Joseph O'Brien today reflected on his father Aidan O'Brien's clean-sweep in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, hailing the achievement as "unbelievable".
O'Brien senior's Found led home stablemates Highland Reel and Order Of St George for a 1-2-3 in Europe's most famous race and speaking Tipperary races today, Joseph O'Brien stated "it was unbelievable and you couldn't imagine it could happen."
Speaking following the win of his own Cradle Mountain at Tipperary, he added "it's a funny track (Chantilly) and the three of them were drawn all over the place and for it to happen for the three of them was just unbelievable.
"She has been second in nine Group 1s and when things fall right for her she is unbelievable - Ryan gave her a great ride. She was a bit unlucky last year but it was an Arc and every year there seems to be some unlucky ones."
That's the reason Found was kept in training and that's the race she was kept for all along."
