In 2001, the 38 year old Wexford-man sent out an amazing 23 Group/Grade 1 winners, but he lost his record in 2003 to New York trainer Bobby Frankel, who managed an amazing 25 Grade victories that season. Henrythenavigator's game victory in this afternoon's Sussex Stakes at Goodwood saw the son of Kingmambo win his fourth Group One on the spin, making it 16 Group One victories in 14 weeks for the Ballydoyle-based trainer. Kate Miller, spokeswoman for William Hill, said: "This is becoming monotonous now! Aidan's record this season is simply sublime, and his 16 victories in 94 days equates to a Group One win by one of his horses, every six days or so! There are 14 Group Ones left in Britain, and five left in Ireland this year, so it is not insurmountable that Aidan could break the record with minimal travelling." |
