Calandagan (Gleneagles) entered Sunday's G1 Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud with a question to answer and did so in his customary style to register back-to-back successes in the 12-furlong feature.Bogged down in the Coronation Cup last month, the flagship performer of The Aga Khan Studs had his favoured lively conditions here and was dropped out as usual by Mickael Barzalona with every rival ahead. Last at the 500-metre marker and in front at the furlong pole, the 30-100 favourite closed out with his trademark dazzling sectionals, hitting 10.94, 10.55 and 11.18 for the last three furlongs.At the line, the homebred had a neck to spare over Godolphin's Cualificar (Lope De Vega), with 3/4 of a length back to the winner's stablemate Sunly (Night Of Thunder) in third and another four to last year's runner-up Aventure (Sea The Stars), running a time of 2:27.27 which is a second faster than he managed in 2025.“I was upset with myself at Epsom and he was on edge and sweating more than usual today, so I was worried,” Francis Graffard said. “In the end, I said to Mickael to just ride him to suit and trust in him and he's such a good horse–he's like a greyhound, if you put a rabbit in front of him he goes after it. These Group 1s are hard races and I like them to enjoy themselves–that's the main thing. The plan is to go back to the King George and Ascot is a good place for him, but we'll see how he comes out of this as it's very hot today.”CALANDAGAN RETAINS HIS GRAND PRIX DE SAINT-CLOUD CROWN! pic.twitter.com/tKTSrIhBvc— At The Races (@AtTheRaces) July 5, 2026The post Calandagan Swoops For Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud Repeat appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
