Goldikova will complete her TVG Breeders' Cup Mile preparations in the Prix de la Foret at Longchamp on Saturday October 3rd.
The four-year-old put in an outstanding performance to beat subsequent Group One winner Aqlaam by six lengths in the Group One Fresnay-le-Buffard Jacques Le Marois on her latest start.
Now a six-time Group One winner, Goldikova holds entries in the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes at Ascot on September 26th and the Sun Chariot Stakes at Newmarket on October 3rd but still stay in France for her next start.
"Goldikova will be running in the Prix de la Foret at Longchamp and then, providing she runs well, she will be heading to Santa Anita," trainer Freddie Head confirmed.
"She is very well at the moment and I am very pleased with her. We decided that the best way to target her at the Breeders' Cup would be to run her at Longchamp rather than going to Newmarket or Ascot.
"She could still return to Britain next season if all goes well on her next two starts."
