Easy as 1-2-3: Mile the latest in a series of Aidan O'Brien masterclasses

Order Of Australia may have been the least fancied of Aidan O'Brien's three runners in Saturday's Breeders' Cup Mile, but those with a deep appreciation of the master trainer's exploits would probably not have put such a high price on his saddling a trifecta that paid $4,393 to a 50¢ stake.

O'Brien owns the record for the number of wins in many of the major races at home, although few come close to his domination of the Irish Derby.

Of the 14 winners he has sent out in the race stretching back to Desert King in 1997, no fewer than seven have been at the head of a Ballydoyle 1-2-3.
