At last...Aidan O'Brien has apologised to Australia for messing up the training of our champ So You Think. The Irish trainer admitted he'd been doing it all wrong and had only got it 'right' through taking notice of Bart Cummings and many other Aussie fans. The real So You Think was in winning action at Royal Ascot overnight, landing the Prince Of Wales's Stakes (2,000 metres) in stunning fashion - and confirming his global champion status. O'Brien made an astonishing admission in the wake of So You Think's 10th Grp 1 success. He says: 'We have had him for 18 months and it has probably taken us 18 months to learn how to train him...He's one of those special horses, and I'd like to say sorry to all the Australian people that I've made such a mess of it for so long. I copped a hammering from Australian pundits and I took on board comments made by Bart Cummings...I was delighted to hear Bart's comments because he was speaking from the heart and I was probably over-working the horse...We listened to everybody - the things to do and the things not to do...We're just pleased to now have him in the place where everyone in Australia said he was.'
