It
figures that a horse named Einstein would be brilliant.
Indeed, the Brazilian-bred son of Spend a Buck proved among
the best of his era, winning Grade 1 and 2 stakes on turf,
dirt and artificial surfaces, over distances of 1 1/8 miles to
more than a mile and a half, from ages three through seven.
Trained by Helen Pitts throughout his race career, Einstein
won the 2006 Gulfstream Park Turf S (G1) ridden by Rafael
Bejarano and owned by Midnight Cry Stables, and the 2007
Mervin H. Muniz, Jr. Memorial H at the Fairgrounds with Robby
Albarado aboard. In 2008 he won another Gulfstream Park Turf S
(G1) under Jose Lezcano, the Woodford Reserve Turf Classic
(G2) with Robby Albarado, and the Clark H (G2) with Julien
Leparoux. His 2009 victories include the premiere West Coast
classic, the Santa Anita Handicap (G1) and Woodford Reserve
(G1), both with Leparoux riding. He also competed in the 2009
Breeders’ Cup Classic for Stronach Stables. The word
“great” comes to mind. So do “powerful,”
“versatile” and “tactical.” Einstein’s
career earnings are $2,945,238 with 30 starts, 11 wins (half
of them G1), 4 seconds, and 4 thirds. Einstein did stud duty
at Adena Springs, then Daehling Ranch in California. Many
thanks to Frank Stronach for enabling this exceptional horse’s
retirement to Old Friends.
