Kalpana (GB) (Study Of Man {Ire}), runner-up in Sunday's Listed Pretty Polly S. at Newmarket, is unlikely to be supplemented for the G1 Oaks at Epsom, with connections instead leaning towards a tilt at the G2 Ribblesdale S. at Royal Ascot on Thursday, June 20. Trained by Andrew Balding, the Juddmonte-owned Kalpana was sent off the 4/6 favourite for the Pretty Polly having been the 10-length winner of a handicap over the same course and distance on her previous start. In the event, she found the once-raced Friendly Soul (GB) (Kingman {GB}) too strong on her return to the Rowley Mile, but it was a performance from which Barry Mahon, Juddmonte's European racing manager, still took plenty of encouragement. “I would say her and the winner looked two very good fillies to pull 12 lengths clear of the third and to win her race by 10 lengths the last day indicates she has a good level of ability,” said Mahon. “She's exciting and we'll discuss plans over the next 10 days, but we will probably wait for the Ribblesdale at Ascot, I would imagine. That would be the initial plans we were thinking. She's had four runs since January and has to have a break at some stage. This would seem a logical time.” Juddmonte could still be represented in the Oaks by the John and Thady Gosden-trained Siyola (Ire), who created an excellent impression when recently making a winning debut at Sandown. That victory earned the daughter of Siyouni (Fr) an automatic berth in the Epsom Classic and a run in the G3 Musidora S. at York on Wednesday, May 15 is now on the cards to find out whether she's up to that sort of level. “She looked a nice filly and she's a very well-bred, good-looking filly,” said Mahon. “She took a little bit of time to come to hand and I think John and Thady have been pretty sweet on her for quite a while. “At the back of our minds we are thinking to go to York for the Musidora. We weren't in the Oaks and initially you are thinking we're not in it so we don't have to point that way. But we have the 'win and you're in' now and she needs to run again, so it makes logical sense to go to the Musidora and we will find out if we're good enough to hold that engagement.” The post Plans Taking Shape For Juddmonte’s Team Of Three-Year-Old Fillies appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Date With Destiny (Ire), the sole offspring of the brilliant G1 2,000 Guineas winner George Washington (Ire), has died due to complications following colic surgery, Newsells Park Stud announced on Tuesday. In a statement posted on X, formerly Twitter, Newsells Park said, “Very sad to report that we lost Date With Destiny over the weekend, due to complications following colic surgery. She was 16. “Date With Destiny was the only progeny of George Washington and the dam of Group winner Beautiful Morning. A Diva. She will be missed by us all here.” Trained by Aidan O'Brien, George Washington's arrival at Coolmore Stud in 2006 was eagerly anticipated following a glittering career in which he also won the G1 Phoenix S. and G1 National S. as a juvenile, as well as the G1 Queen Elizabeth II S. later in his three-year-old campaign. However, he was soon back in training at Ballydoyle having been found to be infertile and later suffered a fatal injury as a four-year-old when running in the GI Breeders' Cup Classic at Monmouth Park. George Washington managed to impregnate just one mare in his time at Coolmore Stud, namely the Rainbow Quest mare Flawlessly (Fr). Bred by Azienda Agricola Loreto Luciani, the resulting filly first went through the ring at the Goffs November Foal Sale when selling to Glidawn Stud for €280,000. She was later named Date With Destiny by owner Julie Wood, having been bought for 320,000gns at Book 1 of the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale. Sent into training with Richard Hannon, Date With Destiny made a stylish winning debut as a two-year-old at Newbury but failed to add to her tally in six subsequent starts. She did gain valuable black type when finishing third in the Listed Oaks Trial S. at Lingfield, however, before being bought by Jake Warren Bloodstock for 185,000gns at the Tattersalls December Mares Sale later that year. As a broodmare Date With Destiny has produced three winners, headed by the G3 Royal Whip S. heroine Beautiful Morning (GB) (Galileo {Ire}). She is also responsible for the four-year-old Classic (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}), a dual winner for the Hannon yard in the familiar Wood silks, plus Chantilly maiden winner La Gloire (GB) (Churchill {Ire}). Truly one of a kind, Date With Destiny has a yearling colt by Night Of Thunder (Ire) and a filly foal by Ghaiyyath (Ire) still to come.
