Real Solution=s dam, the Claiborne-bred Reachfortheheavens (Pulpit), was claimed by the Ramseys for $25,000 in late 2007 and was sent to Kitten=s Joy in her first year at stud in 2008. The resulting foal was born in Pennsylvania and was subsequently exported to Italy to be trained by trainer Gianluca Bietolini. The bay was dismissed at odds of 19-1 for his first career appearance at the Capannelle in Rome in November 2011, but belied those odds to score by 2 1/2 lengths in heavy ground over a mile and three-sixteenths. He was the cat=s meow of that country=s 3-year-old crop in 2012, returning to Rome to thrash a conditions field by seven lengths last March before a first black-type win by five lengths in the Premio Botticelli the following month. Frankie Dettori was recruited for the G2 Derby Italiano three weeks later and the betting public hammered Real Solution into 2-5 favoritism, but he never got untracked, finishing a one-paced sixth before getting some time off.
