Cavalor Trainer of the Quarter - Joseph O’Brien

Joseph O’Brien has enjoyed remarkable contrasting successes so far this year, his hurdler Home By The Sea winning the Gr.1 Stayers Hurdle at Cheltenham back in March, the filly Thundering On landing the Gp.1 Oaks at Epsom, followed by five winners at Royal Ascot to see O’Brien challenging his father Aidan for the meeting’s coveted Leading Trainer award. At time of going to press the Irish Derby has yet to be run, but there is a strong chance James J Braddock has capped a month to remember for the Carriganóg team.
