Why doesn't Aidan O'Brien take his sunglasses off?

You've won The Derby and at the presentation and can't even be bothered to take your sunglasses off. I live not too far from Epsom and it's not even that sunny.

agree slippy very bad manners

Now, look, listen, now look again and listen.

Thank you conkian, it's not just me then. Very ignorant behaviour if you ask me.

Also every time  one of his wins a group 1 race when they pan to him within  10 seconds of the horse winning he is never not on his phone.

The mega rich don`t have manners.

I've got manners themightymac. Though to say I'm mega rich would be gilding the lily a little bit

He has prescription glasses and cant see the steps without them. Took em off for interview with Lydia twice now as he is standing still and does not need to see

he has got no eyes ,



just glowing red orbs

more to the point, what about the appalling 'team' tactics of his runners? Not in the spirit of the sport imho. The stop/start gallop was clearly intended to try & upset the favourite.

Well that certainly worked.
Obviously if it wasn't for those "team tactics" Dawn Approach would have hacked up.

DA got himself beat after about 1 furlong. But why else do they d*ck aroundf with the pace like that if it's not under instruction after O'Brien has walked the track, with all his jockeys pre-race? It's clear team tactics. Coolmore are a clandestine mob that treat the Derby like something to be harvested collectively. O'Brien's dark glasses suit the Coolmore way of things.
