Aidan O'Brien is one of the greatest modern day trainers and he now holds the record for most British Classics of all time. Tuesday gave him his 41st British Classic after clinching an exciting renewal in the Cazoo Oaks this Friday at Epsom Downs.
O'Brien surpassed John Scott's record of 41 wins, registered between 1827 and 1863.
“It's an honor for me to be in this position,” O'Brien told racingpost.com. “Everybody puts in so much work, literally day and night, so it's unbelievable for the whole team to be able to enjoy a win like this.”
Clear favorite, Emily Uphjohn, appeared to slip out the starting stalls and was consequently left at the back of the field. Despite an extraordinary recovery throughout the race, the favorite was held off by the Ballydoyle filly on the line.
