Kalpana (Study Of Man) will be the only Juddmonte runner in the G1 Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe with Sunly (Night Of Thunder) re-routed to the G1 Prix de Royallieu the day prior, according to Barry Mahon, racing manager for Juddmonte.Seventh in the Arc last autumn to Daryz (Sea The Stars) for Andrew Balding, Kalpana landed the G1 King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes, as well as the G1 Yorkshire Oaks in 2026.“It was a tough call, but Kalpana has done nothing wrong all year and they [the owners] wanted to give her her shot at it,” said Mahon. “Sunly we felt will stay the extra trip so she will tackle the Royallieu.“We obviously had to hope from four to five Kalpana retained all her ability which she has proved this year – Maybe even operating at a higher level than last year. Once we answered the question it was always going to be the owners' intention to point her towards the Arc.“That was partly why she stayed in training, the Arc and Ascot Champions weekend which were her two main targets of the year. That and the King George. She has managed to tick the first box and we are hoping she can tick one or two more before the end of the year.”Mahon–who confirmed G1 Juddmonte International Stakes hero Item (Frankel) was finished for the year–maintains Kalpana is a different animal this term.He added, “She seems totally different this year. We felt last year she needed soft ground whereas this year she has kind of blown that theory apart in the King George and Royal Ascot on the two fastest grounds.“She has run her highest mark in the King George and Colin [Keane, jockey] felt that last time at York the soft ground blunted her speed a little bit. I think she has got quicker and now has an ability to handle quicker ground which obviously in France in the next week is probably a positive.”The post Kalpana To The Arc, Sunly To The Royallieu For Juddmonte appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
