The Japan Cup rematch is on!
Calandagan and Masquerade Ball renew their rivalry in Saturday's King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes.
Calandagan edged victory by a head in Tokyo, setting a new track record with a top speed of 67.25 km/h and showcasing his trademark late acceleration.
Who comes out on top at Ascot?

Calandagan's victory in the 2025 King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes is considered to be one of the best performances by a middle-distance horse in the last decade. When we compare his in-race metrics to those of the other recent winners of the race, it's easy to see why!

CONSTITUTION HlLL🫡
A perfectly executed comeback @Southwell_Races under @oismurphy to dominate the performance metrics! 📈
Hitting a Top Speed of just shy of 40mph between the 2f-1f markers cleared this true equine athlete away to win by an incredible 9.5 lengths 🚀 #ConstitutionHill

For all the glitz of the @BreedersCup as race 1 approaches I must remember to thank Alastair Down for making this great sport appeal to this youth as I went from fan, to punter to owner to @TPDZone insider! Playful and passionate. He always had fun and that came across
