Solow readied for next season

FREDDY HEAD is resigned to the fact Solow will not return to the track this season.

The six-year-old has won his last 10 races, five of which have been at the highest level.

However, he has not been seen since winning at Chantilly in March having picked up an injury following that run.

“I saw him three days ago, he seemed well, the vets are very pleased so we’ll cross our fingers,” Head reported.

“We won’t have him this year I think, we’ll try for next year, we won’t race him this year.

“We’ll try for Dubai. He’s a great horse and has kept his enthusiasm.

“He hasn’t run for five months but he looks like he’s been trained all the time, he doesn’t put on weight and keeps the muscle.”
