Are we witnessing the end of the 'OBrien era?

Hopefully,Coolmore….

Not really! Aiden still well clear of Andrew Balding in the GB trainer table despite Andrew winning the Dante,King George and York Stakes today and 120 races in total so far. And Aiden is well ahead in Ireland as well.

Currently 2nd in the trainers table in France behind the strongest stable in Europe, but look at the stats

FG 382 runners
AOB 15 runners

If he wins the Arc, it's possible for him to be champion trainer in 3 countries. What an end of an era

Didn't Moore get off BC after the Eclipse and say he's not sure if he's ridden a better one, at least he was in doubt I suppose

Ive always wondered if he is the super trainer of his generation or whether any half decent trainer could do what he does with the numerical and blue blood advantage he has at his disposal, season after season after season.

Coolmore loss of wotten bassetf os big hit for them as this sire was keeping show on road aftwr gallileo, i feel in 4 to 5 yrs coolmore will be well down few rungs and o broen too as trainer , jim bolger was far superior trainer than o brien , he camw from nothing to produce great sires like teofolio , new approach etc not beimg fed on tap raw material like o brien, coolmore know they are in trouble as they are getting horses by frankel and dubawi but fact 9f mattter other trainers have thee sires too

Also with o brien now the use of team tactics has taken to another level , for me its sign of panic and worry as there big  gun sires are gone

No, but at least the world has to listen to far fewer of those f^cking shlt post race interviews, at the moment.
