Calandagan, Coolmore and Brough Scott steal the show at the 35th Cartier Racing Awards
The Mercury
|November 24, 2025
HORSES from France, Ireland and Australia starred on a truly international evening at the 35th Cartier Racing Awards last Wednesday, with Calandagan taking the Cartier Horse of the Year title, Coolmore picking up four awards and Asfoora winning the Cartier Sprinter accolade.
-
Brough Scott received a standing ovation at the event, held at the Dorchester Hotel in London, as he was presented with the Cartier/The Daily Telegraph Award of Merit for 2025 after a career in racing that has spanned more than 60 years as a jockey, journalist, broadcaster and author.
Aga Khan Studs
Calandagan became the fourth horse bred by the Aga Khan Studs to be crowned Cartier Horse of the Year following Daylami (1999), Dalakhani (2003) and Zarkava (2008), and the first since the passing of His Highness Aga Khan IV in February.
Trained by Francis-Henri Graffard, Calandagan has enjoyed a superb campaign in 2025, including defeating top-class opposition in the King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes and QIPCO Champion Stakes.
Brigadier Gerard (1972) is the only other horse in history to win both races in the same season.
