How many times has Aidan O'Brien won the Epsom derby?

Unsurprisingly, Aidan O'Brien has trained the most winners of the Epsom Derby with 12 victories to his name.

He claimed a fourth consecutive victory in 2026 when Christmas Day delivered a record-extending 12th Derby win for the trainer.

Galileo (2001) gave the Irishman his first success before High Chaparral (2002) made it back-to-back race victories for O'Brien.

After being made to wait an entire decade before striking again, O'Brien has won 10 of the last 14 renewals.

Camelot (2012), Ruler Of The World (2013), Australia (2014), Wings Of Eagles (2017), Anthony Van Dyck (2019), Serpentine (2020), Auguste Rodin (2023), City Of Troy (2024), Lambourn (2025) and Christmas Day (2026) make up the outstanding roll of honour.
