DT looks to have ideal conditions to beat the wonder filly. It appears the ground was v.firm at Newbury last week when he didn't let himself
down. 1m 1f on g/s on a turning track looks ideal.. He's a nibble horse and draw 1 is perfect and a big positive round longchamp.
Goldikova barely stays 1m1f and only just hung on last year she's getting older too and surely cann't keep on winning . Byword is
very consistent but needs a bit further. Ransom Note won't have the pace needed on a turning track.
Dick turpin will hopefully hold his rail position and swoop late on to win at a very big 8/1.

Not convinced about the excuses for DT at Newbury. Race is coming very soon after as well. Goldikova in a different league to the rest.
not impossible on soft ground but she should just about too good for him on seasonal reappearence. good or better, no contest!

forgot its over 9f tomoz, big chance of her being turned over i reckon. will mant the ground firm enough.
she wont be beaten today,gets the 9f easy enough and won with plenty to spare last year producing her customary turn of foot to put the race to bed before OP easing down towards the line taking it easy on her,F Head made the mistake of leaving her to short of fitness in this race 2 years ago when 7th and promised then not to make the same mistake again,she will be plenty fit enough to deal with this lot
DT is seven furlong specialist imo. Should be aimed at Foret,Maurice de gheest and races of that ilk. Goldi + CC are a level above this horse.
I don't think DT will stay. I think Byword may be the way today. Fit and ready and certainly will be staying best of all.
Ground listed in Racing post as Good to soft , yet owner offers excuse that the ground was too fast for
DT. I've had enough of the horse having blown my money on him 2 weeks running. Goldikova was there for the taking today but she still just manages to win again- shes probably the best mare ever seen on a racetrack.

Fantastic horse - makes you wonder how great Zarkava might have been has she been kept in training.
not very great. zarkava was a madam, like sariska, nothing like goldi.
odds on she'd have regressed!
goldi is a one off.

goldi is a one off.
Hard to say with certainty - one of the best 3 year old fillies I've seen.
Not fair to compare Goldikova to any horse that was retired to breed at only 3. The mare is amazing 6 years old and as good as ever. Hardly ever runs a bad race.
I think its wrong to compare a horse that retired at 3 to a horse that has beaten horses over many years at the highest level.
just my opinion.
just my opinion.
Not trying to say one is better than the other as we all know what Goldikova has gone on to achieve - just wondering what Zarkava might have achieved in time, having been one of a small select band of horses to have beaten Goldikova, winning Boussac, Pouliches, Vermeille and Arc.
Goldikova has been winning the best mile races for years now and unlike the sprinters or stayers its the
most competitive division of all. I cann't remember a Miler being able to do this year in year out.
She's a total freak ,the likes of which is unlikely to be seen again for a very long time.
Zarkava, Sea to the Stars and Dancing Brave were great horses for a year and its not the horses fault
that they didn't race beyond 3. Would they have beaten Goldikova at their peak probably yes , would
they have been able to keep winning group ones up to the age of 6 I very much doubt it. Its sad that
we'll never Know for sure.
