The Wertheimer Brothers' Solow (GB) (Singspiel {Ire}), a three-time Group 1 winner already this year, is on course for a showdown with star sophomore Gleneagles (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), who can boast those same credentials, in the G1 Sussex S. at Goodwood July 29.
Solow, who opened his campaign in the G1 Dubai Turf and added the G1 Prix d'Ispahan May 24, was last seen taking the G1 Queen Anne S. at Royal Ascot the same day dual Classic winner Gleneagles won the G1 St James's Palace S., and Pierre-Yves Bureau, racing manager to the Wertheimers, said the 5-year-old gelding's connections are looking forward to taking on their younger rival.
“Gleneagles is a very impressive horse, but we cannot complain with Solow and it should be a great battle,” he said. “[Trainer Freddy Head] says the horse is back to normal after Royal Ascot and is working very well. You can do anything with our horse; you can have him at the front, at the back, go wide or be in the middle. He is very versatile and I think that might help at a racecourse like Goodwood.”
