After his disappointing performance in the 2000 Guineas, Aidan O'Brien told Racing TV that he's still looking forward to running last season's champion two-year-old in the Betfred Derby at Epsom on June 1. He also gave us updates on Opera Singer and Ylang Ylang

The lack of respect on here for O’Brien is sad, so he made a mistake in not giving the horse a prep race he’s made mistakes before and he will make them again

I'd say it's mainly punters who had him at ante posts odds or who are naive enough to believe the hype Coolmore obviously instruct Aidan to say to big up their horses and backed CoT on Saturday because of it. I prefer to see horses in the paddock that are having their first couple of runs as a 3 year old before putting my money down to make sure they have grown enough, if I don't like what I see I look elsewhere or don't have a bet if there are too many variables/questions marks over the field.

​@@frankelforever14I wouldn't necessarily say they are disgruntled punters, I think that one or two on these channels have created a little hostility towards Coolmore, constantly calling other trainers, jockeys and horses, when a O'Brien horse gets beaten there's always some excuse but when one wins he's suddenly a genius who knows no bounds.

@@nightowl7459 I think the two need to be separated. The main protagonist is a deluded troll who has at least 10 accounts set up and has taken recently to having conversations with himself, clearly needs medical help. A lot of those posts are against this clown rather than against O'Brien/Mullins who the vast majority of real racing fans admire as they are legends of the game. With Mullins it's a jealousy thing because of the success he is having, with O'Brien it's the yearly he is the best looking, the best mover etc. etc. comments that irk punters. Proper racing fans take these comments with a pinch of salt while others less educated hang off every word.

The immediate conclusion after City Of Troy's flop run was that he has not trained on. A lot of us (myself included) thought the same thing about Auguste Rodin this time last year. The difference is that Auguste Rodin ran on very testing ground, which he clearly hates, City Of Troy flopped on a near perfect surface. You can't blame O'Brien for using a somewhat frivolous excuse about City Of Troy's heart, what else can he say?. Trainers don't talk their horses down. The late Ryan Price use to hype up so many of his horses after a moderate novice hurdle or chase win.The Epsom Derby is just over 3 weeks away, City Of Troy will not be carrying my money.

I suppose there is the likes of Chaldean you would not think he was a son of Frankel or even Arrest they aren't spectacular looking. I suppose it's the similar who can live up to their big Dad.

Yes I don't understand why Coolmore keep doing it, seems like arrogance to me that their horse won't be beaten. If they are going to use the guineas as a derby trial run another horse in it (e.g. Henry Longfellow) who has a decent chance of winning. When Rock of Gibraltar faced Hawk Wing one of them losing didn't have a negative affect on their career as both went on to show they were high class horses at 3 as well as 2.

Before that yes it was normal to win first time out but when you describe your horse that is odds on to win the race as fresh and needed the run maybe a trial would have been the better choice. I remember Henry Cecil said the main reason he ran Frankel in the Greenham was so he wouldn't be too fresh for the guineas so not sure why Coolmore didn't either run him in a trial or let Henry Longfellow take his chance to improve their chances of success

He blew out he was foaming at the mouth getting home, mouth wide open.. wasn't using his nose to exhale like you want them to.. these are heavyweight championship fights and if you horse is not in prime condition it will be knocked out by the conditioned horses.. he looked dehydrated somewhat and not fit enough, if your giving horses a 6 month break between races you need to be schooling them enough coming up to the race to peak condition them. Also i find if you training a horse upwards 7f, mile, 9f, you want to be schooling them over 10f to make them work. You know what the saying is don't you? Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard.

Nothing to be sorry or ashamed about you dont have to prove anything more.... come back to the steeple chasing Aidan, get yourself a stateman a ballyburn... im sure you'll find open arms again, like your son has and he has put his best foot forward in the game. Anyway they come and they go these days horses where bred different back then. The steeple chaser remains.

City Of Troy can't possibly win a derby after that run. Led and folded up like a deck chair in a blink of an eye half way. I've noticed that some O'Brien horses can be world beaters one day and absolute stinkers the next. When an Obrien horse puts in a bad run it's unbelievably bad. Always be wary of hype around potential stallion prospects.....unless they're Japanese like Equinox!!!!

I think it's obvious aidan is not wanting to rush this horse for what could be a very long season with the breeders cup classic as a possible target in November. Newmarket once again, track looked terrible like there had been bunch of plowhorse running over ot all week. Are they watering the track after each race. The condition of the track looks like its full of holes.
