Default Now that's a champion

Goldikova, a true champion thoroughbred. Simply outstanding.

I don't want to make this another Zenyatta thread. Goldikova is just awesome on her own.

She has faced anything and everything and beat them. Regardless of what Zenyatta does today she cannot be compared to Goldikova who is a true great horse.

I doubt we will ever see another mare beat the boys three times in BC races.

And she didn't even need to bring her (at least 2) rabbits over to get it done. So the stable saved some money, too.

I think she's one of the highest rated female milers we've seen in this country in a long time. I think you're maybe going back to Miesque.

I say that as an FYI for Randall

Amazing horse.

Look at her eye and her body. The length of her shoulder and the perfect balance of her body is beautiful.

I have seen many, many good horses up close in my job as veterinarian, but that is equine perfection.

Her heart and her connection with her rider shows her strenght and her intellegence.

Why I love watching the BC with non-racing people- I explained to my husband about Head being notable for having won the Mile twice as a jockey and now three times as a trainer. He thought about it and said, " So he's basically Apollo Creed, then." Me-(sigh) "Yes, dear." Him- "Sure hope there are no Russian trainers in there, then."

A thing of beauty is a joy forever. What a beauty that Goldikova.

She has less then a 1% chance to win HOY. She is amazing, but beating Gio Ponti does not make you American HOY. If one of the big 4 dont win the Classic, her odds would go up from 1% to about 5.34%.

Better than Zenyatta unless Zenyatta wins the BC Classic.
