'Kalpana' scored a strong victory by a narrow margin in the Legends Global Yorkshire Oaks, which graced the second day of the Eber meeting at York's Navesmire Field. The five-year-old filly, who continued to show match fitness from his King George victory, was first to touch the goal line by a 'short head', holding off a strong challenge from the speeding 'Sparran Nooa' in the final furlong.
Right from the beginning the competition changed direction. The Aidan O'Brien-trained 'Sugar Island' took the lead and jockey Ronan Whelan pulled away from the pack to lead by around 20 lengths by the homestretch. But as the main players began to pick up a rhythm, 'Kalpana', ridden by Colin Keane, began to chase three furlongs before the run. With two furlongs to go Kalpana changed gears and took the lead, but Jim Bolger's Sparran Nooah was caught in the narrow and Petty quickly closed the gap.
In the final moments, the goal line came to suit 'Kalpana'. Jockey Colin Keane kept his composure under pressure from the 10-11 favorite to secure a second Group One trophy in less than 24 hours for trainer Andrew Paulding and owners Jadmonte. It is noteworthy that ``Adam'' had set a record a day earlier at the Judmonte International held in the same York.
JutMonday Europe Racing Manager Perry Mahon said afterwards: “We saw the race become a bit chaotic in the opening two furlongs. Keane had to commit a bit more early as the pacemaker pulled away. So at the end there was a chance that an opponent would rush in, but 'Kalpana' kept her head in front of her like a player who knows where the goal line is. He emphasized that this filly's strength was his ability to pace himself over fast ground, slow ground, 12 furlongs—and 10 furlongs if necessary.
It's a good idea for Jutmonte's team to decide which hard ball to send next. 'Idam' or 'Kalpana'—one of the two could get a chance at the 'Arc de Triomphe' at Paris Longchamp. If 'Idam' gets Arc clearance, 'Kalpana', who finished seventh in last year's Arc, could be aiming for the 'Gibco British Champions Fillies & Mares Stakes' title at Ascot this October. The current attitude is not to put both of them on the same team for arc competition. The route is to be decided in the next two weeks in consultation with the owners, keeping in mind the conditions—particularly the dryness of the ground. There is also the possibility of 'Kalpana' retiring at the end of the season; Alternate routes such as the Breeders' Cup are also accounted for if Arc is omitted.
All in all, the Yorkshire Oaks last-minute thriller reaffirmed the morale and professional consistency of 'Kalpana'. 'Sugar Island', who escaped from the front, and 'Sparran Nua', who ran at the end, between them, 'Kalpana' picked the right pace at the right moment and ended up dealing with an unusually tough competition. The win lays a confident foundation for Jatmonde's tactical design on the European stage for the rest of the season.
What happens next
Kalpana, with this win, the horse racing club has a chance to make further progress. In the next matches, he and his coach, Andrew Paulding, will plan to continue the success.
