Goldikova seeking Foret consolation

GOLDIKOVA is reported be none the worse after she suffered her first eclipse of the season in the Prix Jacques Le Marois at Deauville earlier this month.

The five-year-old was sent off at odds-on following three consecutive Group One triumphs this term, but she ultimately proved no match for 2000 Guineas winner Makfi.

Pierre-Yves Bureau, racing manager to owners the Wertheimer Brothers, admits the testing conditions did not play to Goldikova’s strengths but he is keen to give plenty of credit to the winner.
