One could compete in $5 million races … the other can compete for no more than $2 million
Top-flight classic distance runners are superior to 8-furlong turf specialists. Sorry, Goldi fans … just the way it is…

Greatness is greatness. Goldikova is obviously great. Being an almost great classic distance runner isnt anything to be ashamed of.

As in, like, there is no freaking way she's better than a Secretariat or Spectacular Bid. Nor is she greater than a number of fillies and mares I can think of in the last 25 years.

Not denying her greatness, but the point of the article was to reveal the true quality of those "Grade 1" races in the company of below par California females. So we're talking about +/-4 true G1 fields, one of them in open company on the pro-ride.

I'd say a mile--on both turf and dirt--is probably where you'd find the toughest races nowadays.

I've always thought the BC Mile (the turf edition) was one of the toughest, most competitive races.

Goldikova won a 9f race this year in track record time. The idea that she's inferior because the majority of her wins are at 8fs is painfully stupid and would be propagated only by someone with a limited to non-existent understanding of horse racing. Who can that be?
