“I’m going to have to rejig my diary to see him and it could be tight with the connections,” said the former England footballer.
“I think I land around midday and then my flight back is at 8pm, but I’d never forgive myself if he won and I wasn’t there to see it.”
Brown Panther, who won last month’s Irish St Leger, was expected to run in the Qipco British Champions Long Distance Cup at Ascot on Saturday week.
“The Long Distance Cup looks an excellent, high-class race, and, while we don’t want to shirk challenges, we’ve spoken to quite a few experts, who tell us Woodbine’s galloping track will suit Brown Panther and it could be a slightly easier opportunity,” added Owen.
“We have his stallion career to think about and if we can win a Group One race over a mile and a half, then it will only enhance his value at stud.
“He’s six and improving so we are looking at keeping him in training next year. Being able to campaign him on the world stage, such as Melbourne last year, Canada this month, and maybe Dubai next year, is very exciting and who knows whether I’ll have another horse good enough to do that in the future.”
