BHB tłumaczy dominację stajni O'Briena siłą Galileo, a nie słabością angielskich stajni.
The first six finishers in the country’s most prestigious Flat race were all trained in Ireland and the race has been won by British-trained horses only twice in the past nine years, but the British Horseracing Authority said that could be attributed to the freakish potency of the Irish-based stallion, Galileo. “We are seeing a period at present where the Derby is being dominated by one specific sire in the form of Galileo,” said a BHA spokesman. “However, more generally British racing remains amongst the best in the world and our trainers and the quality of their horses are not in any doubt. British trained and bred horses continue to enjoy significant success at home and abroad.”

O'Brien: Derby w Epsom jak Święty Graal
“We do not put any of our Derby horses together [on the gallops] at home. We just try to have them at their best for when they get to the racecourse. The boss [John Magnier of Coolmore Stud] always says that the Derby is the Holy Grail and it is the backbone of the thoroughbred. This is the ultimate test, it tests them in every way. It tests their speed, their stamina, their agility and their mentality as well. That’s why we come here and try to compete every year but it’s very tough. I’m privileged to be a small part of a great team.”
