US EditionKalpana attempting to beat the boys in King George
- Calandagan, a horse trained in France and guided by jockey Mickael Barzalona, secured victory over Kalpana in the prestigious 2023 race at Ascot honoring King George VI and Queen Elizabeth.
- Calandagan had struggled with four previous top-level defeats but broke through with a Group One win at Saint-Cloud four weeks earlier, renewing rivalry with Jan Brueghel.
- Jockey Barzalona praised Calandagan's acceleration and stride, saying he just needs to be put in the right spot and the horse does the rest.
- Calandagan won by a length ahead of Kalpana, with Rebel's Romance finishing third despite being impeded during the race; following the event, the trophy was awarded by the Queen.
- Calandagan’s win at Ascot secures a major Group One title for trainer Francis-Henri Graffard and positions the horse for races at York and potentially rules him out of the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe.
