A tactical masterclass from the Ballydoyle team, racing's answer to Pep Guardiola's inverted full-backs

Auguste Rodin got out of the right side of the bed to become the first colt trained by Aidan O'Brien to win the Derby and the Irish Champion Stakes in the same year. Some achievement that; a double not even the mighty Galileo could do. 

On a sun-kissed Saturday in south Dublin, another damning piece of evidence was presented to prove O'Brien is no mere mortal – he won half the races on the most competitive eight-race card of the season in Ireland. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, we are in the presence of a freak and the only thing we can do is marvel at his greatness. 

O'Brien has been doing it for so long that you begin to run out of words to describe him.
