Goldikova: The World's Top Female
It will come as a shock to the US racegoers that the rest of the world rates five-year-old Goldikova as the best racing female in the world.
She was rated in tie with Rip Van Winkle last year at 133 just below the world leader Sea The Stars at 136.
Though she has won both her races in 2010, I suspect the handicappers will not accept that number as she has not won her 2010 races by thousands of lengths (seeminly their criteria).
This year, she appears to conserve her energy more wisely. She barely blows after her shorter-distance victories and is enjoying herself more.
Believe it. This tail-swishing, elegant mare is deadly.

Entirely agree. This would put Paco Boy who was beaten a neck and giving 3 pounds in the opener at Royal Ascot right there as well. Paco Boy obviously is male but there is no embarrassment in being beaten by the worlds top female at 1 mile.
Quality Road is presently the top horse but that will change soon, so many big races early doors in USA.
