O'Brien makes bookies blanch

news - www.racingpost.co.uk: "AIDAN O'BRIEN'S domination of the season's top events has not been welcomed by Irish bookmakers, who have suffered from Ballydoyle's staggering run of success.

Leading firm Paddy Power, in particular, have been badly hit. In a bid to attract business, they have repeatedly upped the odds about Ballydoyle's high-profile horses, a move that was revealed to have been costly when a forecast decrease in profits was announced.

“When you mention Aidan's name, our poor lads start shuddering,” said the firm's head of communications Paddy Power."

So the message is, folow O'Brien in group and listed races!
