O 'Brien team tactics

well executed as always different class as usual

Agree, well executed,tbf nothing dirty per se and given the spread of talent with his horses who else training wouldn't do it or worse if in his shoes.
It is the way things are.

Yep, agree with Mukdahan. Exceptional planning. Godolphin could of course have put a couple into the race but chose not to.

Ryan Moores reaction of seeing Donnacha was a beaut!,he got well out of the way, could imagine him saying oh it's you,you can go.

It did look that way..

problem is rest of the jockies simply watch them do it race after race they seem mesmerised by his horses

it is very funny in it's own way,i'll get slaughtered by the purists but the more i think of it the more i'm laughing.

More funny hearing the so called experts oppose the greatest racing outfit ever. Keep doing it lads.

There will be some craic on the plane going back and Aido bustin his bollix as well.

team tactics ..where exactly did this take place?

Wild Illusion had literally every chance there and was in the perfect position..gap opened like the red sea for it to go through in the straight..it got past Moore easily and couldn't go with the winner

Imagine how bad that race would have been had ballydoyle not run so many- an utterly diabolical representation from the British trainers apart from the creditable and talented second

Thought Hoiles was just adding some drama to the race.

Wild Illusion had her chance and showed stall 1 in a small field is no bad thing.

There clearly was team tactic in operation, and it won't be the last either. The question is why are the others eg Godolphin so slow to react or cotton on? They did nothing in the 2000G with Barney Roy, to name one; they've yet to learn despite the regularity shown by AOB on this.

Godawful a million miles behind and the gap will keep widening. Great ride by Donnacha. Wish he was riding the jolly tomorrow.

Thanks for your insightful comments carrot.

All their losing horses will eventually get their group race to add to their Stud/Paddock value.

" Thought Hoiles was just adding some drama to the race."
D.T.would have done it better.

"There clearly was team tactic in operation, and it won't be the last either."

To be honest I don't think even they know who's the best horse sometimes. These are the races ( classics ) where theirs so much pressure involved. Make a sense for the team to organise a plan pre race.

I don't agree with it either but they ain't breaking any rules.
