Gold Luck gets her career off to the perfect start

GOLD LUCK, the two-year-old half-sister to exceptional racemare Goldikova, got her career off to the perfect start on Monday when she won a mile maiden for unraced fillies at Maisons-Laffitte.

The daughter of Redoute's Choice represents the same connections as her illustrious sibling - trained by Freddy Head for owner-breeders the Wertheimer brothers - and was ridden by Maxime Guyon to score by a head from the Falco filly Ifiandra. They pulled two and a half lengths clear of third-placed Orrery, a daughter of Smart Strike.

Head said after the race there should be more to come
from Gold Luck.

"I'm very happy with her," he said. "She wasn't fully tuned-up today and I think she can make plenty of progress from this.

"Next year will be for her and we'll leave her through the winter now in the hope she turns into a good filly. She handled herself very well and it looked a nice race. The runner-up pushed her hard at the end and overall they looked a nice bunch.

Got my fingers crossed! Noticed he's in without Lasix. Will be interested to see how Godolphin's $500k yearling purchase Exulting (Tapit-Magical Feeling by Empire Maker) does in his first start too.

Hopefully she takes on Minding at some point. I was really looking forward to that match up earlier this year.

So Mi Dar is entered in the Prix de l'Opera on Sunday. No Minding, sadly.

I wonder if that means the U.S. will get lucky and have Minding at the Breeders' Cup (or England will get lucky and have her on champs day.)

From what I've read, Minding is headed to Ascot's Champion's Day.

California Chrome's sister, R Sunday Surprise, runs in about 2 hours at SA in R7.

They haven't been shy about going to both with horses in the past (Found and Excelebration both spring to mind) so there's still hope she'll come.

Boy, she stinks.

What happened to the other one, Hope's Love? She hasn't started since May and has no workouts lately. Her last start was when they decided to enter her in a Stakes race and she finished 10th.

So far, California Chrome is Love the Chase's only winner then?

Yes. Hope's Love finished 2nd once in 5 starts and off the board in the others. R Sunday Surprise has two 3rds from 4 starts.

Not holding my breath for the full brother then. Maybe the Tapits will find a tad more success? If not it really won't bode well for the family value.

Hope's Love looked promising in the first start but then got injured and never lived up to that promise. With how the other siblings have run, that injury gives her a good excuse to say "She just never came back the same" instead of "She really sucks like the rest of them." Hopefully the Tapit(s) get more of their sire's talent.

R Sunday Surprise wasn't totally stinking... I mean 3 thirds in 4 starts would be incentive to keep trying, but dead last.. seems like a regression.

Or the other 2YOs are progressing and she's not.
