Ascot Showdown: Kalpana's Comeback Victory Overshadows Larger Trends in Racing The King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot is a rare event that combines drama, skill, and high stakes competition.
Last Saturday's edition was no exception, as five year old mare Kalpana delivered a stunning upset by defeating Calandagan, the favorite from last year's contest.
Kalpana's victory marks another success for Irish trained horses at Ascot, particularly in high profile events like the King George.
