Best Solution (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}-Al Andalyya, by Kingmambo), a three-time Group 1 winner for Godolphin, will stand in Germany, where two of his top-level victories occurred, at Gestut Auenquelle in 2020, Racing Post reports. The 5-year-old will be introduced at €6,500. Auenquelle partnered with Gestut Brummerhof, Gestut Ittlingen and Gestut Rottgen to secure the horse.
A 90,000gns Tattersalls October Book 2 yearling buy, Best Solution went into training with Saeed bin Suroor. He won the G3 Autumn S. at two and was second to Waldgeist (GB) (Galileo {Ire}) in the G1 Criterium de Saint-Cloud. He won the Listed Derby Trial S. at Lingfield at three and despite failing to factor in the main event at Epsom, he bounced back to win the G3 St Simon S. Best Solution was at his best at four, rattling off three straight Group 1 wins: the G1 Grosser Preis von Berlin, the G1 Grosser Preis von Baden and Australia's G1 Caulfield Cup.
Best Solution is a descendant of the G3 Park Hill S. winner Eva Luna (Alleged), whose legacy includes G1 St Leger winner Brian Boru (GB) (Sadler's Wells) and G1 Investec Derby and G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe winner Workforce (GB) (King's Best).
