I don’t know whether Aidan is a happy man, despite being (probably) the most successful trainer in the history of Horse Racing (at least if you go by the numbers) or if he wishes to be less prominent, even with a lesser degree of success.
He is a genius, no doubt about that, but after all he is just a servant to the Lads, imo. Finding the right races, discussing and applying team tactics, telling the whole world how good every single stallion prospect is results in too much pressure for him. He just sounds like a scratch record with no own personality.
Would Magnier, Tabor, Smith etc ever appear in front of the cameras to tell the exact same stories to the Racing public? I don’t think so….
