Calandagan (Mickael Barzalona) franking the rich vein of form of the Aga Khan-Francis-Henri Graffard combination with another stellar win at the elite level, this time coming in the Group 1 Qipco Champion Stakes (2,000m) at Ascot on Oct 18. PHOTO: RACING AND SPORTS
Calandagan continued his love affair with Ascot when putting up a sublime performance to defeat Ombudsman in the £1,417,500 (S$2.46 million) Group 1 Qipco Champion Stakes (2,000m) for Francis-Henri Graffard on Oct 18.
Just a fortnight after Daryz carried the same famous silks of the late Aga Khan to victory in the Group 1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe (2,400m), Calandagan returned to Ascot looking to complete a Group 1hat-trick following victories in the Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud (2,400m) and King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes (2,400m).
Held up throughout under Mickael Barzalona, the gelded four-year-old son of Gleneagles peeled out wide as the pace began to lift turning for home.
