Excuses, excuses
For whatever it's worth, here's a couple of paragraphs from Helen Pitts from the DRF:
"Trainer Helen Pitts said there were a couple of reasons she believes Einstein didn't run his best in the Woodford Reserve, a race in which he was seventh, though beaten only three lengths by winner Sky Conqueror.
"It was pretty soft turf, that was a big factor,'' Pitts said. "He had some pharyngitis, had some throat problems. Everything's cleared up and he's the kind of horse that likes to run frequently. He enjoys the game.''
