Another week means another potential milestone for master trainer Aidan O’Brien as he seeks a record-extending 16th win in the Irish Derby at the Curragh on Sunday, 30 June. He holds six of the 10 remaining entries at penultimate declarations with the Emerald Isle’s premier Classic cutting up badly from 58 runners at the previous stage.<\/strong><\/p>\n All but one of the Ballydoyle maestro’s 15 Irish Derby winners have come since 2001. Despite farming the race for almost a quarter of a century, the leading betting sites<\/a> don’t have an O’Brien runner as favourite this time.<\/p>\n That honour instead goes to James Fanshawe inmate Ambiente Friendly. Supplemented at a cost of \u20ac100,000 following his second to City Of Troy in the English equivalent at Epsom, he now travels to race overseas for the first time.<\/p>\n The most likely O’Brien horse to win the Irish Derby, according to bookmakers, is Los Angeles. He has just over three lengths to find with Ambiente Friendly on the Epsom run.<\/p>\n This is a home fixture for Los Angeles, however, and he now gets Ballydoyle stable jockey Ryan Moore in the saddle for the first time. Despite a long association with the yard and its powerful backers, he has only one victory in the Irish Derby. That came aboard Auguste Rodin 12 months ago.<\/p>\nIrish Derby Set for Small Field<\/h2>\n
