She was bred for greatness and became the first racehorse to win A BREEDERS' CUP RACE three times in a row, securing her place in The Racehorse Hall Of Fame.

GoldiKova's Tradition of Champions
While researching key points on Goldi's pedigree to give to the Spotlight Auctioneer, I was shocked to discover the actual count of her National Champion family members is SEVEN! I had to make a list to make sure I wasn't double-counting or imagining things. Sure enough, SEVEN of Goldi's family members hold the National Champion title, including CH Wood Bridge Farm Belladonna 2*M who won TWICE!

Goldi with her breeder, Ilene Leader
Join us as we celebrate not only GoldiKova's achievements but also the legacy of excellence that she represents within the Nigerian Dwarf breed.
Let’s jump right in with Goldi’s sire, * B Winning Streak S Jarvis, and his dam, GCH Winning Streak CM Marvelous 6*M EEEE92. This will take a while to get through all I've learned about GoldiKova genetic lines. She has so many special and exciting family members!

Jarvis is an exceptional buck and, indeed, a dream come true. Both sides of his lineage boast impressive Linear Appraisal (LA) scores, straight legs, and feet, outstanding milk production, and udder conformation with excellent height, medial attachment, and perfectly positioned teats.
Jarvis Dam: GCH Winning Streak CM Marvelous 6*M EEEE92
GCH Winning Streak CM Marvelous is part of an elite group of Nigerian Dwarf goats, carrying a rare and prestigious LA score of EEEE 92, (RUH) at 44 and r(RUA) at 45. She’s a 3-time Grand Champion, a 3-time Best of Breed (BOB) winner, and has also secured a Best in Show (BIS) title.
Here’s what Marvie’s breeder, Donna Lavery, of Winning Streak, has to say,
“Marvie is a beautiful little doe. She looks so much like her dam, Amazing, with her strong dairy character, long, elegant neck, high and wide escutcheon, and remarkable length of both body and bone. Marvie easily earned her Junior leg and a BIS win under Judge Jackson Noble, who praised her as the ‘most balanced doe in the lineup.’ Marvie stands on ultra-correct feet and legs, with some of the straightest, most upright front legs in the herd.
“She freshened for the first time in late April 2020 with a stunningly correct mammary system that looks just like her dam’s well attached and capacious with a correct medial and teats that have lovely length, delineation, and placement.”
Teat placement is something I've worked incredibly hard on within my herd. So, when selecting a buck to bring in, a solid and well-established udder line is an absolute must. Marvelous’ udder is precisely what I was looking for!
When Jarvis’s daughter, IlenesRascals GoldiKova, was born, I was in awe. I’m sure many of you breeders can relate—there are those litters that make your heart skip a beat, where you instantly know they’re something special. That’s exactly how I feel about GoldiKova and her siblings. They are extraordinary, and I’m beyond excited to share her with someone in the goat world.
GCH Winning Streak EOT Amazing 5*M EEEE91, or as she is lovingly known, Mazy. Mazy was not only the foundation of the Winning Streak herd but also a cherished part of my own goat family through her incredible grandson, Winning Streak S Jarvis *B.

With IlenesRascals Goldikova being chosen as the 2024 ADGA Spotlight Sale Nigerian Dwarf doe, it’s impossible not to reflect on the foundation laid by her great granddam, Amazing, whose influence continues to shine brightly through her descendants. Her legacy lives on in Goldikova, carrying forward the strength, grace, and outstanding qualities that made her a queen among goats.
Mazy was a powerhouse from the start—her show ring debut as a 3-year-old milker was nothing short of AMAZING!
Her remarkable achievements include 4x Senior Grand Champion (SrGCH), 4x Best of Breed (BOB), 2x Best in Show (BIS), and 1x Best Udder in Show (BUIS). At the 2018 ADGA Nationals, she was impressed with a 2nd place Youth and 10th place Open 3-year-old milker finish out of more than 50 contenders.
She received her permanent LA score of EEEE91 with a 42 in rear udder height (RUH) as a five-year-old in 2020. Not to mention, she peaked at over 6 lbs of milk per day during her 2018 lactation, finishing with 1,220 lbs of milk in just 260 days.
Mazy’s legacy is carried forward through her offspring, including her grandsons and granddaughters, who have continued to honor her excellence with three finished champion daughters and one finished son. I’m incredibly proud to have one of her grandsons in my herd, as her progeny’s achievements are a testament to the incredible foundation Mazy laid for us.
This connection to Amazing’s legacy shows just how special Goldikova is and continues the extraordinary heritage of her family. I am thrilled to have a buck with a consistent line in the LA scorecard, including udder height!
The exceptional qualities in Goldikova’s pedigree and the achievements of those before her have earned her this prestigious recognition by ADGA, highlighting her as one of the standout goats in the breed with AMAZING potential.

*B Better Wayz Spice It Up & Better Wayz Pumpkin Spice VEEE 90 5*M
As I continue to do a deep dive into Goldikova’s pedigree, the natural next step is to talk about her grandsire, Better Wayz BC Spice It Up *B, and his dam, Better Wayz Pumpkin Spice 5*M VEEE 90…
Got milk?! Holy moly is Jarvis’s sire, Better Wayz BC Spice It Up *B, full of milky lines and packed with high-scoring LA scores for generations! Now, that’s consistency at its best! He has consistently produced progeny with extremely level top lines and wide, flat rumps, straight legs, and feet!
Jarvis comes from a line packed with heavy milking genetics and generations of high-scoring Linear Appraisal (LA) scores. His pedigree is loaded with strong, structurally correct animals, which shows in his offspring.
Spice It Up's dam, Better Wayz Pumpkin Spice 5*M, appraised in 2024 as a 5th freshener with a score of VEEE 90, showcasing her excellence in mammary, body, and dairy strength. She’s also had a successful show history, consistently placing at the top of her class and earning a Reserve Grand Champion title.
But it doesn’t stop there—Pumpkin Spice’s genetics are extraordinary. Her dam, grand dams, and other close relatives scored excellent in mammary systems, with LA scores of 91 and 92. (See the attached photo w/ her pedigree & scores.)
With such a strong foundation, it’s no surprise that Spice It Up is set to pass on these commendable traits, including strong top lines, wide, flat rumps, and exceptional mammary systems.
These lines have high PTIs, with many going Elite and scoring very high in butterfat. I don’t know about you, but I love a lot of butterfat in my goat milk! More about these fantastic does later - I couldn’t be more thrilled to have these does in my genetics!
Goldikova’s lineage is a shining example of consistency, quality, and excellence—traits that have made her the star she is today. The legacy of these incredible goats lives on in her, and we couldn’t be more excited to share this journey with you all.
