Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted October 18 Journalists Posted October 18 Juddmonte's star distaffer Kalpana (Study Of Man), trapped wide and never really a factor in this month's G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, bounced back to her best in imperious fashion and outsmarted her rivals for back-to-back renewals of Saturday's G1 Qipco British Champions Fillies & Mares at Ascot. “It was a great performance and she's been very consistent all year,” said winning rider Colin Keane. “Things didn't go to plan in France and fair play to Andrew [Balding] and the team for making the call to bring her back so quick. She's a filly that thrives on her racing, so this is brilliant.” Ideally positioned in a stalking second for the most part and racing hard on the bridle straightening for home, the 11-8 favourite surged clear in style to settle the 12-furlong test in a matter of strides soon after passing the quarter-mile marker and stayed on powerfully once clear to easily defeat Estrange (Night Of Thunder) and Quisisana (Le Havre) by 2 1/2 lengths and 3/4-of-a-length.
