Just to add to Goldikova's impressive credentials that 6 of her 9 G1 triumphs are against males!

I would love to browse the PPs of the horses in Steve's blog.

Can someone lend me $190 so I can do so?

....psstt....be quiet. We arent discussing horses that ship all over the world and beat all comers. We are just trying our best to refute that Zenyatta belongs in the discussion of one of the greatest female horses in the U.S. of all time.

Don't forget, according to one of the Zenyattards here, Goldikova is nothing since she couldn't win the BCC, which is the only race that matters (unless Z doesn't run there).

I believe, but I could be mistaken, that it was the smoothest of the Zenyattards that said that.

You're talking about that guy who is affiliated with that cheating football program aren't you.

I consider classic distance runners inherently superior to sprinters and strict milers, Indian boy.

If this Goldilocks is so great, why didn't they stick her in the BCC (or the BCT) last year?

Not surprisingly, both of those contests have significantly higher purses than the BCM.

I'm just going to go ahead and go out on a limb here, but I'm guessing - just guessing - that she was in the Mile because she's a...miler. Crazy but true.

Exactly, dirtslot

Not "bashing" Goldilocks … just happen to think that top classic distance runners (like Z) are superior to strict milers.

I generally agree, and I would still take Goldikova over Zenyatta every day of the week and twice on Sunday. Her accomplishments dwarf Zenyatta's that heavily.

If she goes in the BC Classic, would we not all agree here this is somewhat a challenge?

I wasn't serious.. She routinely faces males and travels all over, I think she's been challenged plenty.
