Moore Heads To Curragh For Four Rides On Saturday

2000 Guineas favourite Albert Einstein has been declared for the Listed Gladness Stakes at the Curragh on Saturday afternoon.

Aiden O’Brien spoke highly of this three-year-old at a recent media day, saying he is the yard’s number one hope for the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket in May.

The words from O’Brien saw Albert Einstein’s price cut from 10/1 to 7/2 favourite. This son of Wootton Bassett was described as one of the quickest horses Ballydoyle has ever seen.

More often than not, O’Brien horses go straight to Newmarket with no prep run, but this year is different.

With Albert Einstein not racing since May last year, a run ahead of the first British Classic of the season doesn’t seem a bad idea.

A win on Saturday for Albert Einstein probably won’t tell us too much. However, if he does succeed then his price for the 2000 Guineas may shorten even more.

The sky is the limit for Albert Einstein, he arrives into his Classic season unexposed and it’s quite unpredictable to see what he may achieve going forward.

Ed Walker declared Ten Bob Tony as well, with the English trainer searching for a first win in Ireland.

Last year’s winner Big Gossey also lines up.
