Goldikova vs. Canford Cliffs
Coming up next month in the Queen Anne Stakes on the 14th at Ascot. Everyone knows what Goldikova has done in her career but not as many know about Canford Cliffs. He finished last year with three straight G1 wins (Ir. 1000 Guineas, St. James's Palace Stakes, Sussex Stakes) and today started off his 4yo season with a win in the G1 Lockinge. Is he going to be up to beating the great mare? Poor Europeans being forced to watch stuff like this and Frankel and Workforce while we get to enjoy Animal Kingdom and Game on Dude.

Goldikova may not be heading to Ascot.
Only people that don't follow European racing don't know about Canford Cliffs.

The milers are excellent in Europe again this year. That was a solid field, but I'm not going wild over that result. He doesn't get the crown until he takes down #1. Further, not sure what to think about the effort needed to take down an Italian invader. Maybe that one will prove to be good at the top level, but that is another thing to see. The Queen Anne will be a darn good race though, Goldie or no Goldie.

Canford Cliffs has won a few important races. Now he has to defeat a few important horses.
Noble's Promise and his Euro equivalent Dick Turpin don't count.
