@Lewis_Cop@John1986ire If you pay to supplement them you can do what you want in the race within the rules, they didn’t today and were rightly banned but can’t prove that Aidan told them to carry out them tactics. They just made a mess of it as neither of them want to be banned.
Aidan O'Brien on if the Derby is still a big deal in 2026
🗣️ "Oh, God, it is. There's no race like the Derby! It's the ultimate test. Anybody who has had anything to do with a thoroughbred – an owner, a breeder, a trainer, a jockey – will tell you how difficult it is. It's such a big, competitive race.
"You can't take anything for granted with it, no matter what horse you have, because there are so many variables. There are so many tests that they have to pass all the way. There's the atmosphere, the track, the ground. It's so different to everything else.
"No track in the world can do what Epsom does to a horse. Nowhere else can test a horse in that way. It's so different in every way. You could never invent a track like that again.
"It's up the hill at the start and there's a serious rise, you rise into the clouds, then you level off and you start coming down it and you're sweeping the whole time. And then you have to stay on top of everything else. There are cambers everywhere, all over the place. It's so unique it's incredible."
