Ahead of the big race at the weekend at Ascot, you might be slightly shocked how many times Aidan O’Brien has won the Champion Stakes in Britain – as he looks to land the huge Group One prize with his classy 3 year-old Delacroix.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Aidan O’Brien Has Surprisingly Only Won The Champion Stakes Once\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Top Irish trainer Aidan O’Brien has been a regular winner of the top Group One races in Britain – especially those run over a mile or further.<\/p>\n

He’s won the Epsom Derby a record eleven times and the 2000 Guineas on ten occasions – to name just a few.<\/p>\n

Therefore, when looking at how many times Aidan O’Brien has won the Champion Stakes, it might shock you to hear it’s ONLY ONCE.<\/p>\n

Yes, the Ballydoyle maestro has only entered the Ascot winners’ enclosure once in this end-of-season highlight on British Champions Day<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Magical has been his only winner to date in 2019 – having had 16 runners in the since 2015 in the 1m2f race (see below).<\/p>\n

His Galileo filly beat Addeybb as the hot favourite that year – but the William Haggas horse gained revenge a year later, with Magical only third.<\/p>\n

You can see all the Aidan O’Brien Champion Stakes runners over the last ten years below eleven of his 16 horses finishing unplaced.<\/p>\n
