Kalpana King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes Betting Odds
Kalpana, a five-year-old mare trained by Andrew Balding, is set for her second attempt at the prestigious 2026 King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes. With two Group One victories at Ascot and a strong performance in last year's King George, finishing second, Kalpana has established herself as an Ascot specialist. Most recently, she finished runner-up in the Hardwicke Stakes, confirming her form on fast ground. She remains a strong contender for the title this Saturday, carrying Juddmonte Stud's iconic silks.

Kalpana has become somewhat of a specialist around Ascot. Andrew Balding's mare won the Champion Fillies' & Mares' Stakes in 2024, and successfully defended her Champions Day crown 12 months ago, just two weeks after a seventh-place finish in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe.
Colin Keane's mount ran a screamer in the King George last season, finishing second behind Calandagan. Kalpana returns to the King George on the back of another runner-up effort in the Hardwicke Stakes, where she was passed late on by Giavellotto.
Balding's five-year-old proved that day that she could produce her best on fast ground, and she'll see out the distance well on Saturday. Kalpana will be number six on your racecard, and wears the famous green, pink and white silks of owners Juddmonte Stud.
