Personality
Solo isn’t like his name. He is excitable young colt and tends to sweat really fast during training, workouts and before the races. He is a really cheeky character and will often squash you while being tacked up. He'll even bite you if he think he can get away with it. On the track though, his competitive attitude shows. When he feels other horses are closing in on him, he would sneak in a nip along they shoulders, showing them who is boss. Off the track he has to been turned out in the pasture with bandages on his legs (to prevent them getting injured) and on his own, as he would bully any horse that comes near him be they, mare, gelding even a colt. Solo has one vice and that he scared of shadows, which is why he wears a sheeproll on the noseband while racing.
Now under the capable hands of Kyle Landing the colt is finally beginning to show signs of maturity and is finally seeming to come into his own now. While still a ball of energy, he doesn't wash out with Kyle because of the bond the two are starting to form. Kyle is very much Solo's security blanket and trusts him explicitly.
On the track, Kyle channels this boys edge to the field and is starting to race with much more of an edge as can be seen in his recent successful outings.
History and Pedigree Information
Purchased at the end of Y11, Intrepid Racing took the then three year old sprinter in. He hadn't met much success under the former Gelli Allur stable, but Nick saw this as being due to the lack of bond between the jockey and the horse...
His theory having been proven with Solo's recent success on the tracks with Kyle.
