Age: 25
Background:
Joseph O’Brien is the eldest son of Ireland’s champion trainer Aidan O’Brien. He enjoyed a successful but short career as a jockey, being Ireland’s joint Champion Apprentice in 2010, the same year he stepped into the big-time, winning the Irish 2,000 Guineas on Roderic O’Connor and the Breeders’ Cup Turf aboard St Nicholas Abbey. He was Ireland’s champion jockey in 2012 and 2013, setting a new record of 126 wins in the latter campaign. He also won the Derby twice as well as the 2,000 Guineas, St Leger and the Dubai Sheema Classic before retiring at age 22 in March, 2016. His first G1 winner as a trainer came later that year with Intricately in the Moyglare Stud Stakes. At age 24, in November, 2017, O’Brien became the youngest trainer to win the G1 Melbourne Cup thanks to Rekindling. He notched his first century of wins in 2018 - including a first Classic win with Latrobe in the G1 Irish Derby - to sit second behind his father in the Irish trainers’ championship. Honours: Youngest trainer to win the Melbourne Cup. Hong Kong wins: No previous runner.
