Goldikova is Grade One
{{monthName}} {{day}}, {{year}} {{hour12}}:{{minuteTwoDigit}}{{dayPeriod}}
She is the only horse ever to win three Breeders' Cup races of any kind. In three months she will no doubt be favored to win an almost unbelievable fourth consecutive BC Mile. She races against males more often than against her own gender. As if we needed any more proof of the greatness of Goldikova, yesterday she won her 14th grade/group one race. A rare feat which places her in the most elite of possible company. According to my research, here are the biggest winners of racing's most prestigious races since the grading process began almost 40 years ago:
