Blood thicker than water.....

twice now.

If only placing racehorses was so simple ...

- as is your, over-expectant, conspiracy theory.

Donnacha comes across as a decent jockey...uncomplicated as a rider & gets the job done

not my theory, just commenting on a comment!!

he's doing to Moore what he did to Murtagh

Fair enough - layemail - Comment must have been on the other channel.

Aidan interviewed before the race was asked - 'How much influence did you have in Ryan riding Magic'?

He replied - "Ryan knows the horses," etc etc

When asked - 'Which of yours is the best'? - Aidan replied ... "I have no idea."

Donnacha rode Saxon Warrior in the 2000 Guiness - because, of course,  Ryan Moore was in America  to ride Ballydoyle's Mendleson in the Kantucky Derby

top kid - whats your main asset as a jockey - lydia to donnacha
i'm aidan o'briens son.....

Pillow talk...

If the owner's are satisfied with the jockey bookings who are we to complain?

Cheshire Oaks:
1st. Magic Wand, Ryan Moore
2nd. Forever Together, Donnacha O'Brien

So why does it need a conspiracy theory to explain why the jockeys were the same in the Oaks today?

Forever was beaten by the track at Chester imo Ram and tbh this is the M.O. these days in races like the oaks and the Derby to throw an awful lot of darts at the race and hope one lands

Interestingly when interviewed earlier in the week Tabor seemed to be insinuating that Kew Gardens wud come on a ton from his latest run and cud be a major danger to the fav -who i personally think will win impressively- then they have the Pentagon and Delana Roosevelt all of who'm are capable of getting involved.

As with Big Mac and his nonsense "they knew" line, these things only ever get highlighted when it suits.

Moore has been on the winner plenty of times when either son has ridden in the same race and as far as I'm aware, Joseph and Donnacha are not related to Magnier, Smith or Tabor.
