Put it in perspective, everyone knows how good Goldikova's been throughout her career. Canford Cliffs, I felt anyway, breezed right on by Goldikova in this race with what looked a good bit still in hand, and Frankel left Canford Cliffs absolutely for dead in the blink of an eye at Goodwood just a little over a month after he'd won this race. Speaks to how good Frankel really is, IMO.

@fequare Now as much as I don't like to agree with someone who posts on every single video like GBeret does, that's just not going to be enough. That was far and away his best race of his life, and that California turf allows Claiming horses to regularly go sub 1:34. Goldikova just went 1:18 for 1400m on comparable ground. And considering they were sub 11 seconds in the final furlong, I'm thinking they weren't going to drop anchor with a 14 and 3/5 to make it close. Jeranimo is good, not amazing

Goldikova will never make it to the top as Ruffian or Zenyatta plus shes a turf horse.

no turf milers in america anywhere in goldikova's league? u better check ur stats. a horse anmed jeranimo just went 1:32 and change at santa anita and is headed to breeders cup.

canford was a great horse dont take his sussex run into account it was a 2f sprint hannon and hughes made a big mistake thinkin canford was a faster horse than frankel he shud of had a pacemaker setting a fast pace which suits canford and he can quicken off that, canford NEEDS a fast pace he is useless without it. But dont slag him off he was fantastic end of story. he had an amazin sustained acceleration.

@john131349, With Canford Cliffs retired, and Frankel an absentee landlord for the Breeders Cup, I have no doubt now that Goldikova's likely to win her fourth Breeders Cup Mile. There's no turf milers in America that's anywhere near her league.

@GBeret83 CC would beat Goldi on o straight track but not on a turning track in the USA, Goldis short stride is made for the tight bends and she will win her 4th BC mile if she runs

I will never forget you! You are the best Canford, it was an honor to know you!

Workforce?????? Workforce is a cunt of a horse, an absolute CUNT! Cape Blanco beat him fair and square when he had room to run TWICE, oh finally Cape Blanco starts running again and goes to USA and wins the Man O War stakes and the Million! What a donkey he must be! Canford Cliffs would beat Goldikova every time, he wouldn't stand a chance against Frankel. Strong Suit could be as good as CC, he needed an operation and since he had it he's won both his races easily.

Question: Who,is better? Goldikova or Canford Cliffs? I havent paid attention to Europe in a while, and I had never really heard of CC before this.
