FREDDIE Head put the finishing touches to Goldikova's preparation on Friday morning before her departure to California for the TVG Breeders' Cup Mile, for which she is hot favourite in ante-post lists.

"The filly was worked just under a mile left handed on ‘Les Aigles' with one leader," reported the trainer.

"She was ridden by Olivier Peslier and went very well - I am very happy with her. She leaves for Amsterdam tomorrow and will then be flown directly to Los Angeles."

    I can't remember, but I'm sure Head is repeating what he did last year. Certainly no reason not to.

    Regarding the rules, I think they clear quarantine in a day or two. So they wouldn't need to arrive until maybe Wednesday or Thursday at the latest.
