A true champion mare. Can't get enough of her.

She is amazing. Unless she either gets a horrific trip or goes severely off form she will win 3 straight BC's.

(Although I'm concerned about her shipping to Kentucky- those Appalachian Mountains are pretty imposing... )

Those mountains AND that darned ocean out there. Don't sleep on that effect - I'm sure J. Sheriffs isn't.

I felt she was much the best horse at the 2008 Breeders' Cup and probably 1(a) last year... I don't have the depth of racing knowledge as many, but, who is the last turf miler that is even in her class?

I'm tempted to say Rock of Gibraltar, but he couldn't win one BC race, let alone two (likely three). Goldy may well be the best since Miesque.

Lure is who I'd say.

Since the early part of the decade the milers haven't really been all that great. I loved Artie Schiller, but he's not in Goldikova's class at all.

To be fair rock of Gibraltar probably lost because he was checked behind a horse breaking down at the top of the stretch.
