He may look like a sprinter and act like a sprinter, but there is obviously something about the way Albert Einstein (Wootton Bassett) operates at Ballydoyle that makes it hard for those who know him to leave a 2,000 Guineas attempt alone. Luckily for us purists, that reticence to rule out the mile sees him steered to Newbury to add much spice to Saturday's G3 Watership Down Stud Too Darn Hot Greenham Stakes.Defeat here will almost certainly extinguish all hope of going to Newmarket in a fortnight, but unfortunately for Aidan O'Brien's peace of mind a win still may not provide the conclusive answer you would expect. If there is a seven-furlong race that sprinters can master this is it, with the likes of Muhaarar, Tasleet, James Garfield and Perfect Power successful in recent times before dropping back to land a major speed test.Guineas prospects aside, it will just be plain exciting to witness what this revered colt can do under ideal conditions unlike those he endured in the Gladness last month with his whole campaign ahead of him. “We think he's a very fast horse. This will be on nice ground over seven furlongs and we're going to learn a lot more,” the Ballydoyle handler said.“The Curragh ground was very bad and he did run respectably,” he added. “We need him to jump forward now and see then does he go on to the English Guineas or does he go back sprinting? That's the reason he's running really.”This is not all about one horse, however, with Eve Johnson Houghton reintroducing her “dude” Zavateri (Without Parole) who surely has no stamina issues beyond this trip. Undone by fast ground on the undulations at Newmarket in the Dewhurst, the winner of the Dr Vincent O'Brien National Stakes will be at home back on a more even surface.Circumstance has led to a change of his trainer's initial idea and she is keen to extend him in strong company. “We half-planned to have a racecourse gallop instead of running in a trial, but the trouble is he's doing all his work so easily we need to put an edge on him,” she explained. “We've got good lead horses, but he's just finding it all too easy.”“He sets the standard and he's in great form,” she added. “He is going to need the race to come on, but I'm as happy as I can be with him. Where he goes next depends how he runs on Saturday and how he comes out of it afterwards, but it's good fun and what you dream of.”Also in the mix is the Simon and Ed Crisford-trained Title Role (Too Darn Hot), another for Coolmore who looked a smart prospect when winning the Jumeirah 2000 Guineas. There is also intrigue provided by Saeed Suhail's Needle Match (Night Of Thunder) and Marcstown's Gonna Fly (Starspangledbanner), but this is not a race that favours inexperienced colts and with one run each under their belts they may struggle to make an impact.Touleen Heads Fred Darling Cast…Unlike the Greenham, there are no headline acts in the G3 Dubai Duty Free Fred Darling Stakes which has undoubtedly lost much of its preeminence as a 1,000 Guineas trial in recent years. You have to go as far back as 1999 for the last to complete the Fred Darling-Guineas double in Wince and with the likes of Precise lying in wait in two weeks' time that barren spell is likely be extended.That is not to say that something is not lurking in the seven-furlong prep, with Shadwell's TDN Rising Star Touleen (Lope De Vega) setting the standard after her defeat of Zanthos in a Leicester novice. They went in different directions when they met again in the Rockfel, but Owen Burrows will have the descendant of Height Of Fashion in the right mindset for this.Saffie Osborne has been handed the responsibility of steering the homebred and is relishing the opportunity. “It's a real honour to pick up this ride for Sheikha Hissa and the Shadwell team and I'm very excited to ride her,” she said. “I've ridden her plenty over the last six weeks or so and sat on her last on Wednesday. She always feels great, she's a beautiful filly who does things with a lot of ease. You can feel her class, she has the most beautiful action and a big engine and her work has been very good.”Bringing Group-winning form to the mix is Roisin Henry's Firth Of Clyde scorer Catching The Moon (No Nay Never), while there are five last-out winners congregated including the Aykroyds' well-regarded K Sarra (New Bay) a full-sister to their middle-distance supremo and fellow Ralph Beckett trainee Pride Of Arras who scratched out of this card's John Porter.Another in the latter category is Simon Munir and Isaac Souede's long-absent course-and-distance winner Stimulative Trip (Hello Youmzain), who has trainer David Menuisier hopeful but in the dark at the same time. “She won well at Newbury before she ended the year with one or two little niggles, nothing serious, but enough to be unable to run again last season,” he said. “I'm sure she will improve physically for this weekend's run. She's in the French 1000 Guineas, she needs to run a race to see whether she is a candidate or not.”Juvenile Champ Versus The World In Satsuki ShoJapanese juvenile champ Cavallerizzo (Saturnalia) aims to pick up where he left off from his victory in the G1 Asahi Hai Futurity in Sunday's G1 Satsuki Sho (Japanese 2000 Guineas). A debut winner in August, he dropped to second behind Asahi Hai Futurity third Admire Quads (Real Steel) in the G2 Daily Hai Nisai Stakes in November prior to his Group 1 score. Australian Damian Lane jets in for the ride and the duo leave from the rail in the 18-horse field.Trainer Tatsuya Yoshioka said, “It's important for him to run with a good rhythm, which he has been doing, and his mental state is good too. He's more muscular now, and if he runs smoothly, he can do well over 2000 metres.”G1 Hopeful Stakes hero Lovcen (World Premiere) had Forte Angelo (Fierement) and Ask Edinburgh (Leontes) back in second and third in December. He lost his unbeaten tag when third cutting back to 1800 metres in the G3 Kyodo News Hai to the re-opposing Realize Sirius in February. That colt holds a Guineas connection, as he is by 2021 G1 2000 Guineas hero Poetic Flare. However, Lovcen is the slight favourite in ante-post markets and will break from stall four.Trainer Haruki Sugiyama said, “He's moved well in training, and has been running over a distance. The jockey [Kohei Matsuyama] thinks the horse was a bit too switched on for his last race, but now he's more relaxed, and there's a bit more leeway with him. He's a horse with potential. He has a good race record at Nakayama, so the switch to there is a plus, as well as taking in the four corners of the race. The key will be to get him to run smoothly.”Improving at the right time is G3 Keisei Hai victor Green Energy (Suave Richard). A winner over this course and distance, he defeated Matenro Gale (Epiphaneia) in that affair, and the latter would go on to score in the Listed Wakaba Stakes going this trip in March.“He's been running with a good rhythm in training, and finishing off his work well,” said trainer Yuki Uehara. “His workload's been sufficient, and he looks to be in good shape. The jockey [Keita Tosaki] also thinks the horse feels good. The opposition this time suddenly becomes stronger, but he's shown that he can run well in different situations, whether it's a maiden or a race like the Keisei Hai, when he won both well, so I think he can respond well enough here too.”Another pair coming good at the right time are G2 Hochi Hai Yayoi Sho one-two Basse Terre (Kitasan Black) and Reichsadler (Siskin), while Altramuz (Isla Bonita) claimed the G3 Mainichi Hai at Hanshin on March 28.The post ‘We Need Him To Jump Forward Now’: O’Brien Seeks The Answer For Albert Einstein appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
