‘Everyone needs to change' – Aidan O'Brien drops his guard in passionate TV interview after Lambourn wins Irish Derby

THE usually unflappable Aidan O'Brien dropped his guard in a passionate TV interview after Lambourn won the Irish Derby. The Ballydoyle boss was responding to criticism of the Curragh card on one of their biggest weekends of the season. 1 Aidan O'Brien offered a rare glimpse into his soul as he dropped his guard in a passionate interview regarding the current state of racing Credit: Getty Some punters claimed a series of lower-grade handicaps ruined what should have been three days of top class action. And, in their opinion, that led to a load of people snubbing the track - in a mirror of punters deserting Epsom for our Derby. Racing TV presenter Kevin O'Ryan said he hadn't seen as big a crowd for an Irish Derby 'in a long time'. But official figures showed the attendance had actually dropped from last year - when 11,400 racegoers were there compared to 11,200 this year. O'Brien, the biggest Flat trainer in the sport, wasn't having any of the criticism. And he said people had to vote with their feet and get to the track to feel the atmosphere, because that is what will keep them coming back. Getting uncharacteristically animated, a lit-up O'Brien said: "I think most of the criticism is unfair. "If everyone just gets it into their head to tell people to come racing - not to be critical and not how bad it is - tell people how good it is! Most read in Horse Racing "It's the greatest nonsense, it's negativity at its strongest. "Tell people how good it is and everyone will come and have a good time "That's the problem - everyone in racing needs to change. "Tell people how great it is and come and feel it. "The more people who come the better the atmosphere, the more things will happen and be put on. "We're all in this world at this time, enjoy it and get together and have a great time. "Try not to be negative, be positive! "If you're positive all the positive things will happen. If you're negative all the negative things will come. "Everybody, try to be more positive. "Believe me it will be so much better for everybody because all anyone wants to do is get people in and help everyone and do the best they can for everyone." ITV Racing presenter Oli Bell was among those praising O'Brien, saying he was 'bang on the money'. Not everyone was convinced, however. At a time when racecourse are coming under increased scrutiny for ticket and food prices as well as the quality on show on the track, one said: "What he's basically say is sweep the bad things under the carpet? No thanks." O'Brien was speaking after Lambourn made it a Derby double following his win at Epsom earlier this month. The Ryan Moore-ridden 8-13 fav looked under the cosh four furlongs out as his jockey got down to serious work in the saddle. But he simply kept finding and repelled all challengers, including shock 28-1 runner-up Serious Contender. He was beaten a length by King George V Stakes handicap winner Merchant at Royal Ascot.

One in 10 Brits would rather doomscroll than have sex with their partner, new study finds

ONE in 10 Brits admit choosing doomscrolling over sex with their partner, according to research. A poll of 2,000 adults explored the impact of consuming 'endless' negative stories on the web – finding the UK collectively spends 67.4 million hours a day doomscrolling. Advertisement 1 The average person loses two days a month to scrolling Credit: Getty That's 96 minutes every day in total – the equivalent of two days during the course of an average month. And this not only affects productivity (46 per cent) and creativity (28 per cent) but for 10 per cent has even resulted in turning down sex. Their fascination with such content has also led to 28 per cent feeling tired or drained, and 22 per cent anxious or overwhelmed. The research was commissioned by Advertisement More on social media The game, which self-destructs after one play, holds up a mirror to the UK's obsession with doomscrolling by highlighting the most toxic internet behaviours. Spokesperson for the smartphone brand, Celina Shi said: 'It's easy to fall into mindless scrolling - at home, at work, even around loved ones. 'We're encouraging people to take back control of their screen time and use their phones with more purpose." The research also revealed 44 per cent of those polled regularly lose track of time when scrolling, and 22 per cent have no idea how much they scroll at all. Advertisement Most read in Fabulous Exclusive But for the 52 per cent who wish they had more hours in the day, cutting back on scrolling could help them make time for the things they say matter most. This ranges from seeing family (40 per cent) and spending time in nature (36 per cent), to being creative (25 per cent) or learning a new language (19 per cent). Why is Facebook making sounds when scrolling? Four in 10 (41 per cent) scrollers admit to doing so on the toilet, and 49 per cent do it while spending time with friends and family. Some have also indulged in the online negative swirls while at a wedding (12 per cent), at a school event (13 per cent), and even funerals (six per cent) Advertisement With the top 'toxic topics' include negative world events (32 per cent) and reality TV or celebrity drama (32 per cent). Celina Shi, from OnePlus – which developed the game featuring digital demons like the 'Blockchain Bro' and 'Tin Foil Hat' to be blasted away with its Nord 5 smartphone, released on Tuesday 8 July – added: 'Why lose hours to the scroll, when you could be creating something that inspires you instead?
