Change of Ownership for Preakness Winner
Previously owned by Al Golds’s Gold Square LLC, Napoleon Solo will remain with trainer Chad Summers.
Summers told Grening, “Very appreciative of everything that Al did to get us to this point. It’s going to feel awkward putting different blinkers and different silks on him, but Napoleon’s still Napoleon and we’re excited to make him champion 3-year-old at the end of the year, and they can hold the trophy up together,” Summers said. “I’m appreciative of the new owner allowing us to keep the horse.”
Haskell Stakes Still the Target
