The calm and collected Irish trainer Aidan O'Brien has proven the power of the Ballydoyle stables and Coolmore stud by winning the Epsom Derby a record ten times.
The presence of the multiple winning British and Irish Champion flat trainer in the parade ring is an ominous sight for opponents with O'Brien collecting the majority of the world's top Group One races in his stellar career.
On top of his record-breaking ten Epsom Derby wins, O'Brien has won the Irish Derby 16 times, the Newmarket 2000 Guineas 10 times, The Breeder's Cup Turf on seven occasions and also collected a pair of Prix de l'Arc De Triomphe victories.
