Goldikova Wins 2nd Straight BC Mile

ARCADIA, Calif. (AP) ― Goldikova has successfully defended her title in the $2 million Breeders' Cup Mile, beating 10 male rivals.

The Irish import won Saturday's race at Santa Anita by a half-length. Ridden by Olivier Peslier, Goldikova ran the distance on the turf in 1:32.26 and paid $4.80, $4 and $2.60 as the 7-5 wagering favorite.

Peslier and trainer Freddy Head also were part of the 4-year-old filly's victory last year over the same turf course.

Courageous Cat returned $12.80 and $8, while Justenuffhumor was another length back in third and paid $8 to show. Court Vision was fourth.

Goldikova's victory was the third by a Europe-based horse Saturday. Two European horses won on Friday's opening day of the world championships.
