Multiple champion Ashado is a graduate of the 2002 Keeneland September Yearling Sale who sold for $9 million at the 2005 November Breeding Stock Sale. Two-time Horse of the Year Curlin sold at the 2005 September Sale.
Solis’ four stakes wins here include two Grade 1 races: 1997 Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup on Ryafan and 2012 Maker’s 46 Mile on Data Link.
