EUROPEAN champion
Goldikova delivered her second foal, a filly by Galileo, in Ireland on Thursday.
The daughter of Anabaa enthralled racegoers during a five-season career before retiring to stud, winning 14 Group 1 races including three renewals of the Breeders' Cup Mile - becoming the first horse ever to achieve such a feat.
Bred and raced by the Wertheimers, Goldikova was sent out by former jockey and renowned trainer Freddy Head, lining up on 27 occasions and only once failing to make the frame.
In addition to her impeccable race record, Goldikova boasts an enviable broodmare pedigree. She is one of five Group winners for her dam Born Gold - among them Prix Vermeille heroine Galikova, by Galileo - who is herself a sister to dual Group 1 winner Gold Splash, the dam of Listed winner Royal God.
The pair are out of Prix Saint-Alary winner Riviere D'Or, a daughter of Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe winner Gold River and a half-sister to black type scorers Chercheur D'Or and Goldneyev.
Last year Goldikova delivered her first foal, a colt named Goldikovic, who is also by Galileo.
Goldikova will visit the champion sire once again this season.
