Overview
- Aidan O'Brien named Albert Einstein his leading Betfred 2,000 Guineas hope and indicated he will head straight to the Rowley Mile without a prep run.
- Bookmakers shortened the colt from around 10-1 on Monday to as short as 6-1 by Tuesday, with prices reported by Betfred and favouritism shared with leading rivals.
- O'Brien said they will not test the trip beforehand, acknowledging uncertainty over whether the twice-raced colt will stay the mile.
- Albert Einstein is part of a Ballydoyle trio with Gstaad and Puerto Rico, with two expected to go to Newmarket and one to France before the Curragh.
- The unbeaten juvenile, by the late Wootton Bassett, won at Naas and the Curragh including the Marble Hill (RPR 105) before a setback ruled out the rest of his season, and bloodstock analysis highlights limited immediate pedigree evidence for the mile.
