Dream Ahead Upends Goldikova in Foret

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. · 238 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. · 238 days ago ·

medlocke · Time eventually catches up to even the greatest of the great one's. This is the first time in her career that Goldikova has been defeated 3 times in the same season, ever!! The great French filly, Zarkava, beat her twice in the French 1000 Guineas and the Prix De Diane(French Oaks) back in 2008. But until today, that accounted for the most losses in a single season for Goldikova. I'm at all saying that she can't or won't win a 4th BC Mile this year? But I do believe it suggest that she'll be more vulnerable this year than in any of her 3 previous BC Mile win's. TJMO. · 239 days ago ·

Cigar16 · Her race today was way too "wham, bam, thank you ma'am". She was a tightly canned sardine on the rail, never looked comfortable, had her ears pinned, and never had the chance to settle. The jock moved her a tad to early just to get her comfortable and clear knowing full well she needed it! That being said, she had her burst of speed a bit too early and it was nowhere near as strong as usual. I believe she was a bit beat from humming along in that sardine can. She should come in strong to CD. · 239 days ago ·

fonnerparkfilly · I think Head is correct, "the mileage is catching up to Goldikova". At what point are we expecting too much of a horse? Time and time again this mare has dug deep and given her all against the best, male and female, but she can't beat father time. I have nothing but absolute respect for Goldikova. She is a great thoroughbred. Losing without losing heart is the mark of a great champion. Goldi girl is that and more. I still believe that longevity defines a horse. Win or lose, we all know the depth of Goldikova's soul. As for the Breeders Cup, a 4th time? I wouldn't bet against her. · 239 days ago ·

rossington · Great race, and another very well ridden St. Leger by young William Buick!! When you see the replay of the race, you'll see that Masked Marvel was clearly much the best horse in the race today!! Even at the end of 1-3/4, it took Buick forever to pull Masked Marvel up!! · 261 days ago ·

medlocke · If you'll check the comments that I've made all week long. I stated that both Debussy and Tazeez were very legitimate threat's to Gio Ponti in the Arlington Million if Gio Ponti didn't bring his "A" game into the race. Debussy is a multiple G2 and G3 winner in Europe. Debussy beat the likes of World Heritage, Ideology, and Allybar in the G2 2009 Prix Eugene Adam at Maisons-Lafiitte in France. He'd beaten Midday in the 2009 Blue Ribbon Trial Stakes at Ascot. Midday, besides winning the 09' B.C F&M Turf. Has just rolled off back to back G1 win's in the Blue Square Nassau Stakes and the Yorkshire Oaks. Debussy also won the G3 Huxley Stakes quite impressively at Chester back in May. He had just ran 4th at York in the Blue Square York Stakes. Beaten by Summit Surge, Bushman, and Allybar. Tazeez had ran 3rd behind Byword and Twice Over in the G1 Prince of Wales's Stakes at Ascot in June. Then ran 3rd again at Newmarket in the G2 Princess of Wales Stakes in July. Where he outran heavy race favorite, Spanish Moon, to grab 3rd in that race. So both of these colts are very legit turf horses. Gio Ponti didn't do himself any favors swinging 7 or 8 wide against this field off of the final turn, headed for home. Debussy's jockey, William Buick. rode a very clever, and very savvy race. Holding the rail, and saving ground with Debussy for as long as possible. The bottom line here is that Debussy just had plenty left in the tank when Buick called on him for his run. Enough left in the tank to run down Gio Ponti and Tazeez. · 646 days ago ·

mshutty · Interesting quotes from the race--William Buick (Debussy)-- "We were very tight for room. I thought 'Oh no, I'm not going to have room' but we finally got clear and he was able to run his race" Buick is Norwegian born and rides first call for John Gosden He also won the Dubai Sheema Classic aboard Dar Re Me. John Gosden--"I've been trying to win this race for 28 years" Ramon Dominguez (Gio Ponti)--"I thought I had enough to hang on. Once I got clear, the horse was idling a bit-maybe looking at the stands or something. The trip was great. I had a lot of horse turning for home." · 645 days ago ·

bband · Dar Re Mi ran huge today. Ironically, about 5 minutes before the race, on the simulcast signal, trainer John Gosden when asked about her chances, says he looks for her to run well, but "Let's be honest, its late March and she's a mare, I don't expect her to be at her best until later in the year." Good lesson why you should never listen to trainers and they don't even know when their horses are doing great. · 793 days ago ·
