'Less time' - Calandagan trainer reacts as Kalpana turns the tables in Ascot's big race

Kalpana reversed last year's result against Calandagan in the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot, with the two horses finishing in opposite positions compared to 2024. Calandagan had been the favourite in the 2025 running, where it finished ahead of Kalpana, but Kalpana turned the tables in the latest edition of the prestigious race. Calandagan's trainer commented that the horse had 'less time' as a factor in the outcome.
