GOLDIKOVA TO CHASE HAT-TRICK

French trainer Freddie Head has confirmed dual Breeders' Cup heroine Goldikova will remain in training next year.

The four-year-old daughter of Anabaa, who is owned by the Wertheimer brothers, defied a poor draw to win the Breeders' Cup Mile for the second year running earlier in the month.

Goldikova, a winner of 10 of her 15 starts including seven Group or Grade Ones, will now aim to become the first horse to win more than two Breeders' Cup races at Churchill Downs in next year's championships.

"It is brilliant news, Goldikova stays in training next year. I'm delighted," said Head.

"She came back from America in very good form and she is very well in herself and could not be better.

"I know the Wertheimers would love to go back for the Breeders' Cup again so that will be the aim. We have not made a decision yet what the rest of her programme will be."
