Goldikova is a half sister to Group Three Prix de Guiche winner Gold Sound and Group Three Prix Cleopatre winner Gold Round out of a winning sister to Group One Prix marcel Boussac and Coronation Stakes winner Gold Splash. The second dam Riviere d'Or won three Group races including the Group One Prix Saint-Alary.

This win comes the day after the death of Anabaa was announced. The French champion sire has 36 winners this season and this his first Group winner of the year. He has a substantial lead as the leading French-based sire this year.
