O'Brien hoping for Derby revenge

Last Updated: Wed 7 Jun 2023
Aidan O'Brien is hoping he can exact revenge on Epsom winner Sea The Stars in the Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby.Many judges have questioned the Epsom form due to the lack of pace and O'Brien, who has 10 entries for Sunday's race including Epsom runner-up Fame And Glory, believes the answers will be provided at the Curragh."The horses came out of Epsom very well and we've been happy with them all since. Obviously they all ran great races and we were delighted with them," O'Brien told At The Races."Everybody knows it wasn't a fast pace and it wasn't a slow pace, it was probably a medium pace. We've been very happy with the horses since and, if anything, they have been improving from run to run."The Curragh is a very fair track, an even mile and a half and it looks like it's going to be beautiful ground so we are looking forward to it."That will suit everybody and if the pace is even, it gives everybody a chance."Everyone has been saying if the pace was faster at Epsom, that might have suited us and if it was faster it might not suit John's horse."Hopefully this weekend it will be an even, level pace and we will all learn a lot more."
