On April 27, 2026, Aidan O’Brien’s Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf winner Gstaad was confirmed as one of four Ballydoyle contenders for the 2000 Guineas, following its re-entry into the Classic after an administrative error had mistakenly removed it and stablemate Albert Einstein. Gstaad was supplemented back into the race for £30,000 at Monday's confirmation stage, with dual Group One winner Puerto Rico Causeway and Flushing Meadows also among O'Brien's entries. Betfred also announced the return of its £2 million Triple Crown bonus for the event. Previously, on April 25, an MP warned that jobs in Warrington, where Betfred is headquartered, could be lost due to government over-regulation of the gambling industry. Earlier, on April 23, Betfred appointed Kizzie Fenner as its group compliance director; Fenner joined the Warrington-based operator after five years with William Hill, 888, and Mr Green parent company.
