Kalpana stamps her class on Ascot field

Andrew Balding’s charge dominates Fillies & Mares Stakes.

Kalpana proved much the best when landing the Qipco British Champions Fillies & Mares Stakes at Ascot.

Ridden by William Buick and trained by Andrew Balding, Kalpana was ridden patiently as the 10-3 favourite and kept handy as the turn for home approached.

In the straight she began to accelerate and was well able to pull clear of her 13 rivals, prevailing comfortably by two lengths from Aidan O’Brien’s Wingspan.

Tiffany finished three lengths further behind in third.
