Europe's most successful handler, Aidan O'Brien, has called on authorities to apply 'common sense' after a computer error mistakenly removed two horses from the 2,000 Guineas.

O'Brien confirmed that Albert Einstein and Gstaad were taken out of the race due to a technical glitch. He stated, 'There was a blip on the computer. Something happened, the computer went bananas and took out a couple of horses that weren’t meant to be taken out.'
