 2year olds, Johannesburg, Hawk Wing, Rock of Gibraltar (even Sholokov won 2 G1s!!!) I dont think he has he same strength in depth this time round, BUT he has an unbelievable older squad.. |

Henry would also be very difficult to beat in the BC mile. When you think of how many Gr1's there are around the world and how much strength and depth he has at the moment, you'd say he was a certainty to break the record. |
14 - Duke of Marmalade - King George!
|
make it 15... just won the Phoenix at the Curragh with Murtagh.

He could easy get 30 G1s this year.. |
He's a master trainer.
It makes Godolphin look silly. I love it |
He's got the 16 up
|
17 - Halfway to Heaven.. another one..
|
18 - Duke of Marmalade
|
19 - Septimus
|
That was impressive! Think Honolulu is the better Melbourne Cup chance for the stable though, far better-off in terms of weight.

I think the aussies have a stellar cup cast this year. Maybe Better had quite a nice finish yesterday |
20 - Mastercraftsman

22 Yeats (a little late) Prix Royal-Oak
23 Fame and Glory Criterium de Saint-Cloud It'll be interesting to see if he actually sends a few to Hong Kong, but I believe Dylan Thomas was his first runner and he only ran there due to the episode in Japan a few weeks before.. |
