Vincent O’Brien
Greatest ever horse trainer without any doubt. Over 40 Classics (English and Irish) including 6 Epsom Derby wins. Also 4 Cheltenham Gold Cups, 3 Champion Hurdles and 3 Grand National wins amongst his national hunt achievements.Henry Cecil
Genius of a trainer across 5 decades. 30 Classics (24 in England). Over 70 Royal Ascot winners. Has overcome personal and health problems to still deliver classic winners including the removal of Sheikh Mohammed’s horses from his training.Aidan O’Brien
He is the man behind the success of the Coolmore operation, quiet, unassuming but without doubt a genius of a man at training and developing horses into winning machines. Has dominated Irish flat racing and beyond since the late 90s with over 20 Irish Classics and 14 English Classics to his name. Also delved into the national hunt with the exploits of the magnificent Istabraq (3 Champion Hurdles) Decades left in the game and will undoubtedly come close to his namesakes records.Michael Stoute
A great career shaped over 5 decades which have seen him claim 26 Classics either side of the Irish sea aswell as a Champion Hurdle win with Kribensis. A long awaited Arc win was recently added with Workforce and his abilty to churn out group one wins with older horses is his forte.(Andre Fabre would be a close 5th)
Was just about to state that regards the weights, Oscar Time was beaten fair and square, once again easy to blame the jockey

3.Mille ChiefActually thought the same myself about Kings Grey today, will be a decent prospect upped in trip over fences. Jumped very big at all the hurdles, just lacked the pace
