Alparslan Upsets Favorites in Greenham Stakes at Newbury

In a notable upset, Alparslan took the top spot in the Greenham Stakes, denting the reputations of favorites Zavateri and Albert Einstein. With a length to spare, Alparslan crossed the finish line first, followed by Zavateri and then Albert Einstein. Trainer Karl Burke expressed his satisfaction with the win, stating that Alparslan had improved significantly from his previous three starts. The victory has raised questions about Alparslan's potential to compete in the 2000 Guineas, with Burke citing the mile distance as a potential concern. Meanwhile, Zavateri's trainer Eve Johnson Houghton is considering which Guineas to target next, while Albert Einstein's team is weighing options after a respectable third-place finish.
