The Wertheimer brothers' five-time Group 1-winning gelding Solow (GB) (Singspiel {Ire}), who was injured while training in March, is unlikely to race this year, but trainer Freddy Head told At The Races he is looking towards a 2017 campaign for the grey.
“I saw him three days ago, he seemed well, the vets are very pleased so we'll cross our fingers,” Head told At The Races. “We won't have him this year I think; we'll try for next 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,” Head added.
The 6-year-old Solow currently rides a 10-race win streak, having not lost since August of 2014. He won all six outings last year, five of which were Group 1s, and made a winning return to the races in March in a Chantilly conditions race only to miss a trip to Dubai due to his injury.
