However, Goldikova versus Rip Van Winkle in the Queen Anne at Royal Ascot could be a clash of two of the best milers Europe has seen in recent years.

I don't mean to lecture to you or the author of this excellent blog, but in pedigree parlance a granddam is used to connote the 2nd dam of the horse, not to the horse's sire's dam. Therefore, Ta Wee, to use the example at the left, is the dam of Great Above, but Holy Bull's granddam is Agathea's Dawn. Keith: Champs Elysees is a brother to the top sire Dansili, sire of Proviso.

That's a similar pedigree to Canada's horse of the year Champs Elysees if I'm not mistaken...(Danehill/Hasili) Nice catch on the score by Proviso.
