Aidan O’Brien is poised to extend his unparalleled dominance in the Betfred Derby this Saturday, as he seeks a record-extending 12th victory in the premier Classic at Epsom. The legendary trainer has reiterated his long-held conviction that the race represents the "ultimate test" for any thoroughbred, a challenge he approaches with a formidable quartet of contenders, including the highly-fancied Benvenuto Cellini.
O’Brien’s remarkable grip on the blue riband event is evident, with nine of his previous 11 wins coming in the last 14 years, a testament to his enduring success since Galileo secured his first Derby victory 25 years ago.
