Overview
- Albert Einstein was declared for the Listed 7f Gladness Stakes at the Curragh after connections weighed a prep race instead of going straight to the 2,000 Guineas.
- The race pits the colt against older horses, with nine declared rivals including Ballydoyle stablemate Neolithic.
- Aidan O’Brien’s high praise last week helped shorten the colt to about 7-2 for the Newmarket Classic, sharpening focus on his readiness.
- The Daily Mirror reported that Ryan Moore shelved a Dubai World Cup ride to partner the Ballydoyle runner at the Curragh.
- The Wootton Bassett colt missed most of last season with a setback, so this outing offers a live check on fitness, starting stalls practice, and race-day sharpness before Newmarket on May 2.
