Aidan O'Brien: 'Albert Einstein was always something very different' Despite missing Royal Ascot, top juvenile prospect Albert Einstein remains highly regarded by Aidan O’Brien as he eyes a potential return later this year. Albert Einstein Still Sidelined But Autumn Campaign Remains a Possibility Albert Einstein, who missed Royal Ascot with a sprained joint, is still on the sidelines. His trainer Aidan O’Brien remains hopeful his exciting juvenile will make it back in time to run in some of the major end-of-season races in the autumn, although a return to action still appears some way off. He holds entries in September, including in the Vincent O’Brien National Stakes. Hype Grows Around O’Brien’s Star Juvenile Despite Injury Albert Einstein’s reputation has only risen in his absence, with O’Brien winning the Queen Mary, Coventry Stakes, and the Norfolk — yet still hailing the Wootton Bassett colt as perhaps the best of his crop. Following Gstaad’s impressive Coventry win, O’Brien said: “Albert Einstein was always something very different and a very quick horse, incredibly quick from the day we worked him. Gstaad is a big horse who travels well and with lots of speed. We always thought this was a top-tier horse alongside Albert, but your man was just so fast it was different.”
