Solow (foaled 24 January 2010) is a British-bred, French-trained Thoroughbred racehorse. After showing moderate form in his first two seasons, he won five of his six races as a four-year-old in 2014 including the Prix Quincey and the Prix Daniel Wildenstein. In 2015, he emerged as one of the best racehorses in the world with a win in the Dubai Turf and followed up with victories in the Prix d'Ispahan, Queen Anne Stakes, Sussex Stakes, and Queen Elizabeth II Stakes.
Solow is a grey gelding bred in the United Kingdom by his owners Wertheimer et Frère. He is from the last crop of foals sired by Singspiel, an international campaigner whose wins included the Canadian International Stakes, Japan Cup, Dubai World Cup, Coronation Cup, and International Stakes. The best of his other progeny include Moon Ballad and Dar Re Mi. Solow was the first foal of his dam, High Maintenance, a stayer who won two races and finished third in the Prix Gladiateur. Her dam Fabulous Hostess was a high-class racemare who won the Prix Fille de l'Air, Prix Corrida and Prix de Royallieu.
Solow was sent into training with Freddy Head at Chantilly. He was ridden in most of his early races by Olivier Peslier.
