Super Solow takes unbeaten run to eight

Freddy Head has been lucky enough to have trained some of the best milers of recent years and Solow is rapidly heading towards the top of the list after taking his unbeaten run to eight in the Qatar Sussex Stakes at Glorious Goodwood yesterday.

The French handler has guided Goldikova, Moonlight Cloud and Charm Spirit to multiple Group One victories but the progress of Solow, since finishing sixth over nearly two miles just over a year ago, has been nothing short of startling.

He came to real prominence with a wide-margin win in Dubai and while subsequent victories in the Prix d’Ispahan and Queen Anne Stakes proved that was no fluke, he was supposed to have his mettle tested against dual Guineas winner Gleneagles on the Downs.
