Dream Ahead Upends Goldikova in Foret

FRENCH racegoers were denied the fond farewell they were hoping for in the Prix de la Foret as the great Goldikova was touched off by Dream Ahead (David Simcock/William Buick), who landed the fifth Group 1 of his career after a thrilling finish.The son of Diktat will not race next season and may hav...Read More

Rossington · Quite frankly, I didn't think Dream Ahead beating Goldikova in the Prix De la Foret was as big of an upset as a lot of analyst made it out to be. It's not as if Goldikova was beaten by some nag in Dream Ahead. We're talking about a horse in Dream Ahead that broke his maiden by 9+ length's first time out at Nottingham racetrack in the UK, and then became a G1 stakes winner in just his second lifetime start. When he shipped to Deauville, France and won the G1 Prix Morny over 6f. Going into the Prix De la Foret, Dream Ahead already had 4 G1 win's over 6f, and he also finished his 2yr.old season in 2010 tied with Frankel for the highest official rating from Timeform among 2yr.old's. Dream Ahead's rating for his G1 Middle Park Stakes win, and Frankel for his G1 Dewhurst Stakes win. I'm not saying I agree with the ratings, but I also don't work for Timeform. All that said about Dream Ahead, I still wouldn't completely write off Goldikova's chances of winning a 4th BC Mile. Although I will admit she looks more vulnerable in this one than any of the other 3 BC Mile's that she's won. But Goldikova's saving grace in the race may come in the form of something I've heard a lot racing analyst say about her over the years. In Europe and America. That although Goldikova's raced far less in America than she has in Europe. She may actually be more effective on American racetracks, because she seems to run a mile better going around turns than she does on the straight mile track's in Europe. I tend to agree with that comment. Because when you watch Goldikova in her previous BC Mile win's, she explodes around turns in those races. It seems to be where she's able to put distance between herself and the competition. Coming off of turns. · 238 days ago ·

Winplacsho · I think Goldikova is better around 2 turns too. Plus, she gets a better pace to run at in the USA. In Europe, she is normally very close to the pace because its so slow. Also, in the Prix De la Foret it seemed as she made the lead too soon while Dream Ahead was allowed to buy his time along the outside. She gave a winning effort, so my confidence in her chances to win the BC mile hasn't waivered. · 237 days ago ·

footlick · I think hat she is running against better horses his year. Other than Makfi, Paco Boy was he best horse she ran against last year. This year she has run against Canford Cliffs, Immortal Verse and Dream Ahead. IMO they are more in Makfi's league than Paco Boy's. But she seems to love American tracks and American racing and you can't say that about all Euros. She will be a tough bet against here, unless you feel she is going to go off form. · 237 days ago ·

BrianZipse · I know many are rooting for Galikova in the Arc, but I think it will be So You Think who adds another cherry to a phenomenal career on Sunday. · 242 days ago ·

medlocke · This is generally the time of the year that you see Goldikova come into her level. Not that she doesn't already look sensational during the rest of the year, too. I think she'll win the G1 Prix De l' Foret again on Sunday. As for Galikova, she's been one of the most rapidly improving fillies in Europe this season. 3yr.old or otherwise. Personally, I would rank only Sarafina slightly above her among the French fillies this season. I think Galikova has a very live chance in this year's Arc. As a matter of fact, I'm using her to finish 3rd in my Arc super-fecta. It's been a long dry spell for Coolmore in this race. But I believe they have an outstanding chance of securing an Arc win this season with 4 of the best in their stable entered. So You Think, St Nicholas Abbey, Treasure Beach, and Seville. I believe So You Think has just exactly the kind of class a horse needs to win an Arc, and I believe he'll do just that on Sunday. With the ground supposedly going to be much faster than it was when he ran in the Prix Foy. It wouldn't surprise me to see a big run out of St Nicholas Abbey either? He's been at his best this season on ground that was really fast when he won the G3 Ormonde Stakes at Chester and the G1 Coronation Cup at Epsom. JMO. · 242 days ago ·

medlocke · @BrianZipse, I agree, 110%!! Heffernan just needs to get So You Think to settle early, and ride him a little patiently at 12f than he usually does at 10f. As long as Seamie Heffernan does those 2 thing's? I believe So You Think will take care of the rest. If he win's or run's a really big race in the Arc on Sunday? I believe we'll see this horse come calling at Churchill Downs in November for the BC Classic. Right now Brian, I have So You Think-Sarafina-Galikova figured for my Arc tri-fecta. I'm debating between Workforce, St Nicholas Abbey, and Snow Fairy as to which one to use to complete my Arc super-fecta. I had initially chosen Snow Fairy. But I after some reflection, it may be presuming too much to think that 3 fillies will round out the first 4 places in the finish of this year's Arc? JMO. · 242 days ago ·

Rossington · For those considering backing Workforce to repeat as Arc champion this year? Fair warning!! It's news on almost every European racing web-site today that Sir Michael Stoute has voiced BIG CONCERNS about the ground at Longchamp on Sunday being far faster than what is to Workforce's liking. Stoute said it's no secret that Workforce is a better horse with some cut in the ground. But he's not sure that Workforce is going to get that on Sunday? Something to bear in mind. Stoute and Prince Khalid Abdullah sent Workforce all the way over from the UK to Churchill Downs for last year's BC Turf, and he was scratched out of the race on BC Turf day for precisely the same reasons. · 242 days ago ·

yukichan · Agree...it is SYT's race to lose, but the talent in this race is pretty awesome. And what do you think of the supplement of Meandre, Danedream, and Masked Marvel? Make the Arc even more exciting and complicated...for second place! I think the firm/fast going also works against Danedream. So my picks are SYT, Sarafina, Galikova. · 242 days ago ·

BrianAppleton · I'll be rooting for Goldikova to romp in the Forex with all my heart, she's incredible! I think it would be really neat to see Workforce repeat in the Arc, but So You Think and Sarafina look fantastic. · 242 days ago ·
