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.
