Paco Boy (who prefers shorter in Europe) has beaten her and Proviso is a beast. It's better than the bunch she faced last year. Euros often get longer distances in the US because the courses are flatter and they usually get Lasix.

Paco Boy has never beaten Goldikova. He has faced her three times this year and had dead aim on her in the stretch in all 3. Even when he seems to be going better than her, she finds a little extra. At their best, he's simply not good enough to beat her. If he gets any serious action on the win-end it should be reminiscent of '88 when people starting raving about Warning as a possible upsetter of Miesque. He was up the track.

Proviso, if you want to get technical, has beaten Goldikova. She was 5th when Goldikova was only 7th in her French debut last season.
