Aidan O’Brien set himself up for a clean sweep of the Irish Classics yesterday by winning his 14th Group One race of the season at the Irish Oaks.

The win was O’Brien’s seventh consecutive win in the Irish Classics and his third consecutive win in the Irish Oaks. This achievement puts him within reach of the world record for most Group One races won in a season, currently standing at 26.

After dominating at the Oaks, O’Brien will now target the last round of Classics for the season, with the St. Leger and Irish St. Leger still to be contested.

O’Brien’s first task will be to secure a win in the English St. Leger. In contrast to his achievements in Ireland, the champion trainer has fielded only one winner in the English Classics this season, winning the 2,000 Guineas with Henrythenavigator.

O’Brien’s best bet for the English St. Leger is Frozen Fire, who is also listed for the Irish equivalent. However, O’Brien has several other talented thoroughbreds in the mix, with Honolulu, Mahler and Yeats all  poised to compete in either of the St. Leger Stakes races.
