Aidan P. O'Brien (born October 16, 1969 in County Wexford, Ireland) ^[1], is an Irish horse racing trainer. He is the private trainer for John Magnier and his associates at Coolmore Stud and heads up the training operation at Ballydoyle Stables in County Tipperary.

He initially enjoyed a successful riding career, becoming Ireland's amateur champion jockey for the 1993-94 season, which was cut short at the age of 23 when he opted to apply for a trainer's licence.

National Hunt

It was in National Hunt racing that he first made his mark as a trainer, sending out two winners on his first day and breaking prize money records as he won the jumps title in his first season. He broke the record number of wins for a year in only his second campaign and then decided to concentrate on the Flat. That opportunity came about when he was asked to take over the famous Ballydoyle stables in County Tipperary, which had previously been the home of his namesake, racing legend Vincent O'Brien (no relation). Vincent O'Brien, voted by the Racing Post as the greatest trainer of all time, left Aidan with one of the most advanced training establishments in the world and huge financial backing which enabled him to compete with the wealthy Arabs at the sales for the best horses on the planet. In that year, O'Brien, the younger, produced a combined total of 176 winners in Flat and National Hunt - a new Irish record until he broke it himself the following year. National Hunt racing is the name given to the sport of horse racing in the United Kingdom and Ireland where the horses are required to jump over obstacles called hurdles or fences (except in the case of a bumper).

Success

• The major successes started to come in the 1997 season when he trained:
  • the winners of the Irish 1000 Guineas
  • Irish 2000 Guineas
  • Irish Derby.
• 1998 season, he picked up his first English classic when King of Kings won the 2,000 Guineas.

He continued to train jumpers - notably Istabraq, whom he saddled to three Champion Hurdle crowns. Year 1997 (MCMXCVII) was a common year starting on Wednesday (link will display full 1997 Gregorian calendar). ...

The Champion Hurdle is a United Kingdom National Hunt horse race for four-year-old and above horses run over a distance of 2 miles 110 yards at Cheltenham Racecourse, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire on the first day of the Cheltenham Festival in March. ...

• In 2001 season, his domination stretched across the Irish Sea and he became the first overseas-based trainer since O'Brien Sr to become British Champion Trainer. That year he enjoyed unprecedented success, winning 23 Group 1 races. They included an Oaks-Derby double with Imagine and Galileo, the latter going on to add victory in the Irish Derby to his CV. O'Brien also made in-roads in the US, where Johannesburg won the Breeders' Cup Juvenile event.

• After Istabraq retired in 2002, O'Brien gave up the jumping game but his grip on the Flat was strengthening yet further.In 2002, O'Brien retained both his English and Irish champion trainer's crowns despite the fact that his yard was hit by a coughing bug during the summer. That he was top dog in England with just 10 wins - earning £2.8m in prize money - proves the quality of his string. His successes included Derby winner and runner-up High Chaparral (also dual Breeders' Cup Turf winner) and Hawk Wing, who came home 12 lengths ahead of the field. Another of his inmates, Rock of Gibraltar, set a new record of seven consecutive Group 1 successes.

• 2004 proved to be a disappointing year for O'Brien. It started off with the removal of Michael Kinane as his stable jockey. He was replaced by the young Jamie Spencer who had developed a good reputation riding in the UK. However the year would prove disappointing on the track. Spencer was replaced after a string of self admitted mistakes on Powerscourt in the Arlington Million and on the same horse again in the Breeders' Cup Turf.

• 2005 season. After much media hype and speculation long time English champion jockey Kieren Fallon replaced Spencer as Ballydoyle's stable jockey. It was not long before the good times were to return. On the first classic weekend of the 2005 flat season the newly formed partnership of Aidan O'Brien and Kieren Fallon took home both the 2,000 Guineas (Footstepsinthesand) and the 1,000 Guineas (Virginia Waters). More success would come in the year through Oratorio (Eclipse Stakes, Irish Champion Stakes), Scorpion (Grand Prix de Paris, St Leger), and with the exciting juveniles George Washington, Rumplestiltskin and Horatio Nelson.

• 2006 Season. The start of the 2006 flat season was to see George Washington confirming his promise as a juvenile by easily winning the 2,000 Guineas on Newmarket's Rowley Mile to give O'Brien his 4th win in the race. While George Washington disappointed in the Irish equivalent, he redeemed himself in the Queen Elizabeth II stakes at Ascot. Dylan Thomas would also make his mark in the top middle distance races in Europe. After going close in the Epsom derby, he was found to be more effective under a patient Kieren Fallon ride in the Irish Derby. Dyaln Thomas also showed his battling qualities in the Irish Champion stakes, where he battled against the Champion mare Ouija Board to take the Irish Champion Stakes by a neck. Other 2006 highlights where to come through Alexanderova who dominated the middle distance fillies classics taking in the Epsom Oaks, Irish Oaks and Yorkshire Oaks for a unique treble. The End of season saw the juvenile Holy Roman Emperor take the Prix Jean-Luc Lagardère on Arc day at Longchamp. In one of the races of the season he would be beaten by a head in the Dewhurst Stakes by European Champion 2 year old Teofilo. Much of the excitement for next years flat season would be based around the rematch of these two colts in the 2,000 Guineas at Newmarket. Aidan would finish the season winning over €6.5m in Ireland and Great Britain. The season was marked however by the emerging race fixing scandal involving stable jockey Kieren Fallon. On July 3, 2006, Fallon was charged along with 7 other people for conspiring to defraud the internet betting exchange Betfair. Fallon was one of 28 people answering bail at Bishopsgate police station in the City of London in connection with the inquiry. In a released police statement, he was described as being charged with "offences relating to allegations of fixing the outcome of horse races between December 1, 2002, and September 2, 2004, and money laundering". He was amongst three jockeys charged, along with Darren Williams and Fergal Lynch, all of whom had their licences suspended. Fallon's Problems were further compounded when on the 29th November 2006 French racing authority France Galop suspended jockey Kieren Fallon for six months after testing positive for a prohibited substance. The 41-year-old six-times champion jockey tested positive for a metabolite of a banned substance.

• 2007 season. The end of the 2006 season had left Ballydoyle with multiple options in the following years classics. However the opening part of the season was left in turmoil after the premature retirement of Holy Roman Emperor. The previous years champion miler George Washington could only cover six mares and was ultimately deemed infertile for commercial causes and as a replacement Holy Roman Emperor was sent to Coolmore Stud. Plans had to be drastically changed with O'Brien quoted as saying "all our eggs were in one basket" in relation to the opening classic of the season the 2000 Guineas. As a result the season began relatively quiet amongst the classic crop. Howvever signs of changing fortunes would emerge on the day of the Poule d'Essai des Poulains when Astronomer Royal came with a late run to give Ballydoyle a 1-3-4 finish. Group 1 success was seen in the older horses through last years Irish Derby winner Dylan Thomas when he Won the Prix Ganay. The mid summer was highlighted by Scorpion winning the Coronation stakes in an O'Brien 1-2 wth stable mate septimus. The stable also dominated the St. James's Palace Stakes and the Irish Derby with Excellent Art and Soldier of Fortune respectively leading home 1-2-3 for O'Brien horses. He would finish Royal Ascot as top trainer with four winners including Yeats who retained his Ascot Gold Cup and Henrythenavigator whom set the juvenile standard for the early part of the season by winning the Coventry Stakes. The Stable was also to see the return of champion jockey Kieren Fallon to retainer duties in both Ireland and France however his ban in the UK was still being enforced pending the result of his trial in relation to fraud in racing. Peeping Fawn managed to learn from her place run in the Epsom Oaks by taking the Audi Pretty Polly Stakes at the Curragh and eventually overturing form albeit on softer ground with Light Shift in the Irish Oaks.

Coolmore Stud

O'Brien is backed by the Coolmore operation, which undoubtedly gives him a huge advantage. The Coolmore operation are renowned for the high Price yearling purchases at the Keenland September yearling sales and more often than not the best of these will come under Aidan's guide at Ballydoyle. Despite this advantage it is recognised that his skill at getting his horses to peak at the right time and his attention to detail coupled with his earlier national hunt exploits- mean that he currently has no equals in the training game. Aidan O'Brien is married to Anne Marie Crowley, former Champion National Hunt Trainer and daughter of Joe Crowley of Piltown, County Kilkenny, well-known trainer of Chasers and Hurdlers and she is sister of Frances Crowley, Flat Trainer at the Curragh.
