Of the 14 Breeders' Cup races, the biggest favorite is likely to be in the Mile, where Goldikova goes for her unprecedented third consecutive victory on the Churchill Downs turf.

Each year, it seems the Breeders’ Cup Turf (gr. IT) paints the same bleak picture for the American grass horses. Whether it’s Conduit, who captured the last two BC Turfs, or the 10-1 Red Rocks in 2006, or the 1,2,3,4 Euro blitz in 2005, the Americans have had a tough time defending their home turf. Read More

  • medlocke · Difficult, but not impossible. Goldikova is still on top of her game. But she has lost a step from her 2008 and 2009 Breeders Cup Mile-Turf victories. I think the 2010 B.C. Mile-Turf will prove to be Goldikova at her most vulnerable in any of her three attempts. If Sidney's Candy run's the 8 furlongs of the B.C. Mile anything at all like he ran the 8-1/2 furlongs of the La Jolla Handicap, setting a new Del Mar turf course record for 8-1/2 furlongs in his only lifetime start on turf, I think he has a big chance. He ran those 8-1/2 furlongs like he was in a 6 furlong sprint race. Also, if the Court Vision that showed up and won the 2010 Woodbine Mile run's that well in the B.C.Mile-Turf? He's got a very realistic chance at beating the Euro's as well. I'd say the Euro's have an advantage. But America does have a couple of turf mile contenders in Sidney's Candy and Court Vision that are more than capable of springing the upset. JMO. · 1004 days ago ·

What more can be written about Goldikova?  Put her in a race at a mile on good ground and she'll get it done time and again.  For a moment in the Queen Anne Stakes it looked like Paco Boy might have the momentum to go by Goldikova in the shadow of the wire.  But the champion mare...Read More
SUPERSTAR mare Goldikova put in another trademark performance to land a thrilling opener to Royal Ascot on Tuesday, quickening away from her rivals and then holding off the late challenge of Paco Boy by a neck.

Paco Boy just won the Bet365.com Handicap, over a mile at Sandown on April 24, easily blowing by the field in the stretch to win the race for a second straight year. He really uncorked an unbelievable turn of foot in this race. The race also had the likes of Confront and Border Patrol as well. Next up for Paco Boy, is a rematch with Rip Van Winkle at Newbury on May 15th in the Juddmonte Lockinge Stakes. I really think that give the Lockinge Stakes is raced over a mile as well, that Paco Boy, based on his recent performance at Sandown, is going to be difficult for Rip Van Winkle or any of the other race contenders to beat. IMO.
Rip Van Winkle finally lived up to the hype and broke through for his first group I victory when he powered home for a 2 1/2-length win over Paco Boy in the BGC Sussex Stakes (Eng-I) at Goodwood July 29.Read More
It has been a generally progressive year for Paco Boy following his lackluster eighth in the Dubai Duty Free (G1).  Richard Hannon’s colt will aim for another top class win in Wednesday’s BCG Sussex Stakes (G1) at Goodwood. Read More
