Goldikova put up another magnificent display to land a third consecutive Prix Rothschild at Deauville and clinch her 10th career Group One victory.
The Freddie Head-trained wonder mare settled in third for most of the way and Olivier Peslier eased her up to challenge two furlongs out.
She soon left the field trailing in her wake and won with consumate ease as Mick Channon's Music Show settled for second, three lengths behind, with Elusive Wave in third.
The victory means Goldikova joins the former Head-ridden Miesque as the only horse to have won 10 Group One races since the inception of the Pattern in 1970.
Like Miesque, she has claimed two Breeders' Cup Miles, and Paddy Power left her unchanged at 6-4 to add an unprecedented third at Churchill Downs in November.
