Story summary

Aidan O'Brien's stable faced a computer error that withdrew Gstaad and Albert Einstein from the 2,000 Guineas.
Staff intended to scratch them from a different race, but pressed the wrong button.
Initially there was uncertainty about re-entry, as it would cost £30,000 per horse.
The British Horseracing Authority later confirmed supplementary entries would be accepted, and bookmakers reintroduced both horses at 6-1 and 20-1 for May 2.
