Sprained joint puts Albert Einstein on sidelines Albert Einstein, who was likely to have been a leading contender for the Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot, will miss the meeting. Trainer Aidan O’Brien has announced that a sprained joint will keep the talented juvenile on the sidelines. The son of Wootton Bassett won on his debut at Naas by a length and a quarter and then stepped up in grade to win the Marble Hill Stakes at the Curragh at the end of last month in taking fashion. In a statement on Coolmore’s X account, O’Brien said: “Group Three Marble Hill Stakes winner Albert Einstein unfortunately will not run at Royal Ascot due to a sprained joint. He will have an easy three weeks.”
