    It could be common knowledge on here but I wonder who Aidan is on the phone to as soon as he wins a big race, the missus, the overlord?

    Nick Luck spoke to O’Brien this morning. As usual when he “appears” on the show, all we saw was his photograph and his voice down a not very clear phone line.

    Do the Ballydoyle millions not extend to Zoom or Teams etc?

    I am fairly confident he’s phoning Nathan after those big-race wins.

    “Listen, Nathan, did you see I trained another winner there just now?”

    Nathan: “Is that all you phoned me for AGAIN, Aidan? I was in the middle of watching my old Eurovision dvds! Yes, I get it, if someone sends you a seven-figure blue blood yearling, you know which end the food goes in, how to get it from its box onto the gallops and back again and you’ll win races with it. How many times have YOU won Eurovision, though? Can you even sing, Aidan? Btw, how’s Democracy?”

    “Listen Ginger, I’ve read the forum and can honestly tell YOU that Davies is correct, so he is”
    “It is best training performance of all time, okay Augustine Rodin is the best horse I’ve ever trained but he could barely walk last week” “He had dandruff, bags under his eyes, fleas and ticks.” “He wasn’t eating, wasn’t drinking and only had a couple of hours sleep” “The boat over was rocking more than the Sex Pistols and he stubbed his toe on the way into the horse box”

    No, that photo should be captioned, “Anne-Marie? Listen, I think I left the immersion on. Can you check? Yes, I’m sorry…yes…I know it costs a clean fortune these days…sorry , Ok? Ok…yeah…listen, I’ll cut the lawn when I get back….I know, but the forecast gives it good all week, listen it’ll be fine…yeah I know Jim Bolger has one of those robot yokes…we’ll talk about it when I get back ok?….What?

    “Listen, Mike, I’d like to congratulate you for being the only person in the entire world who was on at that price. From the first day, you’ve always shown so much speed; the lads want to know how you do it.”

    Aidan O’Brien should do his version of the Stevie Wonder hit ‘I Just Called to Say I Love You’

    I’m fairly confident he really shouldn’t.

    The funniest time was at the breeders Cup when the interviewer had to wait till aidan did his usual call. Lovely he still speaks to his mum after every big win. Family is still vital to him obviously as it should be.

    I Just Called to Say I Tank You by Aidan O’Brien – Lyrics.

    No Frankie Day to celebrate
    No King Of Steel with many lengths to give away
    No Appleby win, No Michael Stoute grin
    In fact, here’s just another O’Brien Derby Day

    No heavy rain, No fireworks boom
    No Gosden Saturday within the month of June
    But what it is, is something true
    Made up of tese tree words that I must say to you

    I just called to say I tank You
    I just called to say how much I care
    I just called to say I tank You
    And I mean it from the bottom of my phone

    No odds too high, No turf too dry
    No second-rate Jockey to ride one fine Auguste Rodin
    No Plunkett cheese, No Oli Bell sleaze
    Not even time for Just Stop Oil to flee Police

    No Chapman puns, No mad Oisin
    No giving tanks to all the ITV Racing team
    But what it is, though old, so new
    To fill your heart like no tree words could ever do

    I just called to say I tank you
    I just called to say how much I care, I do
    I just called to say I tank you
    And I mean it from the bottom of my phone

    I just called to say I tank you
    I just called to say how much I care, I do
    I just called to say I tank you
    And I mean it from the bottom of my phone

    Of my phone
    Of my phone (baby, of my phone)

    Unlikely to be his missus as she was stood next to him without a phone in her hand. Think it could be his mum. Is John Magnier ill? He’s not been seen in recent times.

    I know penty of people knock Aidan but I think he’s a thorough gentleman, who’s brought up his kids superbly.

    Absolutely brilliant guys, even if you do have too much time on your hands.
    Rob was the cherry on the cake :rose:
