Aidan O'brien

Kyprios landed a pulsating renewal of the Al Shaqab Goodwood Cup from Stradivarius to back up his Ascot Gold Cup victory for Aidan O'Brien and Ryan Moore. Stradivarius, bidding for a fifth win in the race at the age of eight, went down on his sword having again found a little trouble in running, this time under Andrea Atzeni as Frankie Dettori watched on from the sidelines.

Kyprios and Order Of Australia will spearhead what could be a select Qatar Goodwood Festival team for Aidan O'Brien. The Al Shaqab Goodwood Cup is Kyprios' target after he announced his arrival as the latest star of the staying scene. He announced this following a victory in the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot last month, with Stradivarius and Princess Zoe poised to renew rivalries while reigning champion Trueshan could also lie in wait on Tuesday.

Blackbeard led home stablemate The Antarctic to provide trainer Aidan O'Brien with a one-two in the Prix Robert Papin at Chantilly. Unbeaten in his first three starts before finishing fourth when favourite for the Coventry at Royal Ascot, Blackbeard was last seen being beaten just a short head by Shartash in the Railway Stakes.

Order Of Australia once again made the most of having his sights lowered to register back-to-back victories in the Romanised Minstrel Stakes at the Curragh. Aidan O'Brien's 2020 Breeders' Cup Mile hero was an authoritative winner of the Group Two contest 12 months ago, since when he has been campaigned exclusively at Group One level.

Last season's first two from the Irish Derby meet once more in what promises to be an informative Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud on Sunday, live on Sky Sports Racing. Hurricane Lane and Lone Eagle served up a real treat at the Curragh 12 months ago, with Charlie Appleby's Hurricane Lane managing to reel in Lone Eagle late on.

Stone Age will sidestep Saturday's Coral-Eclipse at Sandown in favour of a trip to America the following weekend. The Aidan O'Brien-trained Galileo colt was hugely impressive in winning a Navan maiden and the Derby Trial at Leopardstown on his first two starts of the season, but could finish only sixth in the Derby at Epsom.

Aidan O'Brien and Ryan Moore combined for another Royal Ascot success as Broome put in a game display to take the Group Two Hardwicke Stakes. Broome, who finished fourth in the 2021 Derby, had shown patchy form but looked right back to his best with an all-the-way success for the Ballydoyle team, with a masterful ride from Moore, who took leading rider at the meeting.

The Gold Cup-winning combination of trainer Aidan O'Brien and jockey Ryan Moore continued their fine Royal Ascot week as Meditate made all to win the Albany Stakes on Friday. O'Brien's unbeaten filly, who arrived as a Group Three winner already after victory at Naas last month, went to the front early under Moore and looked happy throughout.

Kyprios joined the list of greats to have won the Ascot Gold Cup as he held off Mojo Star and three-time champion Stradivarius to claim victory for Aidan O'Brien and Ryan Moore. Having gone a slow pace, there were plenty in with chances turning into the straight as the mare...

Aidan O’Brien and Ryan Moore got off the mark for Royal Ascot 2022 as Little Big Bear justified his cramped odds in the Windsor Castle Stakes. By their own lofty standards it has been a quiet couple of days for the all-powerful Ballydoyle team, but this son of American sprinter No Nay Never – narrowly beaten on his Curragh debut before bolting up at Naas – was all the rage as the 6-5 market leader.

Aidan O'Brien, the master of Ballydoyle, has trained 76 Royal Ascot winners and sends another strong squad in 2022, all live on Sky Sports Racing from Tuesday June 14. Royal Ascot has always been a focus point for Aidan O'Brien, and it is a meeting where he has enjoyed a great amount of success.

There was a smattering of rain ahead of the Cazoo Oaks, which proved a record-breaking one for Aidan O’Brien – an incredible 41st British Classic and a 10th Oaks. Yet those sentimental souls who saw Tuesday and Ryan Moore come from an almost impossible position to fend off Frankie Dettori aboard Emily Upjohn in a pulsating finish, could be forgiven those droplets were tears from above for Josh Moore, Ryan’s brother, who is slowly recovering after a horror fall.

Sky Sports Racing presenter Alex Hammond looks ahead to the Epsom Classics and reflects on the death of Lester Piggott. It is impossible to chat to you this week without paying tribute to the late, great, Lester Piggott, who died at the weekend aged 86. Lester retired for the final...

Willie Carson, Mick Kinane and Frankie Dettori have led tributes to riding great Lester Piggott, who has died aged 86. Carson and Piggott held sway on the track in the 1970s and 80s when both jockeys were in their pomp and five-times champion Carson says Piggott - an 11-time champion and nine-time winner of the Derby - set the standard for everyone else to follow.

It was almost a carbon copy of The Antarctic's Tipperary debut as Aidan O'Brien's talented two-year-old maintained his unbeaten record in the Coolmore Stud Calyx Race at Naas on Sunday. The son of Dark Angel was half a length clear of Wodao when scoring on debut and both the 750,000...

It has been a dramatic few days for trainer Aidan O'Brien, the master of Ballydoyle, with a setback for his ante-post Derby favourite while seeing other Classic contenders step forward into the limelight. On Sunday, O'Brien confirmed Luxembourg would miss his intended run in the Derby after suffering a setback,...

Date: Saturday, 4 June Venue: Epsom Racecourse Time: 16:30 BST. Trainer Aidan O'Brien could aim six horses at next month's Derby as he seeks to make history. Sunday's Leopardstown winner Stone Age is set to head his contenders at Epsom with the Irishman one away from a record 41st British Classic victory.

Aidan O'Brien is already looking forward to seeing what Luxembourg can do later in the year after being forced to rule him out of the Cazoo Derby at Epsom next month. Unbeaten in three starts as a juvenile last season, the son of Camelot spent the winter months as ante-post favourite for the premier Classic.
