She rocks...from TDN:
No Stress As Goldikova Makes It Ten G1s at Deauville
Posted: 10:00 AM ET
15.40 at DVL G1 Prix Rothschild (ex Prix d'Astarte) [1m (T)] Winner: Goldikova (Ire), m, 5 by Anabaa
GOLDIKOVA (IRE), m, 5, by Anabaa--Born Gold, by Blushing Groom (Fr).
O/B-Wertheimer & Frere; T-Freddy Head; J-Olivier Peslier. Lifetime Record: 18 starts, 13 wins, 4 places, €3,293,498.
Despite her already outstanding record, Goldikova seems to be getting better with every race and made light work of this latest test to equal the record of the great Miesque in reaching double figures at the top level. Sent off the 2-5 favorite, the bay was content to track her rabbit Only Green (Ire) (Green Desert) and Music Show (Ire) (Noverre) before easing to the front passing the quarter pole and drawing away under hand riding to beat the latter by three lengths, with Elusive Wave (Ire) (Elusive City) one length away in third.
